I have a new block of Pilates and Breathwork classes starting this week in Bantry and Durrus 🌿

There are a few new classes added, including:

Men’s Pilates
Pregnancy Pilates
Chair Pilates

Pilates is great for:

improving posture and core strength
increasing mobility and flexibility
supporting back health and joint stability
building strength in a low-impact, mindful way

Each class also finishes with a few minutes of gentle breathwork to help calm the nervous system and leave you feeling more relaxed.

Classes are available as a 4-week block (€55) or €15 drop-in.
You can see the full timetable in the image below

If you’re interested, feel free to message me directly, or you can book through the app.

It’s been so fun using a Pilates ball recently in classes, I’ve decided to start a series for fun!

Using a small@ball really helps you engage your muscles more deeply, and maybe even use new ones as well. It can be used for modifications or for a little extra challenge 😉

This quick core sequence is all about building strength, stability and control. It’s not too long so you can squeeze it into a busy schedule, or add it to your workout.

Hopefully it will have you feeling stronger and maybe a little burn in the belly too (I know I did! 😆)

Let me know how it goes and have fun! 🙌

If you’re often out of breath, tense, or feeling like you can’t get a good breath in then it might be
your breathing working against you.

Functional breathing or basically breathing properly for your system supports you in every way - nervous system regulation, mental clarity, better sleep, better circulation and more.

I offer 1:1 consultations and tailored sessions
for athletes and individuals who want to learn how to use their breath better, and feel better.

DM me if you’d like to learn more ✨

Most people over-breathe without realising it — especially during training and competition.

Functional breathing training helps athletes:
✓ improve oxygen efficiency
✓ reduce breathlessness
✓ stay calm under pressure
✓ support faster recovery

By retraining how you breathe (nasal, light, controlled), you create the conditions for better endurance, focus and resilience — in sport and in everyday training.

Free talk:
Bantry Library
Friday 16th
1.00 pm

If you train, coach, or move regularly — this is for you. Hope to see you there :)

This time of year can stir up a lot of extra stress and anxiety, and it’s so easy to forget that your breath is always there to bring you back to a state of calm. Having a few simple breathing techniques in your back pocket can make such a difference — especially in those moments when anxiety kicks in and your in panic mode.

Some gentle ones to try are:
• Box breathing
• 4–7–8 breathing
• Coherent breathing
• Mindful, slow nasal breathing

You can do these anywhere — before sleep, sitting in the car, or any quiet moment you can find for yourself. I’ve put together a list of beginner-friendly breathwork techniques you can explore over the holidays if you’re feeling tense, overwhelmed, or just need a reset.

If you have any questions or if there’s another breathing technique you love, I’d really love to hear it. Your breath is always here to support you.

Learn how breathwork for anxiety can calm your mind, ease stress, and support better sleep with simple, gentle breathing techniques you can use anytime.
