Return to the heart

Eimear and Vicky invite you to a special workshop inspired by their recent travels in India.

The afternoon will begin with a gentle breathwork practice led by Vicky, accompanied by Eimear on sound bowls.

From there, you’ll be guided into a deeply nourishing Yoga Nidra practice with Eimear, held and supported by sound from Vicky.

This in-depth workshop is designed to give you the time, space and guidance to explore the mechanics of some of the key yoga postures in your practice beyond the pace of a regular class.

We’ll break down the primary movements of Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) and expand into a selection of foundational postures that support strength, balance and functional alignment across your practice.

You’ll explore postures like:

• Tadasana (Mountain Pose)
• Standing Backbend
• Uttanasana (Forward Fold)
• Chaturanga Dandasana
• Cobra/Upward Dog
• Downward Facing Dog
• Stepping Through from Down Dog
• Warrior 1, 2 & 3
• Trikonasana (Triangle Pose)
• Side Angle & Extended Side Angle

As well as looking at common mistakes, there will be detailed anatomical breakdowns - understanding the “why” behind alignment, muscle engagement and movement patterns. There will be lots of targeted drills and preparatory movements to help you build strength and more importantly awareness in key areas.

Some partner work & drills are also included to help you better feel into your own posture and alignment, as well as before-and-after movement exploration so you can directly experience how new awareness and technique can change your practice. There will be time for some Q&A as well as hands-on adjustments at the end of the workshop.

Whether you’re a little newer to yoga practice and want a stronger foundation, or you’re a more experienced practitioner or teacher looking to refine your technique and understanding, this workshop will help you move with more clarity and confidence. You’ll leave with practical tools to support your ongoing yoga practice, and hopefully a few lightbulb moments along the way.

Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation and translates to 'yogic sleep'.

It is a practice for everyone and is usually practiced lying down in any comfortable position with props and blankets.

Yoga Nidra draws our awarness inwards, to explore that liminial space between wakefulness and sleep.

Taking this time out of your day to simply rest into a deeper state of blissful awareness.

Spring Equinox | Yin, Nidra & Sound

Around 21st March, the Spring Equinox marks a moment of balance. Day and night stand equal, before the light begins its gentle return. Mornings grow brighter, evenings stretch a little longer, and something quietly shifts beneath the surface.

John O’Donohue writes in To Bless the Space Between Us:

“The beauty of nature insists on taking its time. Everything is prepared. Nothing is rushed… the beginning of spring nearly always catches us unawares.”

This Spring Equinox gathering is an invitation to slow down and meet that subtle turning of the season.

Through three complementary practices, we’ll create space for rest, reflection, and renewal. Yin yoga, led by Susan, offers a steady, grounding start, inviting the body to soften and open at its own pace. From there, Nidra, guided by Eimear, allows the nervous system to settle more deeply, creating a bridge between rest and awareness. The practice closes with Sound, held by Ciara, supporting integration and resonance, allowing what has been stirred to settle and find its own rhythm.

Together, these practices work in quiet conversation, supporting the body, breath, and mind as they adjust to the changing season. There is no effort to become anything, only space to notice what is already emerging.

For some, this may feel like a time of planting seeds. For others, it may simply be a pause, a moment to listen and realign. All of it is welcome.

This event is open to everyone, and no prior experience of yoga is needed. Come as you are, and allow the season to meet you where you are.
