Instructors
Eleanor Dawson
Eleanor Dawson has lovely soft energies and has been practicing yoga since the 1990s. She completed her 750-hour yoga teacher training in the ViniYoga tradition and this form of yoga modifies the postures and practices so they are tailored to suit each individual person so that anybody can practice yoga. Eleanor brings mindfulness and awareness to all her teaching, and this helps bring one’s awareness into the present moment and to help let go of any cares or worries. As Eleanor guides you to tune inwards in the present moment, you will begin to feel a sense of peacefulness within.
Carmel Cronin
In 2002, Carmel undertook her first 200-hour yoga teacher training course and later went on to complete a diploma in yoga therapy with the yoga teacher training. Carmel holds a diploma in anatomy and physiology. She was fortunate to also be interested in meditation from an early age and later went on to study Transcendental meditation and found the stress-relieving benefits of meditation to be life transforming. Carmel also has a love for Tai Chi, and she studied fluid power, the Vinyasa wave with Shiva Rea to create unique and novel Vinyasa sequences.
Grainne O’Malley
Grainne has been practicing yoga for over 12 years and currently, she teaches a number of different styles of yoga including Yoga Flow, Yin yoga, Restorative yoga, Hot yoga and also Vinyasa yoga. She has always been very interested in the breath and how yoga can be so powerful at transformation on many levels but yet to the untrained eye looks so simple from the outside. Grainne likes to keep her classes varied and versatile so that students are kept on their toes and never know what to expect.
Margarida Tree
Margarida is originally from Canada, and owned and operated her yoga shala for 15 years in Florida before moving to Ireland. She has been teaching for 28 years with a down to earth approach arising from an appreciation of both the eastern practice and the western lifestyle. Margarida makes the yoga practice accessible to everyone and encourages her students to do a consistent practice in order to improve health on a mental, physical, and emotional level.
Eileen Riordan O’Sullivan
Eileen teaches Hatha flow yoga and also Restorative yoga. She is a very positive-minded teacher and has a very caring way about her.
