Yin Yoga is a slower more relaxed style of yoga where postures are held for 3 minutes or more. Yin is intended to stretch the deeper layers of connective tissue and fascia helping to increase overall flexibility. The practitioner is encouraged to relax into each posture whilst focusing awareness towards the area of the body being worked. Yin is complementary to the Flow yoga which is a Yang style of practice.

New Meditation Class based on Chakra Energy system . 6 weeks; €50(waged), €40 (unwaged) and €9 drop in. All adults welcome.
We all have an energetic field which is part of our body. This natural energy, called bioenergy or chi, flows between the Chakras. We can absorb energy from others, we can leave energy behind and we can give energy to others. Sometimes, energy gets blocked and becomes unbalanced. This Meditation class will focus on unblocking and balancing that energy, which will contribute to a deeper calmness within the constant change of life.

Teen Yoga
Teens are under constant stress from their school work, to friends and family, and pursuing their hobbies. Not only do the yoga poses offer stress relief in the way they manipulate the body, but it is also in the mindfulness element of the practice that teens will find relief and learn to balance their life. When they begin to match their breath to the movement, they begin to slow down and notice what their body is saying to them.

This class is suitable for both Complete beginners and also those who have a yoga practice already or are in training, running, cycling, who want to keep there body at optimum fitness. It will complement an already active life or help those who feel distracted by “mind chatter”. By bringing both Yin and Yang aspects of yoga to each class we can experience all the benefits of both styles and we can use these in different ways. This is a practice that balances the slow-paced Yin yoga with the traditional Yang yoga (Ashtanga and Hatha).

Kundalini Yoga is called the Yoga of Awareness. It is a dynamic, powerful tool that is designed to give you an experience of your Soul.
In Kundalini Yoga we harness the mental, physical, and nervous energies of the body and put them under the domain of the will, which is the instrument of the soul. This technology precisely and consciously combines breath, mudra, eye-focus, mantra, body locks, and postures to balance the glandular system, strengthen the nervous system, expand lung capacity, and purifiy the blood. It brings balance to the body, mind, and soul. Please contact Maggie on 0862666229.

Lisa Connolly
I am delighted to return to DYC after three years of living in Sweden. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m a total physics geek and a renewable energy enthusiast who enjoys running and laughing loudly. I’m also an optimistic early riser who is spontaneous, curious and loves coffee. I have a lighthearted approach to the practice, my aim is to make people feel at home in their own body. My classes are designed to help people cultivate the breath, body, mind connection which I believe is the foundation of the yoga practice. Using alignment principles I like to encourage self inquiry which empowers the practitioner in order to make them feel comfortable and safe.
