After recovering from Anorexia Nervosa in her early twenties Louise began studying Person-Centred Counselling. She then went on to work as a counsellor in GP surgeries, and as a specialist counsellor in an NHS Eating Disorders Service.
After moving to Ireland with her young family in 2008 Louise became very interested in the immense healing benefits that yoga has on the mind, body, and soul, and embarked on a 200hr Yoga Teaching Diploma in Cork.
Since graduating as a Yoga Teacher in 2010 Louise has attended trainings with several world renowned teachers, and has qualified as a Kids Yoga Teacher, Yin Yoga Teacher and Functional Range Conditioning Mobility Specialist (FRCMs.
Louise has attended many further trainings – including Restorative Yoga, Yoga for Stress & Anxiety, and Eating Disorders. She is also trained in Trauma Sensitive Yoga and is a member of Yoga Alliance Professionals.
Louise says “Yoga has taught me that there is a place inside of me that is peaceful and calm, and it’s a place that I’m happy now to call “home’. I don’t live there all the time… sometimes life can be stressful and crazy!…but I know it is always there for me to come back to and that yoga is the means to find my way home.” She believes Yoga is the perfect way to reconnect our mind and our body, which for those suffering from any type of anxiety can bring much needed relief.
Louise’s classes are suitable for all levels. She teaches her own unique blend of Hatha Yoga combined with mobility exercises that serve to increase flexibility and also improve the function and health of our joints.
Louise also teaches Chair Yoga and Restorative yoga in the studio, and offers regular workshops to help students learn about their nervous systems and to teach tools for nervous system regulation.
Testimonial: “I’ve been going to Yoga with Louise for over 5 years and rarely miss a class. Louise is a very passionate about her yoga practice and the importance of connecting to your body. Each class is tailored to suit all levels with modifications available for postures if needed. At the same time Louise’s energy and passion inspires us to challenge ourselves. Louise is an excellent teacher and each posture is explained clearly. Louise is constantly developing her practice and she takes her students on this journey with her. Each class brings something new, whether its a posture, a tip, or just a little thought to reflect on. Thanks Louise.” ~ Nicola
