Over my decades of practising and teaching yoga and meditation, I’ve found that these practices have brought me joy and a sense of freedom. There have been ups and downs but I don’t think any of us reckoned on what happened to the world in 2020. Those three years have taken their toll on everyone, myself included. Most of us, even if we didn’t get seriously ill, were detrimentally affected mentally, emotionally and socially by lockdowns and constant fearmongering, job insecurity and the fallout of all this in our personal lives.

I trundled along and I kept my classes going to some extent online. But even when we got back to real life, we didn’t really get back to real life. There has been an enormous change. And it’s hit the world of Irish yoga too. Regrettably, we’ve seen some really great teachers and studios depart the scene altogether.  Unable to weather the storm. I’m happy to say that I’m still in the fight. Although a bit battered and bruised. And an awful lot pudgier. Yoga is not really about cool postures, although accessing ourselves through our bodies and keeping ourselves healthy and moving is part of it all. For me, yoga is about being able to stay in the fight.

So if you want to give staying in the fight a go, you’re very welcome to join us at our friendly classes at the Wisdom Centre, where yoga is genuinely for all.
