So YOUNG. Couldn't NOT do this trend!
Baby moonsyoga. Newly returned after 6 years living in Melbourne. Bought a house. Many days of classes, workshops, study and practice. Poses everywhere. Insta hubbie begrudgingly papping me in the wild. Travel Fun. Quotes were life. Instagram was fairly new and a heavy filter was key. Beginnings, Beginnings.
It's so beautiful to look back at who I was, how I grew and how my passion has stayed the same. Except perhaps my passion for Yoga is more firmly in the sloth like nervous system soothing aspects, Meditation....... rather than the power flow insta worthy pose asana.... from this era!
Sweet to recap with a smile.

Seven whole years of Loft Love AND Nollaig na mBán....is certainly reason to celebrate!!!
It's very hard to encapsulate the amount of gratitude I have for every single person who has been on this journey with us. The Loft is a love hub, my hq, a community intersection, a place for Yoga & Pilates, for Treatments and Coaching. Photoshoots, Trainings in many modalities, often rolling along quietly in our humble little pocket of peace.
I never started out wanting a Studio but it found me (it's a good story!) and when I say it hasn't been easy over the years, it's an understatement!!! Closed on/off for nearly 2years of Covid with still bills to pay - hard.
But, when I see the smiles between strangers, the care the Teachers are able to give in the small classes, the off shoots like our Yoga Holidays, Trainings and Workshops...when I see the morning sun stream through or the fire flicker in the evenings...I know it has an important place in the world. It's a huge privilege.
Thanks to YOU...who came years ago, who now still never miss a week, those who started coming as students and are now in the Teacher's seat! Thanks to our Accupuncture and Life Coaching Clients and thanks to every other person who passes through the doors!
Our THANK YOU Competition - A pass for this weekend's Half Day Retreat, a pack of Drop-in passes and a beautiful Yoga mat from holdereight. Simply comment Happy Birthday! below & ensure you are following moonsyogaloft and moonsyoga to have your name in the hat!! Extra entry for anyone who shares... le love... in the various places ❤️
Winner announced tomorrow at midday, nothing worse than waiting weeks to hear if you are a winner winner chicken dinner!!
But seriously, THANK YOU and here is to many more years of goodness pouring out into the world!!

Three simple areas that I myself focus on, as a long time Yogi, Meditation Teacher and Coach!! Curl up and ponder, but don't push. Let that intuitive wisdom rise!!
A very Happy New Year to one and all. Thank you to everyone who attends classes, workshops, trainings. Who comments, shares, likes and most importantly recommends. I never take for granted what a privilege it is to do my job. It's an honour xxx
3x AREAS...
What do I want to start prioritising?...
And Why?
And How?
How do I want 2026 to FEEL as I move through it?...
What needs to be removed/ added to my overall life to help achieve this?
What needs to be removed/added to my daily routine and habits?
What does YOUR definition of success look like for you in this season of your life?
Your individual perspective, not others.
Let clarity be your compass!

An honest share. Filled with the Solstice energy of holding space for BOTH.
Light and Dark. Sunshine moments & rainy days.
But overall happy with the amount that worked, that is working, and BEYOND excited to slide into 2026 with an excited flutter in my belly.
Ready to launch new offerings, to continue working with people in ways that light me up and help them, a lot.
Ready to let the final remnants of questioning quiet and step fully into my POWER.

If you don't know yourself, your values, what lifts your heart, what is important- how can you begin to curate and design a life you love.
My wish for 2026 is that more people lean inwards to start the journey towards THEIR joy!
The Process: Stillness. Micro Meditations. Living Yoga.
#lifedesign #meditation #awareness #wellbeing #lifecoaching
Radically resisting more and choosing contentment.
It's a time of year where everyone is going to be shouting even louder which means that you need to be even more quiet.
Simply taking rebellious time every day to just hang out with yourself away from the noise to hear yourself think, to feel yourself feeeeel and to know what you already know. 5 mins inside side each day?!
Don't listen to the BS. Where you are... might just be exactly where you're meant to be and who you are, might be exactly who you're meant to be...
Tune out of the should to tune into a satisfied sigh!
Love,
Mxxx

Being and not doing, I talk about it a lot.
Meditation is the ultimate cultivator of beingness. But, we can often bring in sprinkles of space in our day where we can choose less in order to feel more.
More Human Beingness. Peace. Awareness. Experience.
Just a suggestion this Sunday because I KNOW so many of you are like me and have become multitasking maestros... to a fault.
Try some magic monotasking today. Read the book, no music. Watch the movie, no phone. Chat to a friend, no distractions. Eat in peace. Run without noise. Sit in nature and just observe. Walk to just stoll.
Does this resonate? Have we become too good at multitasking, dual screening, layering experience unnecessarily? I know I have. And it takes practice to stop. Stillness practice. (I'll always loop it back to Meditation being your super power!!)

A little love ramble about my January 10th gather!
The cutest present exchange for a pal (you both win!), a gift to your 2026 self from yourself or...the nudge to a loved one who doesn't know what to get you!
Some inspiration to create your own inspiration.
Some headspace to refine and realign to your most powerful you.

Why does an open fire
FEEL so good?
The neuroscience: The emotional center of the
brain, the amygdala, is activated
by the stimuli fire provides, which
can help promote relaxation
& reduce stress. AND the crackling
sounds soothes bloody pressure
and lowers the heart rate.
And you know I'll nod to how it is THE ultimate way to romanticise the regular!
Plus it makes my eyes and heart smile.
We KNOW what's good for us!
Hope your weekend was as cosy as ours.
Also, the lightbox lamp eh?!?! Mx

Often we're living with a constant tug between where we think we want to be ... and where we are. Sometimes it just takes having the perspective to see how much this low hum discomfort is affecting us. To acknowledge and face it and disempowered it by compassionately bringing gratitude acceptance to all that you are ALREADY DOING and where you are right now ALREADY.
It's yet another symptom of the hustle constant strive culture.
Unmet expectation or under utilised creativity can be incredibly frustrating. And the world would have us believe that we can do it all but sometimes certain chapters of our life don't allow for needs to be met in certain areas. This is okay.... times change, capacity expands and contracts and expands again.
But what is within our power is acknowledging and accepting the reality of that itch, hum, discomfort and letting go of that constant tug that might be a low-key taking away from what is, from the now.

It really is a feeling thing and not a thinking thing.
To truly feel and experience oneself as they navigate this lived experience has become a luxury.
Loving movement. Intentional stillness.
Little love notes to yourself that enhance your ability to feel more deeply and live more richly.

Googled our symtoms and it turns we just needed to be turned off and on.
Turned off... for meditative silence, introspection, inner-spiration, felt experience of self, knowing exploration and then...
Turned on... with some belly fluttering excited empowered planning. Utilisation of internal data to design, tweak, align and exhale into the next chapter of our lives.
Stillness & Transformation.
Meditation & Life Design.
Saturday was beyond gorgeous. So much so that we are harnessing this power again in January for some New Year Badassary!
Can't wait!! Mx
Thanks as always to our amazing neighbours camerinobakery who supplied us with the best nourishment!
And the gorgeous gift bag goodie givers - the delicious homespun and equally beautiful katiekombucha who actually joined us on the day! And the home wellbeing supports from sisterly and skinformulas - drifting home full hands and hearts!

It's a radical act, to celebrate where you are, without the need to be on a 'journey' to some alternative better.
Modern day mindset often has us believing that there is always always more to fix. It's so easy to let that 'auto-preference perspective' askew satisfaction levels, in lieu of embracing what IS with a contented sigh. (What would they sell you if you were content?!?!)
Most of us are au fait these days with this subliminal ideology that drives a lot of us to stive in perpetuity towards generic money and success goals. Many of us are doing The Work to dismantle these structures in our minds and free us to make choices of our own creation, for our own personal fulfillment.
But ... because we are habitual beings often this mindset also bleeds into our everyday personal home life in a way that is so subtle it's more difficult to detect or dismantle.
Messy, wonderful, acceptance without the looming sticky pressure of needing anymore or anything that isn't right in front of you. Rebellious. That's why I meditate, hanging out with yourself in non-doing will quickly give you perspective and discernment of what you are doing with your eyes open. Done daily, it anchors it to your bones!
Don't believe the hype, don't race to change - because maybe, just maybe... you are exactly where you are meant to be, doing exactly what you were meant to do!
I think I've wasted far too many precious moments, not leaning fully into them. Even with all the work, it requires even more utterly rebellious intentional attention, but boy is it worth it! Mx

Feeling the overwhelmness of wellness and life in general? Perhaps you just need time, space, to be minded for half a day?!
To breathe, be, feel and then plan for some positive change in your life.

Expect...Deeply Healing Guided Meditations. Soothing Breath-Work. Subtle Body Energetic Reset. Coffees &unch Bites. Mini Massage. Quiet Time. Guidance. Personal Development/Reflection. Coach Led Life Design Workshop. Project Me Review & Realignment. Softness & Action. Space. Clarity. Planning. Power.

I've so many thoughts and feelings that perhaps don't make it to the grid. I'm 40 now, no more hesitation.
The world is not in a good place but there is SO much goodness to harness and so many good people trying to help. There is also a lot of BS. We need our ancient wisdom traditions, mental health and wellbeing supports more than ever. But we must MUST become far more discerning about where/ how we invest and digest them.
You will always be your best compass 👆🏼 Enjoy my rebellious suggestions above with love. Mx

When I started my teaching journey many moons ago, this was my WHY. To help people, including myself - be better friends with themselves.
It's getting increasingly more difficult for us all, and it's been especially hard for me the last few years with two new little best mates who have stolen my heart and focus. Now as I feel my capacity and heart expand once more back to my work- I'm recognising that everything still comes back to this.
Take enough time in your life to know, love, befriend yourself as you live it.

When the hair goes up, you know I mean business!
This...I find is a really sweet way of hearing the inner voice. The one we often quiet in lieu of more realistic realistic preferences. The intuitive wisdom hearts desire that the intellect shoos away and replaces with... should. Eugh, should. It's like ready mix for a limiting belief cake!!!
Life is so bloody short - if you are brave enough, day dream or share below what ... would the audience be screaming at you to do??? What??
And let's get planning!

The magical liminal space between night and day lets us find a peace that can only truly be FELT (not explained).
So much of what I speak/share isn't flashy entertainment or intellectually complex hypothesis. It's about subtle, esoteric suggestions that encourage leaning into the felt experience of self, of life.
One of the most powerful ways to explain the beingness felt in meditation is the peace that is felt in true awe and wonder. As I'm always chasing that high, I collect sunrises for that same spectacular simplicity.
Getting high on our own supply - observing the sacredness of life!!! Isn't it magic!??
Plus, with a wonderful 5am wake up - it would have been rude not to start the kids off collecting their own bounty of beautiful sunrises. Happy Bank Holiday Moonbeams x

As a millenial Irish Woman, I've had to battle not only the universal patriarchal pressure to play small but also a very uniquely oppressive set of conditoning woven in our culture by women, for women. And let's not even get started on the religious connotations that had the psyche lean more into punishment than nourishment.
These subversive parameters are mostly invisible yet incredibly prevalent and essentially contain us in a 'don't get above your station kind of way!'. Girl power ✌🏼 but don't be like, obsessed with yourself.
Thankfully times are changing but... with a lot of my coaching clients, friends and fellow country women in/around my age - yes we are living in a new progressive self care world but we still controlled by messaging that holds us back. Unbeknownst to ourselves.
This is what daily stillness, awareness, life design, intentional living gives us - the power to perceive these limiting voices as they hold us back from caring for ourselves FULLY!
I'll go that spa/night out/time out, do that thing but you will barely enjoy it for the guilt... and don't be wanting more, there's an invisible limit for how much you look after yourself don't you know!
I want Willow to grow up in a world where she is so incredibly obsessed with herself that she is her own best friend, that she values her opinion /intuitive wisdom above all else, that she is not influenced to hold back on caring for herself in any way she can. I think her gen will grow along side this ever improving world of self kindness. For us aged, dripping with conditioning... we need to be doubling down with intention, on purpose. This is why we do the work.
If ANY of this resonates don't scroll on by, comment, heart emoji - it truly matters!

Oh and a massive thanks to the QWEEN agnesgajewska for teaching me even more ways to care, soothe, release myself. Her course is amazing!

Yoga Classes
Improving wellbeing is more than just a fitness decision, it’s a lifestyle transformation – which takes committed practice to cultivate greater awareness of both the body and mind. A loving approach to creating more harmony and flow on… and off the mat!
All courses and sessions provide excellent opportunities to move your body and harmonise body/mind/breath. What separates our offering apart from most is that we truly encourage an embodiment of the practice & strive to create a holistic approach to wellbeing that is adaptable to everybody. Every body is different and every body is different every day. We offer variations, support or progressions throughout all of our classes so be assured – we always facilitate an opportunity to take it at your own pace!
This is an inclusive and welcoming community that is built on small group, specialised offerings.
If there is a class you would like to see offered – tell us, we design our offerings around… YOU!
What’s ALSO on at MYL…
In addition to the usual public Studio classes we are thrilled to host lots of pop up guest workshops and courses from some of Ireland’s best teachers/facilitators. Some of these are booked directly with the teachers so links are included below (simply copy/paste into your browser!).At a glance, here is what is coming up soon…
individual or small group tailored classes
private yoga sessions
Often confidence is a huge barrier for people when they think about attending a public yoga class. Sometimes a private session or series of oneONone meet ups are all you need to build a strong foundation and spark that curiosity to maintain this transformative practice. Individually tailored, exclusively designed by your choice of teacher – these precious moments in our serene space are the greatest gift of time, that you could ever give yourself.
Alternatively we often have couples, families or groups of friends who want to take some time together, catch up or simply have the space exclusively for their own use. Drop us a line and we can curate the special experience you require/desire! moonsyoga@gmail.com
