Ever since my little girl has started school and we've needed to be places at a certain time... layering that with after school activities again starting at a designated time... I felt the RUSH creep in.
It started out with a little hurry up, come on now, let's get going, and deepened into we have to be there go faster. Doing everything like it's an emergency!
This has bled into all other parts of the day creating a baseline of urgency that has had me a little off kilter for quite some time.
I recently saw something that said stop doing things like you're in an emergency and it hit so hard, so deep down to my Core and since then has changed how I operate in my day-to-day.
What did I do to remedy? Well, acknowledging it always first, awareness (hello daily self connection!). It's amazing what happens when you hang out with yourself! And then it was Life Designing the areas where I could help support ... slow. Tiny transformations, asking for help, editing the diary, Breath breaks, talking about it with my little life team (family!).
So as always I'm just sharing with you in case it hits home in case it's sparks a response in your body or mind. I would love to know if/how it lands? because it's been a huge gift for me to accept and do something about!!!

Flow. Ease. Comfort. Knowledge...
All these sensations and feelings that simply reside beneath the surface level thinking, waiting to be found.
Often the search for many of these desirable states of living can be discovered with less. Less noise, less external - more sinking inwards to feel the reassuring richness of the universal energy that we all belong to.
Flipping the perspective internally as opposed to the tantalising ever luring external. Meditate. Be still.
The best part, you don't need to take my word for it. Simply hang out with yourself every day and see how it FEELS. See how it flows...See how life flows in your every day. Meditation is about making all the moments outside Meditation...better

Meditation Teacher Training - Learn to Lead.
I have to confess...I've been pretty terrible at the marketing side of things lately!
In our modern world many of us now have to wear 50 hats. HR, Marketing, Facilities Manager, Accountant, Designer oh and then...Teacher/Trainer.
But when I'm really passionate about something, that precious thing becomes my sole focus. So... apologies for not sharing much yet about this gorgeous Meditation Course that I've been curating - (a symptom of Meditating too much is being wonderfully rebellious with your focus haha..). The Work is always the most important, the layering of information, the planning of time, the pedagogy and reverse engineering from how I want people to feel leaving the Course. Embodied, reminded, empowered and motivated! But sharing is also important tooo...
Meditation Teacher Training - Learn to Lead.
This 40hr Accredited Course starts in a couple of weeks. It offers two deliciously restful and inspiring weekends lounging in The Loft. And to say I'm proud and excited is an understatement. It's also just the beginning...
3x Spots left, the assembled group are already just magic!! And because the How's & Why's are hard to put into limited lexicons - just pop me a message for all the info.

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.
#yogi #quoteofthedáy #yogainthewild #yogateacher #discoverireland
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!!
#yogateacher #meditationteacher #wellbeingstudio #community #wellbeing
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!
#LIFECOACH #YOGA #MEDITATION #INTENTIONS #NEWYEARVIBES
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
#personaldevelopment #lifecoach #livingyoga #svyadyaya #transformation #intention #change #meditation #meditationteacher #change #reset #empowerment
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.
This was a hit in May but I think it'll be even sweeter as an end of year reset! Can't wait! Saturday Nov 15th 9-1.30pm
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.
Where Stillness meets Strategy.

Because............FUN!
These remind me of fact file funtimes at the back of our school journals. If you are too young to remember this 😆 ... scroll on!
Who I am. What I am about. An ever evolving, modern Teacher and eternal Student of ancient wisdom traditions and modern coaching techniques.
Be still, on purpose. Live, on purpose.

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

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
