Because after 8 years running my beautiful Studio. An announcement post last weekend doesn't really cut it!.
Ultimately I'm living it all, the yoga, the inner listening, the coaching and pushing myself out of my comfort zone...Because we all know the best things are never discovered there ✌🏼
It's unusual and a privilege to move from a place of power, of profit, of positivity... to make a change because you simply feel it's right. But I've always said - embodiment is the most important part of teaching.
So much more to say and so many thank yous too. But for now, some thoughts from my heart to yours. Sx

Devotional acts can be powerful conduites for energy, shift, release. Perhaps this evening find a quiet moment to think about the season that has passed, the year that was. What you have gained, learned and what you are ready to leave behind. Hand on heart and belly and few breaths is all that is needed sometimes.
As the sun sets and the darkness draws near,
I honour the turning of the year.
The harvest is gathered, the fields lie still,
The earth rests beneath the winter's chill.
I welcome the wisdom of what has been,
And make peace with all that lies unseen.

Your daily practice isn't MORE on your to do list.
It's LESS.
And in its less-ness, it ironically provides you so much more than all the things your grabbing at (to try and soothe your soul).
Refame you time as a rebellious act. Just do it, do less for a few minutes a day and then.........very importantly - act, create action, create and design a life aligned to the person you find!

Are you over optimisation?!
Nowadays we have such high levels of disordered living... in disguise as "#wellness". No you're not 'healthy' Karen, you need to define what that word means to you - before you can even begin to begin.
Obsessive movement, sleep, diet tracking... in pursuit of well. If blue zones have shown us anything it's simply living to our optimum rather than optimisation.
What does that mean???
Ditch the watch or ring that gives you anxiety about how your sleep went. Track your own score, how do you actually FEEL?! What do you need.
Spend time actively turning away from the noise and marketing that is basically different versions of SHOULD. Hello daily act of rebellion - meditation.
Start honouring your own body/energetic cues about what you want to eat, how you want to move, who you want to see. And lean into bringing, LIFE DESIGNING that into life! Intuitive living at it's finest.
What I try to bring to the world is suggestion, question, hoping it might spark some curiosity within as to how you are living this one precious life!
Also - everything in moderation, even moderation.

Another wee update ❤️
As sophie.mallenmovement slides in and sineadmooney slides out, some of the much loved regular classes and treatments will remain!
Sophie is remaining in Dun Laoghaire until the xmas break to ensure a smooth slide into the new location as we begin the new year! Business as usual, then an exciting shift to a new Studio up the road.
Sinéad's bursting with big plans but, in the immediate....Life Design Coaching will remain the same; online/in person options with her 2027 teacher trainings, courses, workshop locations released soon. The Quiet Club runs til xmas at The Loft.
The Loft's regular classes, incredibly beautiful teachers/healers and weekly ttreatment offerings - are all continuing as is.
So a big change but....some things actually won't change much at all! Your favourite classes and people will remain rocking.
Still so much to say but just to clarify a little more. Happy Bank Hol!! Sinéad & Sophie x

A few lines of text will never do this justice. All will be navigated with care, transparency and the excitement it deserves!.....
After 8 years I'm feeling the call to create, to expand, to serve more from a more potent centre point without distraction/dilution (aka...as much admin!).
Divine timing and some beautiful synchronicity brought the alignment of...... my intuitive whispers to cross paths with beautiful Sophie's season of shift. Click.
moonsyogaloft will become thebarre.ie 01/27
It's a gift to move from a place of power, a business thriving and a business owner deciding she's simply out stayed her welcome in the comfort zone. I wouldn't be a Coach or Yogi if I just stayed there. Exciting new chapters are itching to be written..
Sophie is going to bring her wonderful fresh energy, amazing team and lots of the much loved current classes will also stay home at the space. But it's her time now and I couldn't be more thrilled to navigate business evolutions in such a supportive, strong yet feminine way. It can be done!
As I said, this requires so much more than a singular post but no time like the present, under the radical energy of my sign, a Taurean full moon. Here's to big beautiful new beginnings!!!!
More to come x

That Kali energy has been permeating so many aspects of my life with big and small changes presenting themselves with divine timing...as I design a life I love!
Also the coach in me is also always pushing myself/my clients out of their comfort zones in favour of growth. Even if it feels like your being pulled apart and put back together in the process.
It's sometimes hard to share change from the container of where it's been percolating. But it's coming....all will be revealed in the coming days.
(And yes I'm being an annoyingly cryptic cow but I actually can't say just yet, but soon, soon......).
Also, yes I have wrinkles around my eyes when I squint - I have a face that moves & enjoys big expression ...shocking on this platform haha!

Let's go!
Why am I embracing big Kali energy in this new chapter...? Well, I'll explain a little about her below and would love to know if anyone else is feeling the 'zero f*#ks' energy burning particularly bright of late?!
I don't know if it's age, the state of the world or, simply reaching a season which allows for a little more space (and I bloody well want to fill it with the most impactful work). But there is change in the air.....and I'm ready for some new potential filled fertile ground....!
Kali is a badass goddess of time, death, destruction, and cosmic energy.
She represents the fierce, untamed power of nature. But despite her terrifying appearance as a destroyer, she is widely revered as a deeply compassionate divine mother who grants ultimate liberation (moksha) from fear.
Let's just say, she destroys on purpose.
She dismantles in favour of a better build.
Clears the ground to allow fresh shoots to grow!
Anyone else ready to shake things up with me?!?!

On Thursday I went to my first seanchoiche night and when I say it was EXACTLY where I was meant to be, at this point of my life, on this spinning blue/green planet - I am not exaggerating.
You see, it was a collaboration with monzo and a founder special event. Lessons... was the theme and what unfolded was a night of incredible honesty, inspiration and humanity.
It can often feel so lonely working for yourself, hustling a business mostly leading in rooms rather than being held in them. So to bathe in stories that me feel so seen and understood, was a magic elixir.
I was fangirling mostly over my girl Caryna camerinobakery who managed to evoke both tears and laughter from all!! But all of the speakers were truly incredible humans who, although totally different, spoke to the same human challenges that weave through all founder led businesses.
GRMMA one and all and especially _gaff__ who has created something that feels like coming home. Storytelling is in our bones, so it feels like a natural remedy to the symptoms that come from living in an increasingly technological, siloed world.
Thank you so much nadiapower_

If you are human in need of help, find a human.
Find a human, be helped, and help, a human.
Humanity can't outsource our human suffering to a difference species. Ai God's, I'm not saying there isn't immense advancement that can be utilised but when it comes to the very unique inner workings of the human body, mind, spirit...humans are best at helping humans.
This isn't a personal pitch for my work, this is me in my tiny pocket of the world reminding whoever sees this that the quickest answer isn't always the right answer.
And to find your people, support network, find your accessible local qualified humans IRL - when you need help with a human problem.

I have had two very different, very strong reactions to this, different intereptations/ perspectives.
Will share later in the comments but would love to know how this lands for you....?
There is no 'wrong' answer!!!!
What does it mean?
How does it feel?
What does it teach us?
Follow for more queries that make you ponder.
On a platform that rewards quick dopamine hits, I want to offer some suggestion...some playful questions for consideration!

Clarity.
Because if you don't have it, then what is the point?
Of the striving, the hustle, the juggling, the on paper 'winning'.
The first thing I do with any coaching client, is guide them to clarity & deisgn a framework, to ensure they maintain clarity ongoing. You change, life changes, what is important changes.
WHAT IS IMPORTANT YO YOU?
You beautifully individual human.
The definition of rich is changing.
Luxury has new definitions.

Have you ever felt like you weren't correctly calibrated for the life you are living?
Each season requires awareness & action to readjust accordingly. Otherwise unease, overwhelm, resistance ensues.
I think I have only recently recalibrated to being in my mothering season of life. Years of sticky juggle but now, less. Less for more. And less for more...to come....
Realising that sweet simple Sundays not only serve to set me up (in every way) but they also ripple through the house giving big ' best foot forward' energy to everyone. Thanks to littleloucooks for making me feel like a domestic goddess these rolls are so easy and yet so impressive!! Even me- proof recipe on her page.
Here's to a - being where we are week, a - do the best you can week. Mx

You are a human, the correct response is rage, disillusionment, fear, sorrow. Let your humanity burn bright when you read the news.
Mind yourself, but don't stifle that appropriate response, give it space to roar.
And embrace, enhance, amplify, enjoy, celebrate what is good. It's OK, our hearts are big enough to feel it all. We are living in a time of intense darkness and blinding light so allow yourself time to adapt to coexisting/thriving in it all. The planet has never needed our humanity more, care for it, give it space to breath.

I am no oil painting and have many years of not caring for my skin, under my belt. I've wrinkles, sun damage and hydration is always an issue. I'm just your average Annie, but....who doesn't love a little skin journey!
So this is me, no filter (obviously), showing my progress after just 1 (of 3!!!) BBL sessions with thefiloclinic
Maybe I'm delusional but I think the impact after one session is incredible!
BG: I am an exhausted 41yr old Momma/Business Owner who wears many hats and has only really started looking after her skin in the last few years.
I've never had B-tox, Filler or any of that jazz but I am in an era where I want to regenerate, heal and care for my skin.
Our skin is our largest organ and although I don't want to look 20, I want to feel fresh and confident enough to be barefaced most days. SIMPLE. Maybe even to show 20yr olds that there are different ways of growing old embracing the skin you're in.
FYI : There is no pressure on me to share this particular reel and although I was gifted this overarching skin renew journey with the gorgeous expert humans in Filo, I am deciding to shout this from the rooftop on it's merit. To show even 1x sessions impact!
Snapshot: It's not a crazy investment compared to other things on the market. It clearly yields huge results. And for my fellow millenial Moms who don't want to go down the invasive route but want to approach your skin from more of a regenerative perspective - this is for you. They also use incredible technology to map your face from even the consultation stage.
This is too good not to share. Any q's just shout x

Anyone else down to their last thread of September santity....??? The reactions, the elevated response, we are all guilty of it, myself included. It sucks for everyone.
Because ironically, we are not only harming those around us, but we are also creating unfavourable conditions in our own bodies and minds. And let's not start on the guilt aftermath.
But how to choose better.........? A breath can give us a pause. A large inhale/exhale is sometimes all the time we need, to choose differently.
Viktor Frankl - "Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom"
THIS VIDEO ✌🏼 is utilising the intention widget on the wonderful insighttimer app. I recommend this to all my Meditation students (for the timer function but I and many others have free meditations on there too!) One of them mentioned you can now add this amazing intention reminder to your phone home screen. SUCH a wonderful way to remind yourself throughout the day. I certainly use it!

My life's work and MY life...is to artfully, gracefully, hold both gently as I navigate this lived experience. How? (Apart from dancing in the rain). Awareness, acceptance, release, percolaton, devotion, study and service.
A messy September of both, some beautiful client sessions and trainings, a crew in Croatia as we speak and so much family living/lifing, that exists offline. A
I will probably get punished for this haha...by the interweb gods (as well as my inconsistent posting) so if you see this, give it some love if you agree! Hearts, saves, shares - we love to see it all.
Grá Mór........and don't stop loving this beautiful big magical messy ball of mayhem that we are lucky to call home. Take care of your back yard well and honour the sacredness of life in all the ways! Mxxx

Really basic plain obviousness...that we often overlook.
When we perceive how we feel and how we want to feel....... it opens up a world of choice we don't usual see as we battle head down through this life.
Choice is power x

Part One:
What we all need more of...
some ponderings for your consideration.
Part Two...
Will be - how we will get it/ make it happen!
Nothing ground breaking but in a world of overwhelm and disillusionment, these transformative basics are being forgotten.
My suggestions are just that.....for you to think about because YOUR life is the one you want to make better. We can peruse the interwebs perceiving others, we can listen to what everyone else says, does, influences...but it's your short precious life that is the most important to take 5 to think about my ponderings in relation to your beautiful self x

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
