Mairead's Background

Mairead believes that balance is very important – the balance between being physically active and eating well but most importantly enjoying life in the modern day world. Yoga and mindfulness help to bring balance and calm to her life.

Yoga has been an important part of Mairead’s life since university when she started attending weekly classes. She enjoys the physical element of the class, improving her flexibility and strength, and the sense of relaxation and peace that the yoga poses, mindfulness and breathing exercises bring.

She volunteered to join the DCU Yoga Society committee and helped to organise classes and run the club. In 2002, she began her training as a yoga instructor to deepen her own knowledge and learn to share it with others, and has continued her learning and teaching since.

Mairead is an ambassador for Yogandha Oils, natural oil blends created to help well-being which are lovely for daily use and for yoga and mindfulness.

Sharon, Workplace Yoga

“We enjoy the classes very much and find Mairead's method and approach very good for us, including the relaxation at the beginning and end, the clear and careful instructions throughout the class, the measured pace of the exercises, the insights into the culture of yoga.”

Walter, Workplace Yoga

“From both a participant of Mairead's classes and someone who worked with Pearl Yoga Ireland to provide a service to DCU staff and students, Mairead is a fantastic person to work with. Mairead is always open, understanding and helps drive things along when we get busy with other college tasks. If it wasn't for this we would not have run such successful courses at DCU! Mairead was also extremely adaptable to every level as well as student and staff needs. The classes were always nourishing and fostered a real sense of community. Thanks Mairead.”

Caroline, Workplace Yoga organiser and participant
