Reviews

Carolyn came to Healing Yoga One-to-Ones to treat a crush fracture, tightness in the hips and adductors, particularly on one side. After 4 sessions she was feeling much better. She later joined the Beginners Yoga classes using modifications learnt in her Private Yoga  sessions. After 2 Beginners Yoga courses with Eimear her physio told her she no longer had a crush fracture. She suggested that with her teacher’s guidance it would be safe to bring more flexion into the spine and follow the standard sequence in class.

“I really value Eimear’s one-to-one and group yoga classes. My physical and emotional health have greatly improved; my back (and overall body) feels much stronger and her beautiful approach always leave me feeling calm and refreshed. Eimear’s clear knowledge and lovely demeanor make her a very special instructor and I can’t recommend her more highly…”

Toni came to me to treat Endomyosis, vertebra degeneration and work related stress and busy-ness. As well as physical practice with suitably modified Asanas (poses) to bring back health, we made the breath a large focus. With meditation and engagement with the breath during practice we managed to calm and relax the body and mind. Visualisation and Yoga Nidra were very effective for Toni.

“I started seeing Eimear for 1: 1 yoga just over a month ago due to pelvic pain from Endomyosis. The pain was so debilitating that I was considering a Hysterectomy. After 4 sessions I am almost pain free. Very happy with Eimear’s instructions and I also enjoy the relaxation aspect of the yoga”

Rachel was suffering from Adrenaline fatigue. I advised restorative Yoga practices (while making adjustments to avoid neck pain, which had been an issue for her). We practiced “passive” poses using blankets and props for the body. These poses delivered the full health benefits of physical poses without strain on the body.

“Eimear is a wonderful, very insightful, and competent yoga instructor. She is very careful to make sure you are performing the postures correctly and are comfortable. She is kind, caring, and very generous with her time.  I highly recommend her!”

Liz was one of my first Private Yoga students in Adelaide. In her 60s she had not practiced Yoga for some years. She had a good deal of previous Yoga experience. She was looking for a gentle practice with modifications to care for and bring her hip back to strength. The meditative benefits of the practice were extremely important for her. She greatly enjoyed the outdoor sessions reconnecting with nature.

“Eimear is a wonderful instructor. She is an inspiring practitioner and a supportive teacher. She has unlimited patience and happily repeats instruction time and time again! She clearly embraces the philosophy of yoga and incorporates this into all poses. I would and have recommended her to anyone, at any level.”
