Louise Yoga

Louise’s weekly Backcare Yoga class is literally, a moving experience for me. With all my activities Yoga, Golf, hiking, table tennis, swimming etc, it is the one thing I do regularly, that keeps me upright and moving without pain and out of the chiropractor’s clinic. And as a lady of 55 years plus, staying active is absolutely critical to me, for both my physical and mental health.

I have a tendency for SI (sacro iliac) joint problems in the lower back, which if not kept in check, develops into sciatia, which is very painful and debilitating, and stops me doing the things I like to do. Having followed Louise’s Back Care class for several years now, I really notice the difference if I do not follow her classes regularly and I follow her recordings if I get twinges in-between classes.

Louise is an excellent tutor and yoga teacher, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She very knowledgable, patient and thorough, specifically in the use of this knowledge for creating varied routines which address each student’s different physical challenges and specific situations. If you have any twinges anywhere in your back, neck, shoulders etc give her class a go….your body will love you for it!!

Louise is an amazing yoga teacher who I have been attending for many years. She goes above and beyond in her care for us students and makes sure we always have a safe practice. In her classes we learn about the benefits of the individual postures as well as the philosophy of yoga which gives us a better understanding of what we are doing and why. No two classes are the same and there is always something new to learn so I have found my own practice and understanding has developed and deepened over the years.

My dad who is in his sixties has also been going to Louise’s yoga classes. He has Parkinson’s and goes to Louise’s chair yoga classes, and this has been of huge benefit to him. He always feels great after as it frees up the blockages in his body and calms his mind which ease the symptoms of Parkinson’s. He is the only male in this class, and he has never felt out of place or awkward. He likes all the female attention!! I honestly cannot recommend Louise enough as a teacher. She is extremely knowledgeable and is passionate about sharing this knowledge with all of us students. I feel so lucky to have found her!

"I had taken yoga classes in Dublin for a number of years before moving south. I was delighted to find Louise soon after moving and she has been my teacher for the past number of years.

I really enjoy her calm yet thorough approach. Each pose is introduced in stages, allowing you to stay with the class or push yourself a bit further as you become more confident. Louise makes a point of getting to know her students so she can constantly tailor each portion of the class to everyone, warning people if their knees or backs need to be protected etc.

She cares deeply about her students' progress and understands how "real life" can intrude upon or interrupt this. She goes above and beyond to help you maintain your practice at whatever pace is manageable. The atmosphere in her classes is always warm, welcoming, and understanding. She is a real proponent of authentic and genuine yoga, and I'm so glad to have found her."

After fracturing my shoulder in 2019 I had considerable weakness and lack of mobility therein and I thought Yoga might help. Thankfully, I found Louise - the classes I attend are designed to maintain flexibility throughout the body and strengthen my core. A side benefit is my asthma - I have not had to use my inhaler since I joined these classes and I boot up the Wicklow Hills again. Thanks for all your support.

I am really enjoying your Yoga classes, thank you, Louise - Hazel

Thank you very much for today's lesson 10.

I have to say it wasn't my favourite lesson, tough on some muscle!!

You are a star 🌟 Louise – Pauline

Lovely lesson today. Thank you very much for all you have done during this difficult time. Chair yoga has helped me enormously get through good and not so good days.

Thank you for the recording. I am delighted to get it. Chair yoga has helped me get through the last six months. I am so grateful that you have done the recordings. Thanks again Louise you have been brilliant. -Pauline
