Such an amazing workshop yesterday @dungarvanyoga

Such an amazing workshop yesterday @dungarvanyoga Yoga!
Salute the Beat is a class/workshop I’ve been developing for YEARS and years, its taken me many many repetitions of breaths and beats in hands and feet to offer this workshop. It was so heartwarming to see all the bodies syncing in rhythm with the beat and the breath and the movements. Storm Denis came and went while we sonically and somatically channeled in and churned up our inner sunshine fire.
I have rarely felt so free and expansive after teaching a workshop. What a wonderful morning. The fast paced salutes clean and clear the mind and nervous system as we allow the breath of spirit (and house music!) to move us. It takes time to learn the sequence AND synchronise the breath with each movement so today we did a lot of ‘drills’ with the beat. Flowing with the stepping back and stepping forward from our lunges and some time moving from plank to down dog updog and back, all in rhythm with an 8, then 4, then 2 count of the beat.
We finished the workshop with a flow of the traditional sun salutes, in the same slow to fast rhythm sequences and ended with a brief ‘savasana’ on the feet. Sometimes its just so nice to get up and go after a class, having expanded and released and attuned and balanced our minds and bodies synchronistically for almost 2 hours, and use that energy to flow more Sunshine into our day and along the way.
Thank you all who shared the practice with me today. I had such a proud moment watching everyone synch so in tune with each other and the beat and the breath..
Very much looking forward to starting 7 weeks of Yogasonics in March.. please DM me if you’re interested I’ll send you on the flyer.
I’m also integrating an online call in this course, with meditation visualisation and breathwork to support each part of our ‘biocomputer’ as we attune to our bio wifi!
info/link to the course in bio. Just 10 places!
For those in Waterford City interested in the Salute the Beat practice, I’m teaching tonight night Monday @ 5:30 and Tuesday morning at 10:30 for 75 mins at Waterford Hatha Yoga Shala in. DM or text me to book.

Waterfordians! #waterford
I’m facilitating my annual Vision Board day retreat next Saturday @thecollectivewaterford
The Vision Board process steers our life force into a clear felt sense of what it feels like to have created the dream, already! Feeling the future is what creates it, what brings us towards it more than just intellectual decision making and behaviour changes. Our hearts longing is what eventually wins, the life we have created currently is largely a reflection of what we’ve emotionally aligned with. We must make sure we’re inspired to create, to move forward, to keep making efforts.
The practices I’ve created for this day have been developed over many years of personal practice, personal ‘visioning’ and 12 years of running Vision Board Workshops .
This day is an offering to our vision for a brighter future by laying down foundations in the present through practices which engage body heart mind and spirit into an intentional force for change in our own lives.
I’ve ‘upgraded’ the offering each year. The Vision Board process allows for an appreciation for all we’ve already created, as a foundation from which to build our future.
The future is created through the causes we make in the present, so join me and take this day to delete old programmes, reset your factory settings and upload some fresh new software for 2020.
A Day to get your House in order, on all levels 🙂
Karla 65 euro (60 early bird prepaid (before 26/1/20) All materials supplied. Bookings with @thecollectivewaterford
As part of/lead into this workshop there will be a free online call on January 28st at 9pm to introduce the workshop and begin to sync ourselves with our intentions through a meditation and visualisation. I’m excited to be working in this new way as I’ve participated in lots of training ‘online’ which has helped me appreciate the power of coming together in our virtual world in a more conscious way. Please email breathewiththebeat@gmail.com to sign up for this call!

Salute the Beat. Saturdays for 4 weeks from 18th

Salute the Beat.

Saturdays for 4 weeks from 18th January 9:30-10:30am @thecollectivewaterford
A class which guides and attunes the rhythm of the breath with the magical movements/asana sequence that is the Sun Salutation.
I’ve been breathing with the beat in my yoga practice and teaching for over 10 years. Sun Salutations with the Beat is how I begin my day and I’ve been amazed at how it syncs so well with music and rhythm and particularly how it attunes my mind and mental world into my body and heart. I often wake up ungrounded and anxious and this practice is so helpful in getting me down deep into the moment. Sun Salutations are wonderful for opening up every part of the body and focusing and stretching our minds and hearts into the body and breath.
I work mainly with the traditional Sun Salute which includes lunges on each side and is gentle on the shoulders.
Beginning with lengthening the breath to the 8 count, long and slow, enabling us to sync into the body more mindfully and slowly, as we regulate the movements with the rhythm and the breath.
After practising half sun salutes and a few arm raises we move from sun salutes to the count of 4 and the count of 2..
I have integrated some holds and strengthening asana to balance and ground our bodies into heartfelt intentions.
This class serves as an introduction to the 8 week programme of Yogasonics, starting in February at the Collective Waterford. #breathewiththebeat #salutethebeat #sunsalutations #waterford #rhythm #breath #beat #iamthecreatorandthisismyhouse #yogasonics #saturdaysalutes

My #vison2020 (full blog post in link in bio x)
I spent the first day of this year as usual with my Buddhist crew, offering gratitude for the year (&decade) past and laying down heartfelt, determined intentions for the year ahead..
Yesterday I received some wonderful bodywork which aided in creating a felt sense of these intentions , and so today I’m really feeling a fresh, new attitude for the coming year. It usually takes me some time into January to really feel the new year once it’s here, and so from that place its so much easier to communicate my intentions and wishes for the year ahead.. I wanted to share a little review of the decade in relation to my Vision for 2020..
At the same time its important to remember it’s still a slow time of year, and tuning into my vision is much more about learning to be fully present in the moment than trying hard to ‘get there’ (wherever there is…??) so that I can connect with my inner wifi (which is currently uploading and upgrading into 2020!)and so not fully anchored into my vision for 2020, just yet!
The pictures attached are of part of 2019 Vision Board which is made of mostly new and some old images from my Boards since 2007.
Over the years I’ve created so many different kinds of boards…; in the Chakra colours, in the shape of a house, a window, an altar, a circle..
Every year they evolve, I evolve In the planning, preparing and the making of them and I learn the most particularly teaching my Vision Board Workshops each January.
I’ve evolved and refined the process and the process and practice of ‘visioning’ into this three part Board representing
Past, present and future..
‘Present effects are due to karmic causes from the past. However, future effects arise from the causes we make in the present. It is always the present that counts. It is what we do in the present moment that decides our future; our past causes do not govern our future as well.
Buddhism emphasizes that no matter what kind of karmic causes we have made in the past, through the causes we make in the present we can achieve a brilliant future.’ Daisaku Ikeda #gratefullyhonouringthepast #groundingloveinthepresent #seeingandfeelingahopefuture

Breathe into 2020! 🌈@thecollectivewaterford 11a

Breathe into 2020! 🌈@thecollectivewaterford 11am-1pm New Years Eve 🌈
90 minutes of resonant rotation of sonic vibrations and sensations into your body mind heart spirt container to release with gratitude and appreciation the obsolete energies of 2019 and invite the light and potential of this new decade we're moving into..
🌈
We breathe with balance, inhaling the new year, exhaling the old to invite the past living still in the present to release its wisdom and mental emotional frequencies into harmony with the energies and visions of 2020.
🌈
A new world is being created right now with our actions and intentions of our bodymindheart system, your particular vibration station of the universe! 🌈
Our bodies are instruments of consciousness and in this practice we will be attuning our frequencies higher with moments of harmony and happiness and release. 🌈
This practice is a ‘tune up’ and tune in of our inner wifi to its core harmonics. The playlist is epic! Some old and new and a few surprises at the end that I hope will inspire you to sing! 🌈
The practice is mainly on the feet allowing all levels and abilities to get involved!
🌈
The last half an hour will be for a short meditation and some intention setting for 2020.
🌈
We are the creators and this is our House!

Breathe with the Beat - Introductory Classes - Mon

Breathe with the Beat - Introductory Classes - Monday 22nd 6:30-8pm pm & Tuesday 22nd 10:30am- 12pm
Breathe with the Beat Workshop Saturday 26th 11am-1:30pm
In Waterford City
The power and challenge in this class is the constant and consistent rhythmic breath with the beat. I encourage you to be aware of each breath, through counting it in rhythm with music, and simultaneously focusing your attention on your body so that you’re moving in rhythm with the beat.
This classes are a 90 minute flow and includes strong yet simple Vinyasa & Asana Sequences to move energy and ground the mind and heart into the moment. This introductory class (and Workshop - we’ll go deeper and explore more poses and practices in the workshop) includes Sun Salutes with the Beat! First for a longer count of 8, then speeding up the movements for 4 and then for 2. This allows us to get a deeper sense of mind moving breath and energy.
The physical practice is about brining the breath, spirit, life force back into teach cell, into the instrument that we are, to remind ourselves to attune again to our own inner song. Tightness in the muscles and joints is just energy thats stuck, so these practices are about shifting the energy that keeps us stuck.
Be prepared to FEEL and awaken your body mind and spirit. This is an asana class, a meditation class and a breath work class all in one. You will be stretched on all levels, and released on all levels.
I’m taking only 7 people in each class so we can synch and go deep together and I have time and space to really be present for everyone.
I’ve refined and refined this work so it’s both challenging and nurturing, deep and light, mindful and playful. Links in bio ✌️ #breathewiththebeat #iamthecreatorandthisismyhouse #repeatandrelease #yoga #waterfordcity #attuneyourinstrument #strongandflexible #pulsewithrhythm

The core of my new course ‘Yogasonics’ and the

The core of my new course ‘Yogasonics’ and the essence of the The House of Yoga is Breathing with the Beat. I used to call the practice The House of Yoga - and for me that still represents the ‘experience’ of my work - that we have a feeling of being at ‘home’ within and without, with ourselves and the wider environment of the ‘house’ we are inhabiting.
I used to just work with House music, which is a huge part of my life, but I felt limited just restricting my work to being themed by House Music, when any music with a 4/4 beat works well for what I do. So now, Breathe with the Beat is the baseline of all of my work and classes, in order to ‘activate’ the balanced regulation of body, mind and heart.
At Electric Picnic this year I played (DJ’ed) as well as taught the class and played a song for each chakra or energy centre. Serious Multitasking! I wanted to use a song that people could sing for the throat chakra. One that I could teach some balance movements of the head and neck to as well.
On Saturday in Jerry Fish’s tent I played Tender by Blur (oh I love love to sing this one loud!) and on Sunday I played Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes (with encouragement of full body air guitar movements at the end - after all the throat is the expression station! )
So breathe with the beat is the backbone of all of all that is The House of Yoga and also the title and foundational first class of 8 in my new Yogasonics Courses and Classes. I wrote a little blog about the essence of this new ‘energy’ as wifi course, link in bio, for those who want to know more.
Still places left for classes This Monday evening 6:30-8pm and Tuesday morning 10:30-12pm in Waterford! breathewiththebeat@gmail.com for more info & Bookings..

I’ve been teaching a long time now, so became a Senior Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance this summer. This means that my workshops are now registered as CPD hours for Yoga Teachers, as are my courses.
A full Yogasonics course is 20 CPD hours for teachers and will begin on November 2nd in Waterford - on Sunday evenings 6-9pm
Contact me breathewiththebeat@gmail.com for the detailed info on this course.. Sharing this testimonlal (absolutely true) - I can’t guarantee this course will increase fertility but I can absolutely guarantee a lot more connection to your base place! ‘ I enrolled for the yogasonics course as I felt I needed a physical and emotional overhaul after 3 unsuccessful years of trying to get pregnant in my 40s. (You name it, I'd tried it!) The first few weeks Karla led us through yoga movement to release tensions in the body and clear the corresponding chakras. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the class. After one of the classes I had a cathartic cry into my dinner, but the next day I felt amazing. Towards the end of the course I discovered I was pregnant! ‘

Breathing is the essence of yoga, of mindfulness,

Breathing is the essence of yoga, of mindfulness, of meditation, and the first step to alleviate anxiety, tension, stress, confusion.. A new study in the Journal of Neurophisology reveals that paced breathing uses neural networks beyond the brain stem that are tied to emotion, attention, and body awareness.
Paced breathing involves consciously inhaling and exhaling according to a set rhythm.
Prior research shows that paced breathing exercises can both focus attention and regulate the nervous system. To date, however, little has been known about how this affects brain function in humans.
The new findings represent a breakthrough because, for years, the brain stem is believed to be responsible for the process of breathing. The new study found that paced breathing also uses neural networks beyond the brain stem that are tied to emotion, attention, and body awareness. By tapping into these networks using the breath, we gain access to a powerful tool for regulating our responses to stress.

Paced, balanced breathing is the essence of all my classes, courses and workshops. I believe by focusing our mental, emotional, physical and breathing attention on each part of the body as we move it, we are awakening a deeper intelligence and awareness in that part of the body, and inevitably creating a clearer more conscious mind body connection.
We are actually both enlivening and regulating ourselves on all levels.
And the movements I use, particularly in the standing class, Breathe with the Beat are simple, so anyone with a body can do them.
Affirmations are also helpful! Pouring positive intention and love (and delicious music) deep into the heart of our ‘house’ is such an effective yet really fun way of integrating this type of breathing into our embodied brain!
