Carmel Cronin
Vinyasa and Yin yoga weekend
You will feel Carmel’s warmth when you meet her, and her humour and gentle encouragement will guide you during the classes.
Carmel uses meditation, breath and movement to experience the flow of vital energy. Her classes are focused on the simple breath & movement focus to allow the body to open and experience the flow of vital energy.
She includes softer gentle movements and for those who are more experienced she will give stronger flowing postures.
Carmel also has a love for Tai Chi, and she studied Fluid Power – The Vinyasa wave with Shiva Rea to create unique and novel vinyasa sequences.
She has been teaching over 20 years and will give very clear instructions for beginners, and also deeper guidance for more advanced practitioners.
Her deep knowledge and interest in Anatomy & Physiology , combined with a yoga therapy qualification ensure that individualised modifications and sound use of props take place for each student.
Her Yin Yoga classes are a wonderful way to access the breath as well as integrating the Buddhist principle of Dharma and the liberating tools of awareness.
