About The Teacher
Yoga for Strength and Resilience
Strength is not just for gym-bunnies, and anyone can get stronger! The benefits of strength are well researched and known to help with energy, mood, anxiety, nervous system regulation, brain health, heart health and digestion.
In this retreat you will be guided expertly to enhance your strength at whatever level you are at right now. Niamh’s teaching has been described as “strength by stealth”! This is possible as Niamh guides you to find that perfect level of effort that makes demand on your strength… without over-straining.
Alongside traditional Yoga practices, Niamh adds resistance bands to help you enhance your usual Yoga or exercise habits. You’ll find this is actually a lot of fun, and not a boot-camp situation!
Fear not… REST is when the effort you have made creates the building of muscle to ready you for the next demands. So you will also enjoy the deep ease of Somatic Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra and Meditation.
Niamh is an internationally renowned yoga teacher and trainer who specialises in using Yoga to enhance our health and wellbeing through the stages of our lives. You will be in safe hands.
This is a retreat for you if:
You are in your 20s and 30s, when building strength can help you meet the major and minor life changes and challenges coming your way.
You are in your 40s and 50s, when strength can help with the physical, mental and emotional challenges as our bodies change, and are in a high-pressure time of life.
You are in your 60s and beyond, when strength can help you reduce risks to the health of your heart, bones and brain, and keep you feeling confident and capable to do the things you love.
