Reconnect to your True Nature Weekend

Orla teaches a playful, joyful yoga she calls Reconnect to Your True Nature Yoga.

Her classes include flowing sequences coordinated with the breath, classical postures, restorative yoga and mindfulness meditation.

This is a lovely retreat to reconnect with yourself and with Nature, with guided outings into the Burren hills and by the sea.

Orla shares themes from the chakras, with an emphasis on learning from Nature and seeing how we are all part of the natural world… and of each other.

Rather than pushing the body into shapes, she encourages each person to explore their own sensations and feelings.

This helps you develop a deeper trust in your body and in your own practice.

Orla has been teaching for 20 years and offers stronger and gentler variations, so each person can practise at the level that is right for them.

Suitable for complete beginners through to experienced practitioners.

Orla's training and background

Orla Wallace lives in Belfast and has been teaching yoga for 20 years. She began teaching in Prague in 2006, after completing her teacher training with Monica Angelucci, founder of Prague Yoga.

Orla discovered yoga soon after moving to Prague. In that very first class she felt calm for the first time in her life. She came back the next day, and the next, and yoga became her everyday medicine.

She has studied traditional yoga with Acharya Venkatesh at Atma Vikasa in Mysore, India, the chakra system with Anodea Judith, and Scaravelli-inspired yoga with Paddy McGrath. For the past 11 years her main teacher has been Angela Farmer.

Meditation has always been at the heart of Orla’s practice. She has studied in the Zen and Theravada Buddhist traditions and teaches mindfulness meditation. Our inner awareness is cultivated in the morning and evening meditation practice.

Orla has taught thousands of classes, from Prague and Seville to Stranmillis University College, Queen’s University Belfast and community groups across Belfast.

In her classes she encourages each person to explore their own sensations and feelings, rather than pushing the body into shapes. She believes every student should be seen, heard and included.

Breath awareness is woven through every class, with pranayama taught in a gentle, non-straining way.

Her classes are playful and joyful, with themes from the chakras and from Nature.
