South Mall & Ballincollig Studio: Bimonthly Members Masterclass

Our new masterclasses (FREE for members) are an opportunity for regular yoga students of all levels to find depth of practise in particular areas, focuses, themes, and modalities that a regular class may not have the time to afford exploration of. These classes are a great way for students to access more granular insights into specific areas whilst still enjoying the flow of a class. You can think of our masterclasses as a bridge between a regular class and a workshop.

We begin our series of masterclasses with our Ashtanga Half Primary Series masterclass starting January 20th! Led by senior teacher Lisa Fahy, this is unique opportunity for yogis of all levels to delve deep into the traditional indigenous system of Ashtanga yoga.
Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced yogi, these masterclasses are designed to meet you at your current level while encouraging growth and exploration.
