As we come towards the end (hopefully) of the Covid19 pandemic I am offering a hybrid teaching of my Movement workshops and classes. I  have in person workshops and zoom 5 Rhythm classes, all details on the calendar of this website

For those of you who would like a little taste of mindful movement I have  a series of mini movement sessions (8/10/12 minute long) made for Connemara Community Radio which I would like to share with you under the Mini Movement Series section.

Stay well,
Caitríona

Let me share this beautiful poem that speaks so well of the essence of my work, to quieten the inner harsh voices that stop us from thriving….

Self-Observation Without Judgment (Danna Faulds)

Release the harsh and pointed inner
voice. it’s just a throwback to the past,
and holds no truth about this moment.

Let go of self-judgment, the old,
learned ways of beating yourself up
for each imagined inadequacy.

Allow the dialogue within the mind
to grow friendlier, and quiet. Shift
out of inner criticism and life
suddenly looks very different.

I can say this only because I make
the choice a hundred times a day to release the voice that refuses to
acknowledge the real me.

What’s needed here isn’t more prodding toward perfection, but
intimacy – seeing clearly, and
embracing what I see.

Love, not judgment, sows the
seeds of tranquility and change.
