I’m Oonagh, a chef turned yoga teacher living in the Meath countryside. I am a passionate yoga teacher who is committed to helping others connect more to themselves, all while improving their flexibility and building strength. I have always been interested in wellness and taking a holistic approach to my health. In addition to being a qualified yoga teacher, I have a diploma in nutrition and health coaching and a masters in food innovation.

 

My journey with yoga started over 8 years ago as a way to relieve the stress I was feeling in my career. My career in food wasn’t always as I imagined it and at times felt like a struggle. The stress and pressure of working long shifts, unsociable hours and in challenging environments left me lacking from the passion that originally brought me to a career as a chef. I knew I needed a change and started listening to my own needs and putting my health first. I returned to study – graduating with a diploma in nutrition and health coaching and a masters in food innovation. During this time I also focused on deepening my yoga practice and discovered the calmness it brought to my life.

 

Fast forward a few years, I enrolled in the yoga teacher training course with yoga union and packed my bags for Bali. A solo trip that would both challenge and elevate my life more than I could have imagined. All I thought I knew about yoga was questioned and I fell more in love with this ancient practice.
