"By coming to Yoga you create space. Space to Breathe Deep, Space to Explore and Move your Body, Space to Calm and Relax your mind. Space to connect with yourself" - Yoga flow with Helena
Helena teaches Yoga Flow. As you inhale and exhale there is a natural flow to your breath and in my classes you will explore moving your body to the rhythm of your own breaths beat.
​
As you explore you will build on your current strength & flexibility as you work to open and create space in your body and calmness and peace in your mind using your own breath as a tool to link the mind and the body.
Just like people enjoy different paces of life they also enjoy different paces of flows and so I offer a variation from a Gentle-Flow to Mid-Flow and Power flow. If you have never experienced yoga before I recommend the Beginners flow workshop style class, Mid-Flow and Gentle-flow are also great options for beginners. Power-flow the pace increases and it is best to have some yoga experience. I am very happy to answer any of your questions so please get in touch :)

Helena O'Connor - Studio Owner
​
Helena loves nature, the outdoors, animals, travelling/adventures and spending time socialising and hanging out with family and friends and of course Yoga:) Helena practices yoga because Yoga makes her feel good. She feels happier in herself, she feels more focused and her body feels awesome :) At the end of a yoga session she can find herself in moments of bliss as her mind is calm and quite, her body fully worked out & tension free and her heart open and full of love.
Helena qualified as a certified Vinyasa Yoga Teacher in Bali Indonesia in April 2015 on her way home to Ireland after spending 4 years living New Zealand. It was in a yoga Studio in Wellington NZ that Helena found Yoga and she was pretty much immediately hooked on the many benefits that it brought into her (Corporate Highly stressful) lifestyle. Helena was working for one of the largest Revenue companies in NZ as the Executive assistant to the CFO, she loved her job and figured she was dealing with the pressure and stress very well as she always thought she had throughout her career!
Low and behold what Helena did not realise was how much tension she was holding in her body, how much chatter was going on in her mind and how the stress leaked into other areas of her life. Yoga began by helping her physical body release tension, build strength and flexibility and greatly improved her posture. The more she practiced yoga the more doors were unlocked & she began to make positive changes in her life.
From early on in her Yoga practice she knew that someday she would open a Yoga studio.... she wanted to create a calm nurturing space where people could come and find Yoga just like she had & she knew that this place would be at home in Ireland. & so Helena's Yoga Journey continued as she made plans to return home and decided to take a leap of faith & complete her Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) in Bali Indonesia. It was amazing what unfolded as she began her plans home bound the universe slotted everything together so that there was really no other path that she would have or would have wanted to take.
​
YTT - She can not even describe how to begin to explain the wonderful, crazy, heart opening, intense, intimate, eye-opening, fun, exhilarating, exhausting, mind blowing, educational experience with beautiful souls from all over the world.
Helena arrived home and felt lost, lost on her path, lost on her journey, lost in her connection with herself. EVERYTHING had changed. Her life literally turned upside down as she found herself back in Cork, a city so familiar but struggled to feel a connection with. Helena dug deep and took long deep breaths and put faith in the path she had chosen.
Following her instincts and gut feelings Helena took another leap of faith & put her dream into action as she stepped into the Unknown once more.
In September 2015 Helena open her own Yoga studio in her Bishopstown community just like she dreamed in Savasana many years ago in NZ.
Yoga le Grá was born which means Yoga with Love
Though at times her journey has been very challenging Helena has taken it step by step sometimes taking giant leaps and other times easing herself into it slowly, a combination of both has served her well. Loving Cork again and has a profound deeper connection with Ireland than before she left.
Helena Loves to teach Yoga and feels like she has created the space for people to come and find Yoga and if it is their time maybe they will also experience some of the amazing benefits Yoga can bring into someones life.
Yoga with love, Helena xx
