A Little About Me
Hi, I'm Rachel.
I live in County Galway and come from a nursing background. I first found yoga in 2018, and what began as a way to move my body soon became so much more: a way to slow down, reconnect and find a little calm in the middle of everyday life.
In 2024, I completed my 200-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training and have since continued my training in restorative yoga, chair yoga, yoga for cancer and yin yoga.
Éalú means escape.
Not escaping life, but stepping away from its busyness for a little while. I hope that every class offers you the chance to reconnect with your breath, your body and yourself, leaving you feeling calmer, more grounded and more rested.
I believe rest and a deeper connection to ourselves aren't something we have to earn;
It's something we all deserve.

Sun Salutation workshop
Sunday, September 27th
10.00am- 12.00pm
Súil Eile Space, Barna
€30
Join me for a 2-hour workshop exploring classical Sun Salutations, Surya Namaskar.
Together, we’ll break down the practice, exploring the postures, breath, transitions and different variations, so you can understand not just how to practise it, but why.
There’ll be plenty of time to move, practise, ask questions and chat, with space to explore how you can adapt the practice to suit your own body.
Most importantly, you’ll leave with a better understanding of Surya Namaskar and a practice you can take home, return to and make your own 🤍
Upcoming events
Thursday Evenings this September
8.00- 9.15 pm
€45 for 4 weeks or €13 drop in
A deeply grounding 75-minute class that blends gentle movement with deeply restful, supported restorative yoga.
Joining from the comfort of your home, hopefully in your PJs. We’ll begin by moving slowly through postures to feel into the body and create space, then soften into stillness with restorative shapes and props.
The class concludes with a guided yoga nidra, a restful meditation designed to settle the body and mind fully.
Recording will be available for the full week after class, so you can come back to it whenever you are in need of some rest.
10.00-11.00 am
5th, 12th and the 26th September

Tried one online class and found it brilliant! Calming and informative. Also your recent email about changing styles and forms of exercise is really helpful! As someone that finds it hard to commit long term to one form of exercise due to work commitments I found this helpful and calming to know I am not alone and not feel like a failure! Definitely want to attend in person class soon
Online class feedback
I love the Saturday morning classes. It's a lovely way to begin the weekend and meet new faces for some chats after class. Everyone who attends is so lovely.
Saturday morning class feedback
I really liked the use of sanskrit in class! The morning session flew by which was so lovely, started the day feeling relaxed and calm.
