What is an Asana Lab?
An asana lab is an immersive space designed for practitioners to deepen their understanding and mastery of yoga postures. It offers a dynamic environment to explore alignment, refine technique, and experiment with pose variations. These labs focus on detailed instruction, anatomy, and breathwork, helping students personalize their practice and unlock new layers of movement. This workshop will focus on understanding the foundations of yoga asanas or postures in a detailed and exploratory way.
Past Workshops
‘Yin-To’ the New Year
Yoga & Journalling Workshop
Saturday 28th December
3pm - 6pm
Carlow Mandala Yoga Studio
€45
This 3hr workshop is perfect for setting yourself up for the New Year and making time to reflect on 2024.
Yin yoga is a slow-paced, quiet and contemplative practice which consists of a series of long-held, passive floor poses. It is designed to improve flexibility, calm the mind and body, and reduce stress, anxiety and physical tension that can be held in the connective tissues. Yin yoga is slower and more meditative, giving you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Since you’re holding poses for a longer period of time than you would in other traditional types of yoga, yin yoga helps you stretch and lengthen those rarely-used tissues, while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort and sit with your thoughts and emotions.
Combining yin yoga with the journalling process elicits calm and helps your mind and body to enter into a relaxed state, therefore helping you to access insights you may not have had otherwise. The first two hours of the workshop will be a yin yoga practice, with the final hour given over to journalling, reflecting on 2024 and setting intentions for 2025.

‘Yin-To’ Samhain
Yin and Yoga Nidra Workshop
Saturday 2nd November
4pm - 6pm
Carlow Mandala Yoga Studio
€30
Samhain is a Gaelic festival that marks the end of the harvest season and the start of Winter, or the darker half of the year. At this time of year, Autumn is turning to Winter and the leaves are falling from the trees; the days are getting shorter and cold, and frosty mornings whisper that winter is on the way. The dark half of the year allows us to pause, rest, and rejuvenate. Yin yoga is quiet and reflective, making it a perfect practice to help make this transition. The first 90 minutes of this workshop will be dedicated to a yin practice, and the last 30 minutes to yoga nidra.

What is yoga nidra?
Yoga nidra, or yogic sleep, is a meditative practice that guides one into complete relaxation. It illicits a state between wakefulness and dreaming, which creates an inner awareness and enables us to connect with the unconscious mind. It allows us to leave the waking state and move into the deep sleep state, yet remain fully awake. Yoga nidra has many benefits, including freeing the mind of unnecessary and negative thoughts, providing the overactive mind with a rest, promoting calmness, and relieving stress, along with the physical benefits of relaxing the muscles in the body.

My Yoga Story
I remember my first yoga class, filled with the fear and anticipation that comes with walking into a room of strangers, not knowing what to expect. My experience was anything but, and I was hooked from that first class. I attended religiously every week, before going on to my 200hr training, and then two 30hr trainings to specialize in and learn about the magic of yin yoga. I truly believe that in order to grow and develop, there is nothing more effective than pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone, and opening our arms to the endless possibilities that life has to offer. My teacher training opened me up to a new community and a passion for teaching and holding space for others that I didn't even realize was there, hiding beneath the surface. I grew to love movement, when previously it had become a chore. Yoga is now my peace that can weather any storm and has become a constant in my life that will always be there to support me. It helped me connect with my own mind, body and inner self in a way that no other form of movement allowed. This element of connection now greatly informs my career as a Nutritionist and within that, helping people to become healthier, happier versions of themselves.
My classes emphasize feeling over thinking, function over aesthetics and are dynamic in nature, while instilling a sense of balance, calm, strength and relaxation. I’ve been teaching since 2018 and strive to provide an experience for every student, in every class.
I am also available for private yoga classes, either individually, or in groups and corporate classes.

My first experience of yoga with Niamh was some years ago to deal with some of the aches and stresses of a hectic lifestyle. My only regret was that I hadn’t started sooner. Niamh creates an environment which is at once calm and relaxing yet appropriately challenging for everyone involved, whatever their particular needs.
