Ríonach has been practising yoga for over twenty-five years and teaches asana, pranayama, meditation classes, and teacher training courses from her studio in Ireland. With a great love for yoga philosophy and the Ashtanga Vinyasa practice, she teaches it in an accessible, adaptive and non-dogmatic way, encouraging each student to develop a self-practice that works for their unique body and stage of life. Her practice has been informed and inspired by her intensive study periods with some of the world’s leading Ashtanga teachers, including Guy Donahaye, Lino Miele, David Swenson and Richard Freeman. Her pranayama and meditation practice has greatly benefited from her studies with Kia Naddermier. However, the practice itself - the daily ritual of getting on the mat, moving with the breath and paying attention to what arises in body and mind - has been her greatest teacher. 

Ríonach loves to share all aspects of the practice with her students so that they see that while there are extraordinary physical benefits to the practice, the real value of yoga is the calm and clarity it brings to the mind.
