Orla began attending Lyengar and Hatha Yoga classes in the late 90s. When she moved to Wicklow, she became a regular student of Liz Richards, founder of Ananta Yoga Studios. She soon discovered the physical benefits of the practice, feeling stronger, with greatly improved energy and flexibility and an overall sense of calm and positivity.
In 2013 she began a 200 hour Teacher Training Programme with David Curtis, qualifying in 2016. She found this challenging yet very rewarding. She is currently attending David’s Advanced Practitioners Course. She has been teaching Vinyasa Flow Yoga at Ananta Yoga Studios since 2017.
Orla has attended workshops and courses with senior teachers, Stephen Brandon, James Higgins, Brian Siddhartha Ingle, Natasha Nandini and in 2018 she attended an intensive Vinyasa Krama programme with Sri Srivatsa Ramaswami.
Orla is very grateful to Liz and David for their continued guidance and support.
In her spare time she loves to spend time with her family and her growing brood of rescue dogs! (5 at last count)
