Where the mind and the body meet.
I'm Louise George, a psychotherapist and senior yoga teacher in Douglas, Cork. I work from the 'top down' through talking therapy, and from the 'bottom up' through yoga, breath and movement, because I've learned that most of us need both.
The approach
Two ways in, one aim.
Many of us are moving through life feeling disconnected: from the world around us, from each other, and perhaps most importantly, from ourselves. There is more than one way back to connection. Healing can begin in the mind or in the body, but something powerful happens when the two meet - when what we understand begins to be felt, and what we feel begins to make sense.
Bringing mind, body and nervous system into connection.
Top down
Talking therapy, working with thoughts, feelings and the stories we tell ourselves, from the mind towards the body.
Bottom up
Yoga, breath and movement, settling the nervous system from the body upwards, so change has somewhere to land.

What people say
I've been going to Yoga with Louise for over 5 years and rarely miss a class. Louise is very passionate about her yoga practice and the importance of connecting with your body. Each class is tailored to suit all levels and modifications are available for postures if needed. At the same time Louise's energy and passion inspires us to challenge ourselves.
“My flexibility has increased since starting in Louise's classes and aches & pains have been reduced. Some aches & pains I didn't even realise that I had until they were gone!! Excellent classes, highly recommended.”
“She has improved the quality of my life and my mental health and for that I will be grateful.”
“Louise is a wonderful teacher. Her style is all encompassing. She connects with her students on many levels.”
