Aruna Yoga Clinic

Yoga Therapy is extremely powerful, and when combined with Embodied Yoga, Somatic Exercise, and iRest Yoga Nidra we can further enhance the impact. At the clinic, we use some of the many tools of yoga that can support you with a specific ‘thing’ or at a specific time.

Some examples include injury, preparing for or recovering from surgery, support with sleep, anxiety, stress, and even menopause or grief.

We offer One-to-one classes both online or in-person at the studio. We also have a Medicine on the Mat Series that includes workshops and on-demand online courses.


Rathcoffey is too inconvenient I say to myself, just for a yoga class …..and then I arrive and everything settles.
I forget the beauty of the setting of Aruna studio while away from it…and then I arrive and I remember the peace.
And I wonder at my own foolishness concerns about inconvenience and am thankful for the gift of Aruna Yoga Studio.
The setting is the start of a unique yoga experience.

Our Rural Setting

Looking for somewhere really close, yet off the beaten track,

It all started with a dream of creating a purpose-built yoga studio in a quiet, calm setting where students could practice yoga in a peaceful environment and get away from it all. 12 months after the dream and lots of hard work, I like to think that we have created something special, where students will really feel relaxed and can come and enjoy yoga in a place designed specifically for yoga practice.

The studio is in a rural setting, surrounded by trees and wildlife. In the mornings, you can feel the sun flooding in through the windows and in the evenings, on a crystal clear winter’s evening, you can look out at the stars - all from the comfort of the warm studio.

We love it. We hope you do too.


Our Philosophy

The Dream

Living a healthy, balanced, abundant life and supporting others do the same is my Darma, or my greatest wish. Yoga is the ideal tool to use to achieve this because it works on all levels, physically, mentally and emotionally. So regardless of what brings a person to yoga, they benefit on all levels.

The Yoga

For me yoga should meet you where you are. Regardless of your mental or physical state, if you can breathe you can do yoga. The class should support you reconnect to yourself, so YOU can sense how you are and what you need. You should then be supported to develop tools and techniques to support you and give your body and mind what it requires to feel better and build strength and resilience.

The type of Yoga practiced in the studio is generally Alignment Based, Hatha Yoga. Classes vary in focus, ranging from Energising or Core through to Restorative and meditation. However in all classes, poses and sequences are offered in a graduated manor to allow everyone find the level that suits them on that particular day. Each student is encouraged to make adjustments and to use props to ensure a safe and deep practice.

The Space

Having the privilege of being the caretaker for this beautiful spot in North Kildare, what could be better then to share it by building a studio, where anyone can come and practise yoga, and experience stillness. Located just off the beaten track, yet very close to Maynooth, Clane and Kilcock, (and not too far from Lucan, Leixlip or Sallins) makes it an ideal location.

The Studio was built with love. Other projects in my life have been achieved with will-power, but this one was love. My Dad humoured me and my crazy dream, he and Mark, a wonderful tradesman, worked tirelessly to create a special space. They both learned a lot about yoga in the process! If you want to know more, see ‘Our Studio’ in About Us.

The Teachers

Then came the teachers. For me yoga should firstly be safe, then beneficial and fun. The teachers should be passionate and Inspirational. Well, here another dream comes true every day. Over the years I have had the privilege of meeting and training many inspirational women and men. I am delighted to have a number of them come to teach here.

Not all yoga classes are the same, and not all yoga teachers are the same. We have a wonderful team of Passionate, Highly Qualified Teachers who are Continuously Developing and Learning so they can bring their passion and knowledge to you. Between us, we have close to a century of practice and over 2,000 hours of training.

If you are curious to read more about our teachers and trainers see the ‘Teachers Page’ in About Us.

The Students

And so to you. I am constantly “blown away” by the strength, bravery, determination, resilience & kindness of the men, women, boys and girls who come here to practice yoga. Each one of you brings a unique gift to the class, the teacher and the studio. I am continuously learning and being inspired by you.

Thank you for choosing to practise with us.

I always knew one day I’d be a yoga teacher. Teaching yoga, training & mentoring yoga teachers is my passion.
