About Tricia
Tricia fell in love with Satyananda yoga about eighteen years ago, she sampled many different types Ashtanga, Bikram and Vinyasa before embarking on a Teacher training course that entailed living in an Ashram in Orleans outside Paris for a month. The course included daily chanting and meditation sessions. The benefits of living for a month in this type of yoga environment were invaluable and the peace of mind experienced, indescribable. When Tricia initially qualified as a Yoga teacher she taught yoga classes in the Temple Gate Hotel Ennis for two years.
Before having a young family of five kids Tricia played golf at the highest amateur level, representing Ireland and Great Britain & Ireland for many years. As part of her warm up routine before competing Tricia practised yoga. Drawing on her vast experience in the sporting environment Tricia feels that yoga provides huge benefits enabling competitors to relax, find peace of mind and sharpness that ultimately leads to peak performance. This concept of “peak performance in sport” has always interested Tricia, she is constantly observing top performers to discover the secrets that lead to their success.
I am very passionate about my Retreats Days. I have been running them for the last 4 years and they are always amazing. The Day is all about connections, connecting to yourself, connecting to others and to the beautiful nature around us here along the Wild Atlantic Way. My aim is for you to get to know yourself better, tap into your full potential and equip you with tools to enable your journey through life to flow a little easier. My aim is to awaken the seeds of potential in you and discover any obstacles that may be holding you back. I hold a safe space where people are encouraged to be themselves. The group bond by the end of the day is powerful. Individuals get an opportunity to experience a deep sense of relaxation. We finish the day with a stunning sound bath and a session in the outdoor spa area. Retreats are intimate, group numbers are limited.
