A bit about me…
Hi, I’m Sinead!
Irish, born in England and grew up in the lovely Cambridgeshire countryside. I lived in London for ten years, and am now settling into the wonderful Chesham.
When I’m not practicing yoga, I love walking, travelling, spending time with friends and family, and relaxing.
Having worked in the TV industry for most of my life, the hectic and busy work can sometimes feel overwhelming. Yoga has always kept me centred and calm amongst the chaos!
In all honesty, I never thought about becoming a yoga teacher. After a year of uncertainty with my work and mental health struggles, I decided to take back control of my situation and think about my love and passions. I had been practicing yoga almost daily by this point, so I thought – why not learn to teach it? I absolutely loved my training journey with Yogahaven, I met some incredible people and learnt so much from the brilliant mentors.
I can’t quite believe that I get to share this wonderful practice with others and build on my passion and skills as a yoga teacher…hopefully for many years to come!
My yoga journey…
My Mum introduced me to yoga. At the age of about 16, she bought me along to her local class, as she thought I would enjoy it.
I think it’s safe to say that I definitely enjoyed it! It was an Ashtanga class, which is heavily focused on the breath in movement, and sometimes holding postures longer than in Vinyasa.
I remember feeling very content and in my element. The teacher was so welcoming and passionate. To this day, I always remember how amazing I felt during the relaxation (Savasana) part of the class, involving blankets, essential oils and massage! Pure bliss!
I have always been active and sporty from a young age, but yoga offered me something different, for my mind and body.
As years went by, whether I was working, at university or travelling, yoga was something I always found myself coming back to. It was starting to become a safe haven for me, a home.
