Why Yoga?

 

Yoga has evolved significantly since its beginning thousands of years ago, and today, it is practiced by people all over the world, regardless of their religious or spiritual beliefs.

For the likes of Dani, a modern spiritualists, yoga is a powerful tool for cultivating self-awareness, inner peace, and connection with the divine or the universe.

Here are some ways Dani incorporates yoga into a spiritual practice:

 

  1. Focus on mindfulness: Yoga is a practice of mindfulness and we use it to develop awareness of the present moment, let go of distracting thoughts, and connect with our inner self.
  2. Certain poses such as tree pose or warrior pose can be used to cultivate strength and resilience, while other poses like child’s pose or pigeon pose can be used to release tension and surrender to the divine.Practicing yoga postures can be a way to connect with the divine or the universe.
  3. Dani uses Pranayama, or yogic breathing exercises, to cultivate calm, focus, energy, and also as a way to connect with the spiritual essence of life.
  4. Meditation is a powerful tool for to deepen your connection with the divine or the universe. Dani  practicing meditation regularly and uses it in her classes to cultivate a sense of inner peace, clarity, and spiritual growth.
  5. Dani’s believe her yoga class is a time for self-reflection, and encourages students to explore their thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, and to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their connection with the divine.

Overall, yoga can be a powerful practice to cultivate inner peace, self-awareness, and connection with the divine, whatever your belief.

Other Benefits of Yoga Practice

Yoga can challenge, strenghten and make flexible the body, it stops the mind chatter, eases stress, aids sleep and builds self esteem. It is a non-competitive practice and you are encouraged to develop at your own pace.

Each of us are different and Yoga has something offer everyone. Yoga practice gives you the weekly or daily space to switch off and spend time taking care of yourself.

1. Improves our breathing capactity. In everyday life we use about 1/8 of our full lung capacity and in Yoga we practice breathing exercises to increase our capacity to inhale, retain and exhale. 

2. Balancing poses improve our focus and concentration.  

3. Relaxes the busy mind and anxious nervous system

4. Calms the emotions and thought patterns

5. Improves flexibility and strenghtens the muscles

6. Good for bones density

Yoga is a practice that gives energy, strength, flexibility and health to your body. It brings balance to your nervous system and increase the functions of the immune system. Yoga brings evenness and steadiness to the mind. When we have a practice that combines functions of  the body, the breath and a state of focused attention we fully integrate our entire organism into wellbeing and a state of presence.

Yoga is a guaranteed path to becoming healthy, relaxed and stress free.

Here’s what Lovin Dublin had to say about Dani’s classes

REIKI SESSION

Reiki is an alternative therapy referred to as energy healing. This ancient  healing modality has been around for centuries but the current practice emerged in the 1922 through a Japan Buddhist Dr Mikao Usui.

The practice involves transferring the Universes Ki/Chi/Prana life energy to balance the energy body and assist the natural healing ability of the physical body.

The session is simple. The client lays fully clothed on a bed (Massage table) and  me, the practitioner calls in the energy and sends it to the client by laying hands on or over the clients body. It targets the energy fields around the body and removes blocks in a similar way to acupuncture.

I love this healing modality, which has greatly served me over the past 20 years. I find that most people feel a deep sense of relaxation. They also feel the heat radiating from my hands as the energy flows. With each session I get feedback but people always come away feeling calmer and more at ease.

 

PRICES:

Sessions run 60-75 min. €65 per session

Call out sessions €95 per session

Testimonials

  • The facilities at The Deerstone were top class but the experience was even more so. The yoga itself was exactly the right combination of challenging but nourishing to the body, and the addition of breathwork, meditation, and interesting conversations over delicious food was just the best weekend I could have hoped for for my mom's 70th birthday. You yourself are such a gifted instructor -- I really felt an improvement in my sense of my body thanks to some of the work. Plus, my mother and I found the closing forehead massages so soothing, we're still talking about them! Thank you so much for such a lovely and enriching experience.

    Rachel

  • A lovely balance of yoga, meditation and good reflection. Dani makes you thankful for your body so came away with less self critism. Time- with friends - for myself and my head - to stretch and release my body - to reflect on what's important

    Clare

  • Dani's skill set and welath of experience is out of this world, what she brings to the mat and the room is life changing. I got answers I sought before attending and feel ready to take action. Thank you so much Dani for creating this amazing space.

    Clara

  • I absolutely loved this retreat weekend. This was my first retreat and I feel like I'm returning home to my family with a full cup. It's only when you are given the space & permission to relax that you realise the stress, anxiety and "noise" you are holding in your body. Thank you Dani for a wonderful restorative weekend.

    Julie Ann

  • Dani thank you for a very relaxing retreat. You hold the room, listen to the students and have a beautiful guiding voice. January is a wonderful time of year to retreat. Sessions were beautiful planned. Thank you and I'm looking forward to next year.

    Celine

  • Two days away from the world to mind myslef and be guided by Dani to a deeper understanding of myself. A complete treat to all the senses surrounded by lovely people

    Ciara

  • Dani is so professional and knowledgeable. SHe really made sure I was welcomed as a single person on my own & that I was introduced to everyone else. It was my first time doing yoga but she made sure I learned positions an there was no pressure to do more than I was capable of. I'd highly recommend Dani's retreat whether an experienced or newbie student.

    Angela

  • A fantastic weekend in every way. Dani is a great yoga instructor, very experienced but most of all her personality shines in everyway - I came on my own and felt I had 20 friends straight away. Dani makes a connection with each person instantly. A very relaxing weekend and I am looking forward to my next one already Thanks

    Louise

  • I signed up for a couple of weeks ago and find this option amazing. As Dani says, you can do a short or a longer one. I think its absolutely amazing value and highly HIGHLY recommend it.

    Fionnula

  • For me it has been a lifesaver to be able to access online Yoga with Dani. The library of classes are so diverse there is a class for everyone whether you are a beginner or an experienced yoga practitioner. It gives me the flexibility to do my Yoga when it suits me, to log on anywhere and practice my Yoga and the added bonus to listen to Dani’s voice leading the practice it is just like been in one of her in person classes. There are practices online that are for 20 or 30 minutes and there is such variety focussing on class levels, areas of the body and varying lengths of classes. Another valuable offering from Dani is the availability of meditation practices which I find invaluable when you need that time to ground yourself. For me the online offering is great value and a valuable tool to have at one’s disposal.

    Fiona

  • I've been a member of Dani's yoga membership since it started. I love the flexibility it offers me, I can do classes whenever I'm able to, it fits in with my schedule from 10 minute classes to an hour class. I use it at least twice a week. Dani is a great teacher she gives great instruction on how to get into and out of each pose and the correct alignment. I would recommend this platform for yogi's new and experienced.

    Yvonne

  • It was an amazing and unforgettable week. Dani's wonderful caring, attentive, fun approach made this a truly exceptional experience and exceeded my expectations. She created the perfect Yoga retreat - every day was filled with morning & evening practice - additional workshops were laid on for those of us who needed a little attention at the start. Dani's teaching style is fab; patient, empathetic, fun and enthusiastic. There were so many highlights, the friendships, the exceptional location, the sunset yoga session, the island itself. Thank you Dani for an unforgettable experience, I will treasure it

    Sheila

  • As a yoga teacher and long time practitioner, I took a leap of faith going on Dani’s yoga holiday to Amorgos. I was nervous for so many reasons (not knowing anyone, would I like the yoga etc) but that was misspent energy because it was one of the BEST trips ever. Dani is a true professional but also so warm, kind, patient, and compassionate. She lead us through beautiful practices, shared her knowledge, and guided into a place where we could curate the week to what we truly needed. I would highly recommend her retreats and classes, Dani is a rare find, a true yogi.

    Aoife

  • Good morning Dani. I have been doing some self love treatment all week and found your yoga class about loveing yourself/ self compassion/ Ho-oponopono really helpful. Thank You

    Susie

  • As a first timer to a Yoga Retreat with no expectations, I have definitely been missing out all my life. Back at my desk I am feeling calm, relaxed and invigorated, albeit a tad sore having stretched muscles that have been ignored for far too long. I also couldn’t have asked to meet a nicer group of people who brought as much to the weekend as the Yoga did, along with lots of belly laughs. Will definitely be doing more Yoga Retreats in the future.

    Leslie

  • Dani's patience, guidance, encouragement and calm aura were a pleasure to be around. She is a very special person who can tap into people's needs and abilities. I was feeling lost, lacking in confidence and very apprehensive about the weekend but it's undoubtedly one of the BEST things I have ever done for ME !! Thank you, thank you thank you.

    Katherine

  • I loved this weekend in Brooklodge and love Dani's delivery of the yoga poses and her way in general. She shares so much knowledge which helps to understand the benefits of yoga and meditation. She recites poetry at the end of her classes which I love and also does short head massages which is a lovely touch. I find the yoga challenging which is good for me. I loved spending time with my friends and also other likeminded people. The woodland setting was beautiful where the retreat was held.

    Val

  • I had never been to a yoga retreat before and now I cant wait for the next one! A perfect balance. Dani is an amazing and caring teacher. Will recommend it to everyone!

    Inese

    Brigid

  • I wish the weekend was ahead of us again and I had all the wonderful things and people to look forward to. It was absolutely brilliant, I enjoyed it so much. The light had gone out inside me and thanks to you and your practices I think it has begun to shine again, in a small but really significant way. A million thank yous. See you on one of your yoga days !

    Katherine

  • Thanks a million Dani for getting us through lockdown. Your meditations and yoga were a lifeline.

    Brigid

  • After losing a loved one I needed to find some calm in my life that's when I found Dani yoga. I am practicing yoga with Dani for nearly 7 years, she exudes positivity, energy, warmth and a wealth of experience which she willingly shares with her class. I love attending my weekly yoga and look forward to meeting all the lovely friends I've made, we work hard but have great fun.

    Jane Reddin

  • Dani's yoga is inspirational her creative vinyasa flow helps us to glide through our yoga practice. I look forward to Dani's practice each week. Since the lock down Dani's yoga practice has become life saving and breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you Dani I don't think you realise how you have helped so many people during this difficult time.

    Fiona O'Dowd

  • I really don't know what I would do without Yoga and the meditation that Dani provides for this group everyday. Thank you so much.

    Anne (post Covid-19 Lockdown 2020)

  • Yoga has become an essential part of my life-bringing both physical and mental benefits. Dani's yoga classes have contributed greatly to my enjoyment of life in the broadest sense. Sessions are enjoyable both for the technical learning and the spiritual fulfilment. Also I benefit from the broad range of Dani's yoga expertise and training. Live classes are great fun and that's backed up with great material on the web. P/s. - Her enthusiasm and positivity are infectious.

    Marcus

  • Dani thanks so much for a brilliant morning. I feel so zen now thanks to you. You have a lovely style of teaching that inspires and resonates with everyone (chatting to a few lovely gals in the lift who were singing your priaises).

    Sarah

  • I have been going to Dani's classes for years and it never fails to surprise me just how much they nourish me. Dani uses a powerful blend of challenging yoga and mindful exercises that help you stay focused in class and benefit from every breath, every movement. Dani is a rare kind of teacher - intuitive, inspiring and wise.
