Antoinette’s teaching style is dynamic, with a flowing moving meditation. There is a focus on attention to form, integration of the breath and cultivation of awareness where you will come away feeling stronger and more energised.
Antoinette encourages a deep and focused practice in class. Attention is directed to building core strength and proper alignment while at the same time, cultivating and sustaining an inner calm.

“Thank you so much Antoinette for the classes. She is fantastic at it and makes everyone feel so welcome and at ease and she has a way of making people feel good about themselves, regardless of how much they know about yoga. I always find that it’s the only time I really switch off and think about myself. I always feel like a new person after Antoinette’s class! Totally revitalised and relaxed.”
“Antoinette has provided profoundly effective distance reiki healings on me. She has nurtured my mind, body and soul with empathy, compassion and love.
Her talents and gifts run through all of her work. She has given me the ability to heal myself also by teaching me relaxation techniques, breath-work, restorative yoga practice and has aided me along my journey of spiritual awakening and awareness.
She is overflowing with an abundance of knowledge and wisdom. Antoinette has a deep understanding for the pain of others and a genuine approach to helping people heal and improve their well-being.
Her heart lies in the centre of her work. I have felt safe and cared for in her hands at all times.
I am truly grateful.”
“I have been going to Zen Yoga for almost 6 years now. All levels are catered for and there is a wide range of abilities in the group. Great value for money with each session just short of 1.5 hours. Antoinette creates a positive, friendly and encouraging environment for her classes.”
“I decided to start a healthier lifestyle and was told yoga is great for that. I found Zen Yoga as it was down the road. I went in with the intention of becoming more flexible, starting with being able to touch my toes. After 10 months, of one class a week and practicing at home when I can, I can now nearly place my palms on the flat of the ground while standing. On top of that, I do a lot of running and some of the poses are great for stretching out my legs when they are sore after a long run or pains in my back. Thank you Antoinette for being a great teacher.”
“Years of playing Rugby and GAA meant that my flexibility was borderline non-existent. Through Antoinette’s patience and teaching, my agility and strength has increased hugely, meaning that, while there’s nothing I can do about an impact injury, I am far less likely to tear a muscle or aggravate ligaments and tendons from general play. As I got older, I also found that my body needed the Yoga as an investment in longevity. Antoinette has a great way of adapting her classes to give confidence to everyone, from novice beginners to those more familiar with the poses.”
“I’m loving Antoinette’s classes every week! Growing up, I played a lot of sports and did athletics but then in secondary school, I was on the basketball team and was bullied while on it for many years. Since then, I just couldn’t bring myself to join anything. I was just afraid really. So many times I wanted to be part of some activity again, but I just wasn’t able to and going to Antoinette’s class was the first time in years that I joined something. I love it, I feel so safe and get so much from then. Thank you.”
“I have been practicing yoga on and off for the last few years and after returning to Ireland, it was great to find such a good class that was local to me. Antoinette’s classes are a good balance of everything I am looking for in yoga and the practice keeps me injury free and flexible for the sports and interests I enjoy. A great class for the body and mind in a relaxed environment with a brilliant teacher!
“I have been attending Antoinette’s yoga class at least once a week for the past year. Her blend of intense cardio and deep stretches means you great a great workout coupled with a stretching regime that will improve flexibility and ease muscle injuries or strains. The classes are catered to each individual’s level and capability with encouragement and individual attention if required.”
“I’d never done yoga before. I found it challenging but really relaxing too. I really found a difference and subtle but yet very noticeable changes over the few weeks. My mind was just so much clearer after each class. I can only imagine the benefits of doing it long term. Thanks so much for all your support and I couldn’t recommend your classes enough and also to anyone looking for an introduction to yoga.”
“I’m only a beginner, but after doing Zen Yoga with Antoinette, I don’t think I could go anywhere else! What a brilliant teacher! Would recommend Zen Yoga to anyone, I love it.”
“I have tried a couple of different styles of yoga and Antoinette’s style ranks at number 1! She delivers a challenging and rewarding workout. I came back to yoga as I found the usual gym exercise routines were aggravating my wear and tear injuries and body niggle. Yoga has certainly improved my stamina and strength and has helped me rediscover the joy of moving again.”
“I absolutely love Zen Yoga. I work in construction. Physically, it takes its toll on the body. Since starting yoga earlier this year, both I and my physio have observed noticeable improvements in my flexibility. I also firmly believe it has been a huge factor in me losing a couple of shots off my golf handicap (moving from 9 to 6)! Classes are great for focusing the mind and body. Antoinette is fun, energetic and a great teacher with wonderful people skills. Highly recommended.”
“Antoinette delivers a style of yoga that has relaxed my body and mind in a way I have not experienced in years. I am so glad I have found Zen Yoga.”
“The yoga instructor, Antoinette, is amazing! The best yoga classes I’ve been to. She is very thorough and ensures that you are doing the moves correctly. Such a great class, I love it!”
“Thank you for your classes, I really enjoy them. I’m looking forward to it every week. Your classes are so well balanced and they are challenging. I love the meditation parts and breathing, a new thing every week.”
“I have been going to Antoinette’s classes for a few months now and I can honestly say that I am feeling a lot better in myself. In fact, I am always looking forward to my weekly class as it helps me to de-stress and rebalance my body, mind and spirit. I was a complete novice when I started and it is very rewarding to see the progress you make as you go along. The general perception is that Yoga is mostly practiced by women, but it is great to see that the male/female ration is pretty balanced in Antoinette’s classes. If you’re thinking of giving Yoga a go, I would highly recommend Antoinette’s classes.”
“I love Antoinette’s style of Yoga. The class has a great pace; you feel as though your mind and body has had a thorough workout and chance to relax. Her approach as a teacher is excellent and I would recommend to anyone who likes a Yoga class that has a good pace and a good chance for relaxation afterwards.”
“Besides the beautiful, peaceful energy Antoinette created, the combination of the breathing exercise, meditation and the physical Yoga practice left me feeling both exhilarated and very peaceful and I slept like a baby that night. One of the nicest things about Zen Yoga sessions and Workshops is how all needs are met and everyone can progress at their own pace in a very safe and welcoming environment. You always come out feeling really glad you were part of it.”
“Just to thank you Antoinette for the wonderful classes, so enjoyable. I teach 2nd class, 30 children and I use so much of what you do with us, in my classroom. The difference it has made to them is remarkable and even just taking a few minutes every day to focus on breathing, meditation and so on has a profound effect on them.”
“Brilliant teacher and a good bunch of people attending the class. Abilities and gender don’t matter as Antoinette caters for everyone!”
