sruth , m. (gs. ~a, pl. ~anna). stream; current, flow

The word 'sruth' means stream, current or flow ‘as Gaeilge’ and denotes the flow of energy, breath and movement which the practice of yoga incorporates. It also refers to the flow state which is accessible through a regular yoga practice.

Cuireann an focal sruth in iúl an sruth fuinnimh, anála agus gluaiseachta a bhíonn mar chuid den chleachtas ióga. Déanann sé tagairt freisin don suaimhneas intinne a thagann ó bheith báite i gcleachtas rialta ióga.

About me

Hi, I’m Caoilfhionn! I’m originally from Leitir Mealláin but now living in Galway. I am a regular gig-goer, a cat lover, and a sun-worshipper who loves to be close to, or swimming in, the sea! Other passions include exploring and discovering new places and cultures, dancing, and foreign languages, and I hold a BA in Italian and Spanish, a MA in Translation Studies and a Masters in Primary Education.

My first yoga class was with Laragh and Dave Cunningham of The Yoga Shala in Galway in 2007, and I later began to attend regular Ashtanga yoga classes with Fiona Hynes of Ashtanga Yoga Galway. As a former dancer, I was immediately drawn to yoga’s fluid dance between movement and breath but it was the therapeutic effects on my mind, body and soul that kept me coming back to my mat.

My aim is to guide and empower you to access your inner calm, strength, courage and wisdom, tune into and listen to your heart, gain a deeper understanding of yourself and reconnect to your authentic self.
