Your teacher & Host
Conás atá tú?
Hello!
My name is Hannah, founder of BÍOG. I am a movement practitioner and instructor based in West Kerry where I lead daily classes of Pilates, Barre, Dance,Yoga, Breath work, Meditation and Sound Healing in the coastal town of Dingle on the West coast of Ireland. I've built a kind community of people off all ages who have made low impact movement and somatic practices a part of their lives for the past 5 years.
I have been working globally as a movement instructor for over 10 years following multiple trainings and certifications in these practices during my travels in New York, Los Angeles, Copenhagen, Sydney, India and Dublin. My love and knowledge of somatic movement practices became an integral part of my life during my professional contemporary dance training.
I continually work with various populations in group/semi private and 1:1 sessions. All bodies abilities and ages including ; athletes, retirees, people with varying degrees of injuries and illnesses.My movement style of teaching is contemporary and very influenced from my eclectic training background. I make sure movement feels accessible to all, challenging but never feeling out of reach, always giving options to suit different bodies, abilities and energy levels.
I am so excited to bring you to Mandrem, Goa! Ready to show you why I keep coming back to this peaceful and healing place. I am here for the advice, tips and tricks to ensure you have the smoothest journey getting there and will give you all the local knowledge once you get there and tell you where to get the best flat white!
Style of Classes
Pilates
I have been teaching Pilates full time for over ten years. Watching people connect and realign with their bodies, but also finding pure joy and freedom through movement.
I have a vast training background within pilates. Educated by different schools and methods in mat pilates, reformer pilates and barre. Trainings in working with specialised populations, injuries and conditions.
Expect morning Pilates classes to be energising and fun! Great upbeat playlists, a variety of props and creative flows. Challenging no matter what level but never too taxing.
Evening Pilates classes will be restorative and lengthening. Stretchy, gentle flows with lots of emphasis on mobilising the body and improving flexibility.
Yoga
I have over 600hrs of accredited teacher training completed in varying styles and lineages and over 10 years teaching experience. There are many styles that you will see through my classes, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Katonah, Yin and Restorative.
Expect morning Yoga classes to be flowing, filled with vinyasas and building postures. Creative flows that are catered for all. Challenging for all levels but still having time to pause. No one will be left behind. Breath work, long stretchy holds and shivasana will be always be apart of these classes.
Evening Yoga classes will be slow, restorative, stretchy and meditative with lots of emphasis on breath work.Yin, Katonah and restorative styles will be practiced here. Longer holds, slow flows, stillness and meditation.
A lover of one method and novice of the other?
Don’t worry! All levels will be catered for in classes, from beginners to experienced practitioners. This could be the perfect chance to experience a whole new way of moving as both methods complement each other brilliantly in the surroundings of the stunning seaside studio.
Each retreat guest is gifted with a months free access to my online on demand classes varying in both styles so you have time to get familiar with my styles and method.
