The Dublin buddhist centre beside store street garda station has cheap meditation courses

I'm a personal yoga tutor, only 20 yos per hour as well.
I can help you with lots of stretching in various different positions, I only tutor girls though.

Oh Cormcolash, you CARD!

Some people here have serious issues with Yoga. Christ! I did yoga once but because of my bandy arm I ended up injuring myself twice (not badly, mind) and I had to leave. I LOVED pilates though. Anyone have any info on where they do pilates classes in the city centre?

No essays on why pilates is shit, thanks.

Maybe you just need to try it with someone else, I can give you a lesson for free if you like

A friend of mine teaches yoga and pilates in a few different places, but I think mostly in Portobello?

I went to a class that was at Melt, and was great, but it was a good few years ago. Pilates I can handle because it's more active and no one is barking at me to relax while warning me not to do the moves wrong or I won't get any benefit.

I would go to more yoga if the centres didn't greedily pack the rooms to the point where you don't even have the room to put a mat on the floor.

It's not yoga I have a problem with, it's the yoga industry and the people who use alleged 'centredness' to excuse their rudeness. I also found the instructors I've had in yoga to be patronising and the centres where they are held are too greedy to acknowledge that all rooms have a limit to how many people can comfortably do yoga in them.

It's like dealing with the same entitled arsehole behaviour you get in a shopping mall parking lot at Christmas. People take on the personalities of the Land Rovers they all drive.

If anyone knows of a yoga place that isn't run by assholes masquerading as 'centred', I'd love to hear about it. I have not found one.

Pilates is fine because there's no onus on you to relax or be humiliated by some instructor who barks at you to relax more. If the same lady is still teaching at Melt, I recommend her. I think she used to be/still is a dancer, so she's just incredibly knowledgable and really helpful and you do get a great workout out of it.

I've been doing yoga now for a year and a half and found it has benefitted me enormously physically. I'm a really stressed person and it hasn't changed that aspect of my personality and to be honest I've never expected it to. But I had a shite back and knees which I was always putting out and spending a fortune going to physio and the doctor with and since yoga I've had very few problems.

The classes I attended are small...maximum 10 people I think and my teacher is a chartered physio who explains the medical benefits of each position and also the dangers caused by doing it incorrectly so you can't actually fuck yourself up...but it's on the northside so no help to you Rosin

i did a few tai chi classes in rathmines, was pretty good, perfect for a lazy shite like myself.

If you're still looking, there's a big sign outside St. Mary's saying "Yoga Classes Here". I think there might be yoga classes there.

Tai Chi makes me irrationally annoyed for some reason.

WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE!!!111

EVERYONE IS LOOKING AT YOU STANDING THERE THINKING YOU'RE MAAAAAD

I pretend not to notice them, "oh sorry, what? Miles away. Tai Chi people? Where, oh yes! I see them now, I've heard its very good."


In reality my eyelid is twitching Tyler Durden style and I'm thinking about setting shit on fire.
