Welcome to Yoga le Grá

Hi to you, and a very warm welcome!

My name is Helena - Founder of Yoga le Grá (Yoga with Love), Business Creator, Yoga teacher,

Retreat & Event Planner.

Yoga le Grá was created with the understanding that it is so important to offer kindness, #

welcome compassion, and invite in Joy (both on and off the mat) Though not an easy

endeavor for most of us, to practice offering love to ourselves is proven to enhance our lives.

It creates the ripple effect, reaching out to each others and ultimately to Mother Earth & all beings.

Yoga Le Grá was born in September in 2015 in Cork, when I opened a cosy little yoga studio

on Model Farm Road. Many other teachers joined Yoga Le Grá and with the community we

created so many wonderful memories together. I really loved nurturing the community for 4 wonderful years and poured my heart into creating a space where we could gather & nourish.

Rooted in the truth that we are nature.

When we connect with that truth, everything softens.

Yogi Child for in aid of Simon Community

After spending time travelling around Ireland, connecting deeply with the land, growing organic veggie &

working in a Buddhist retreat centre to deepen my meditation practice, I returned to teaching yoga two years ago when I moved to Kerry.

I feel blessed to live on the breathtaking Irish coastline near the charming village of Glenbeigh in County Kerry.

I’m deeply connected to nature and find great joy in mountain hikes, forest walks, sea swims, and long mindful strolls.

Currently completing advanced yoga training with Oak & Willow, I truly love my ongoing yoga journey (on and off the mat). I am so passionate about sharing the magic of yoga with others.

Yoga as a Way of Life

Yoga, for me, is much more than a practice - it's a way of living.

Life is like a roller coaster, full of highs and lows, and yoga helps me stay grounded through it all.

Yoga helps me to practice staying present with whatever arises (not easy, it is a practice :)

it helps to breathe deeply, & to embrace life moment by moment.

Along with meditation, time in nature, and intentional self-care, yoga has become my anchor in both calm and stormy seas.

My Yoga Journey

I first discovered yoga in 2011 while living in Wellington, New Zealand.

The practice had a profound impact on my life, helping me navigate challenges, find balance, and reconnect with myself in ways I never expected.

Yoga became an anchor for me during a turbulent time, offering me space to breathe, reflect, and grow - ultimately shaping the person I am today.

I began my teaching path in 2015 in Bali, and since then, I’ve continued to deepen my practice and understanding through various trainings:

200-hour – Awakened Life School of Yoga (Bali)
200-hour – Himalaya Yoga Valley (Cork)
80-hour – Adventure Yoga with Stephen Ewashkiw (Adventure Yoga)
30-hour – The Craft of Teaching Hatha Yoga with Jeanie Jyanti (Alchemy School of Yoga)
30-hour – Restorative Yoga with Jeanie Jyanti (Alchemy School of Yoga)
30-hour – Yoga for Kids & Families (Rainbow Kids Yoga)
30-hour – Chair Yoga with Claire Oborne (yoga and movement)
Currently studying – 300-hour Advanced Training with Sarah Fox (Oak & Willow Yoga)

What to Expect at Yoga le Grá

Whether it’s a weekly class, workshop, or a wellbeing retreat, my passion is to create warm, welcoming, and nurturing spaces for people to move their bodies, explore yoga practices, and feel completely at home.

I love to teach from a place of joy, weaving themes into classes to create meaningful experiences.

My goal is to make yoga accessible to everyone - no matter where you’re starting from.

Above all, my intention is to show up with love in everything I do.

Organic Living & Nourishment for Retreats

At Yoga le Grá, we believe that true wellbeing extends beyond the mat and into every aspect of our lives, including what we nourish our bodies with. I’m deeply passionate about living sustainably & promoting organic living - both as a way of life and as a way to support our planet.

For every retreat and event I host, organic and locally-sourced foods are always on the menu.

We partner with trusted organic food suppliers to provide nourishing, wholesome meals that are free from chemicals and additives. Offering organic food not only enhances the retreat experience

but also aligns with our core values of health, sustainability, and mindfulness.

During our retreats, you can expect to enjoy delicious homemade meals that reflect the values of balance, nourishment, and vitality - complementing the yoga and meditation practice. Organic living is at the heart of everything we do, and we’re excited to share that experience with you.
