PRIVATE YOGA SESSIONS
In-person in West Cork, Ireland; worldwide online
1-on-1 yoga instruction
Experience the benefits of personalised yoga with private 1:1 yoga sessions at Sona Retreat on the beautiful Sheep's Head Peninsula in West Cork. Whether you're completely new to yoga, or you’re returning after a break, or you’re working with some particular physical or emotional challenges, or looking to deepen an established practice, private yoga classes are a fantastic way to receive tailored support that’s designed around your individual needs.
I’ll work closely with you to create a practice that works specifically for you and your wishes. We’ll draw from yoga postures (asana), breathwork (pranayama), meditation, relaxation techniques, and yogic philosophy where appropriate. This 1-1 container is a supportive space for you to build awareness of your body and mind and breath, so that you can improve flexibility and strength and develop a deeper connection to yourself.
Private yoga sessions are available for locals and visitors staying in West Cork, including Kilcrohane, Bantry, Durrus, Ahakista, Ballydehob, Schull, and the surrounding areas. Online classes available also. Sessions can be booked as a one-off experience for €70 or as an ongoing series with a package of 5 for €300. Book a session here.
Weekly group yoga classes
If you enjoy the energy of practicing alongside others, my weekly group yoga classes offer a welcoming and supportive space to move and breathe. I love taking a group class as a student, because it’s a wonderful way to experience the motivation of moving alongside others; the lower price point helps to establish a regular practice, and it’s lovely to get to enjoy yoga with others and make new friends!
My group classes are suitable for all levels, including absolute beginners and folks who’ve been practicing for years. While guidance is offered to the group as a whole, I always encourage you to respect your own body and adapt the practice to meet your needs today (not what you might have needed yesterday or last week or last year). I’d love to see you for a group class soon!
Your teacher
Hi! I’m Karen Olivia, and I am a yoga teacher, astrologer, and retreat host and I love to create spaces for self-discovery and transformation.
I have been a yoga practitioner for close to 15 years, and a teacher since 2019. I’ve completed years of study in yoga, breathwork, meditation, and tantric philosophy. My teaching approach is rooted in the belief that these practices are not about becoming someone new and “healing”, but remembering who you already are.
