A native of Galway, Marion has been practicing yoga for over 10 years. With experience in Iyengar, Ashtanga, Sivananda, Bikram and Hatha yoga she then discovered Kundalini Yoga. Loving its use of mantra and meditation she found it to be a truly transformational practice. She recently completed level 1 teacher training with iSKY (School of Kundalini Yoga, Ireland) and hopes to bring her love of yoga across in her classes.

Katrina expanded from her initial introduction to yoga after moving to Santa Monica, California where, over twelve years, she had the opportunity to practice and study Yin, Iyengar, Hatha, Vinyasa Flow, Kundalini, Ashtanga and Pre-natal Yoga throughout Los Angeles but mainly in Yoga Works, Santa Monica and Sacred Movement in Venice. 

Her teaching style bares the imprint of this wide range of yoga studied over the years. Her classes have a strong emphasis on the breath and allowing the breath to guide the practice safely to a more supple and strong body and calm mind. Given the severe back pain and a diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis in her early twenties Katrina has always approached yoga from a therapeutic standpoint.

Katrina, her husband Paul and two boys, moved back to Galway in 2008 and took over ownership of An Seomra Yoga in June 2009.

(Some of her teachers included Max Strom, Saul David Raye, Chris Stein, Annie Carpenter, Matthew Cohen, Vinnie Marino and Jamie Elmer.  she also practiced with Swami Vivekananda in Rishikesh).

Paul, co-owner of An Seomra Yoga did his first yoga class in Seattle in 1994. 

He continued his practice and study of yoga in Los Angeles in a variety of styles and did his teacher training with Yogaworks in Santa Monica. Yogaworks is a school of yoga inspired by the classical Ashtanga, Iyengar and Viniyoga schools, all in the lineage of Krishnamacharya complemented by Alan Finger's deep knowledge of meditation and the subtle body.  He continued his study in Sacred Movement, Venice CA, with Erich Schiffman and Jamie Elmer.

Paul's teaching style is influenced by the Yogaworks system along with the intuitive focus of Erich Schiffman and Chad Hamerons's teaching and the dynamic movement with breath of Jamie Elmer and Robyn Ann Schumacher.

His classes tend to be strong and energetic but always with a light hearted approach.

Sara took her first yoga class in Dublin in 2000 and soon after started following the Iyengar method of yoga. The emphasis on precision and alignment has helped her deepen her own practice.

Iyengar yoga helps increase awareness and intelligence of the body and consistently restores balance to both the body and the mind. Sara holds an introductory teaching certificate level 2 in Iyengar yoga and has been teaching since 2006.

She recently returned from travelling in Canada and Asia where she regularly participated in local yoga classes and attended workshops with senior teachers. Sara has been to India a number of times where she studies with Rajiv and Swati Chanchani (senior Iyengar teachers in Northern India). She has assisted in their local and medical classes, deepening her interest and understanding of yoga as a therapy.
