I have a huge passion for sport and yoga. I currently play Hurling and Gaelic Football in Ireland and have been involved in many different teams in the past. Coming home from trainings and gym sessions with aches and pains in my body, and not really knowing why, is what led me to starting yoga. Straight away i was hooked and couldn't get enough of it. To this day, i have been lucky enough to have never sustained a major injury from playing sport and put it down to both S&C and yoga. I found there was no real existence of targeted yoga for athletes/active people out there, that aligned S&C and yoga together. This is what led me to train with YSS and become a Yoga Sports Coach.™ I am thankful to be equipped with a vast amount of knowledge and experience that enables me to combine modern day functional biomechanics and movement with the ancient traditions of yoga. I also take pride in delivering session's in a happy and relaxing environment, targeting an athletes needs.

YSS Case Study: Hurling

I worked with 4 high level hurlers, with 3 of them playing at inter-county level. My goal was to “improve the running efficiency of my athletes by increasing ranges of motion and improving breathing capacity”. We did 6 sessions together via zoom, and tailored this to once a week. I also put together 10 minute specific videos each week for my athletes to use as homework. My sessions focused on progression techniques as well as other techniques that i would regularly keep on a consistent basis. By the end of the 6 weeks, in a feedback survey all of my athletes noted that they improved both their movement efficiency and breathing capacity, and saw great improvements in their running efficiency.
