Morning yoga classes are running in Ballyroan Community Centre, Marian Road, Rathfarnham. The centre is a recently built, spotlessly clean, warm, bright, spacious place brilliantly run by South Dublin County Council; we are very lucky to be supported by an incredible team!

Most people who come to yoga find it is something they happily incorporate into life on an ongoing basis and many come to two, or three, classes in the week. Below is everything you need to know, please don’t make a payment until your place in a class has been confirmed by Sylvia.

Tuesday’s class is 10.45-11.45m; Thursday’s is 9.30-10.30am.

A four week course is €40. Drop-ins, when available, are €12.  Please don’t make a payment until your place is confirmed.

Discounted student rates are available (€30/€10) and I will always work with you in times of financial hardship, please just ask. 

The policy for Ballyroan Community Centre is everyone has to be fully vaccinated. I am obliged to check your Covid Cert please. We will operate a mask-to-mat policy. No mask required while doing yoga but masks are required while walking around the centre. 

Please enter and exit the Community Centre via the fire exit doors directly entering the hall, not through reception as we used to.

The room is ventilated with fresh air so please bring warm layers. I always recommend a small folded blanket or towel (to sit on or for warmth for relaxation), warm socks and a warm hoodie or jumper. *Dress warmer than you think you might normally need to.*

What to expect in class: 

I strive to deliver you a yoga practice that is balanced and healthy… strength, balance, posture, muscle tone, flexibility and range of motion. I always add in a good dose of breath-work, mindfulness, meditation and guided relaxation practices. As I enter my second year in a Masters of Mindfulness in UCD you can expect some references to psychology, neuroscience and buddhism as I continue to share my fascination with the human mind and body.

Our courses will run in 4-week blocks with the last week of each course focused on an aspect of restorative yoga… Yoga Nidra, Yin or Guided Body Scans. I will ask you to please confirm and pre-pay your next course on the final week of each course as we have a waiting list for both courses. However, drop in spaces often come up so please enquire. Email me sylviasyoga@gmail.com or whatsapp 0876822362.

I will always work with you if you are travelling and need to do part-of a course. I will always freeze your credit if you become sick or unable to attend. I do appreciate you letting me know if you can’t make a class but I know life is busy and last minute things crop up. 

Monthly workshops, two hours long, will run to allow you to go a little deeper into your practice. At the moment these are happening locally in Mutton Lane Yoga Studio and I expect I will run them locally in The Park Community Centre as we go along. Upcoming events are always listed on the Events and Workshops page of my website. I’ll be announcing new events on an ongoing basis, so please continue to stay in touch and book early if something sounds interesting!

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any queries, I’m available by email and can schedule a chat on the phone at a time that suits. We can also plan a quick chat before or after class any time you need to check anything with me.

We are incredibly lucky to have this beautiful, clean, warm spacious room to practice in, I’m so grateful you are considering joining us!
