Hello everyone. I hope you are all doing well. I have to say I'm missing the online classes however I'm enjoying the rest & recovery immensely. It's been a deeply healing time for me mentally & physically and I'm grateful to have space and time to build myself back up again. Since my last Live online class I have received some wonderful feedback from a student Stephanie Gaillot. Thank you so much Stephanie for telling your story (below). I'm delighted you have got so much relief from your practice. Long may it last. I really appreciate you giving the time to write up a testimonial. Your story gave me so much encouragement & hope. Have a wonderful weekend everyone and I'll be back soon to give you some more updates. Mind yourselves Le buíochas /with gratitude Irene May 2026. Hello my name is Stéphanie I am a 51 years old mother of 4 grown children. I have been suffering from migraines and tinnitus for as long as I can remember. I came across Irene at an event in Organico in Bantry in September last year I signed up for her online face yoga classes and have been doing the weekly sessions, not always live, but I would catch up during the week. I also started to do a couple of extra sessions during the week and after a couple of months I started to see a difference not only to my face but to my wellbeing. Suffering from fibromyalgia headaches are part of my everyday and I found my headaches and migraines being lesser and my TMJ was diminished aswell . But after4 months the biggest change was my tinnitus. From being so bad that people sitting next to me could hear it, to almost non existent. Since February to today's date ( May 2026) I have had only one episode that lasted a minute or so. I am not so saying that it is gone forever but from having it most of the day everyday to once in three months, to me this is life changing.

I have just finished a live face yoga session and I had some sad but good news. I'm feeling burnt out in many ways & have decided that I need to step back from a few things in my life for a while and teaching online Face Yoga is one of them. I am going to put time into my home, my family and building a garden that serves us. I'm loving it. Planting lots of trees and food. It feels so wholesome and calming. I will be still doing in-person face yoga classes every now & then & will be back online again but in a different capacity maybe! I'll let you know you know how things develop. Space and time is needed in order to achieve that. I hope you understand. I wish you all well and I hope you can surround yourself with as much love and nourishment as you need to thrive and be happy. Le buíochas / with gratitude Irene

I’m taking a break from online face yoga classes this month. There are lots of events coming up that makes me unavailable for the remainder of March. I’m hoping to re-jig my life a bit & return with a new structure to my community. I will also be hosting more in person face yoga classes here in Bantry soon. I’ll be announcing that info in the following weeks . I hope to see some of you there possibly ! Mind yourselves Le Buíochas/ with gratitude Irene 🌿

Apologies about last minute cancelling. I’ve been called away for family matters so unfortunately I cannot host the class today I’ll be back next Sunday

We're calling this class 'Silent Scream'. Thank you @Ciara Luskin for sharing this new pose with us. It's an amazing pose for strengthening & supporting around the Tmj joint, tongue, back of the throat & mouth. We also practiced those poses that are perfect for across the table at Christmas dinner. We've been preparing our FY poses all year for this very day. Feel free to post up a Christmas Face Yoga pose at the dinner if you fancy it for the craic. This class from today is usually only accessible to Premium members but I'm gifting you all this class for the season that's in it. Merry Christmas everyone. Take care and mind yourselves. Class next week is themed 'DESTRESS'.
