She is very conscientious and creates supports for each of us based on our individual needs. I’ve really enjoyed the classes and feel stronger and better prepared! Thanks AoifePosted on Google Aisling JoyceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really enjoy Aoife's pre-natal classes in Moons Yoga loft, Blackrock. Since joining the classes I feel much stronger and fitter in my pregnancy. Aoife delivers the classes in a calm and pleasant way and is quickly on hand to help to adjust a pillow or add a prop to make sure you're always comfortable. She balances out the moves between gentle challenges, (adapted for whatever stage of pregnancy you're at) and restful stretches for areas that are often forgotten in pregnancy. She gives the all-important pelvic floor exercises the time they deserve too. Every week I come out of Aoife's class feeling like a new woman, body and mind. I would highly recommend.Posted on Google Moya BreenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Aoife is great—super knowledgeable but also very down to earth and easy to follow. The classes are challenging in a good way, but still really enjoyable. I like that there’s a big focus on doing things properly, so you actually feel the difference after each session. I’ve definitely noticed improvements in my strength and flexibility since starting. It’s also a really relaxed and welcoming vibe, so you never feel out of place no matter your level. Would definitely recommend giving it a go!Posted on Google Margaret M FlemingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Ah Aoife I’m sorry to hear you don’t have enough bodies , it was great meeting you and I thought you were a fab teacher BerniePosted on Google Laura KalbagTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve recommended Aoife’s Pilates classes to everyone I know locally. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, explains the exercises really clearly, and her classes have loads of variety. Even though I’ve been doing Pilates for many years, I feel like I’ve made real progress since doing Aoife’s classes. I especially appreciate how much Aoife takes everyone’s individual needs into consideration when teaching the class. Whether you’re a complete beginner, more experienced, or have an injury or restriction, everyone is accommodated. And she’ll even recommend individual adjustments to help you get the most out of the exercises. She encourages you to test yourself, but never pushes you to go too hard. All her classes have a great energy, motivating yet calm, and not too serious!Posted on Google Emily NevinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Aoife is a wonderful ,cheerful teacher.. I love the way she explains the benefits of each movement . She also keeps a close individual check on her students-making sure we are doing each exercise correctly. Her classes are really helping my back pain.
