Real Stories from Our Students
  • Nora Lawton

    ” Beautiful studio & teachers, lovely flow classes coupled with a sense of community – you’ll be grounded in no time:) “

  • Nicola Stathers

    ” My favourite yoga studio for 4 years running, Katie is a warm and funny teacher and she is bringing together a wonderful, intentional community in Cork city. The new studio is a wonderful space and her classes are always athletic, deeply reflective and somehow …intellectually physical. Every class I takes me somewhere, challenging me to think differently about my practice, with a combination of traditional poses and strength workouts that really push the boundaries of yoga. In a good way.

    I’ve been following her online classes recently and they are Excellent – really helping me make space to meditate and time to exercise. “

  • Elisabeth O Flaherty

    ” This yoga studio is perfect – the location, the atmosphere and the teachers are all amazing. Such a relaxing and welcoming space. Cork Lotus Yoga is wonderful in all its forms but the Carey’s Lane studio is really special! Can’t wait to join more classes this summer. “

  • Sarah McCarthy

    ” I just want to let you and Hazel know how much I love your online platform. As a mum of a one year old, your online recordings have made adjusting my practice around motherhood far more accessible than attending classes in person or even motivating my self practice. It is much loved and appreciated. Thank You “

  • Deirdre Woods

    ” Katie’s yoga classes are pure magic. They’re full of joy, heart, strength and so much wisdom — I always leave feeling lighter, like I’m floating on air. She has such a beautiful way of holding space, and her energy is somehow grounding, uplifting and relaxing all at the same time. I really notice it in my body when I miss a week — a reminder of just how powerful and restorative her classes are. “

  • Ruth Casey

    ” I must go back to your online platform, Adrienne’s not doing it for me “

  • Danvoye Lise

    ” First time trying yoga and I couldn’t have found a better place. I loved every minute spent with Katie. She is undoubtedly the best yoga teacher in Cork. She shares her knowledge with so much passion. The atmosphere in her studio is cozy and relaxed. Katie is kind and always makes you feel welcome. I have tried to find a good place to practice yoga back in my home country but it’s difficult when you have already experienced the best. Try it and you will look forward to the next class. “

  • Alchemy School of Yoga

    ” Such a beautiful and warm space in the heart of Cork City. The teachers here are all talented and friendly with such a great variety of classes. “

  • Alison Derham

    ” Katie teaches with a warmth and depth of knowledge that empowers you to gain a deeper understanding of your own mind and body. Her curiosity and love of learning comes across in her teaching as she incorporates many different elements into her classes. Classes can be simple, powerful, challenging, or restorative but they always provide a sense of generosity, care and joy. “

  • Hannah Cahill

    ” I’ve been going to Hazel’s yoga classes for about 6 or 7 years now and each class is really uplifting. She’s an incredible yoga teacher, and her classes are a perfect balance of energy and rest. I’m really looking forward to going to new classes in Cork Lotus Yoga – it’s a beautiful space right in the middle of Cork City. “

  • Katharina Busemann

    ” I absolutely loved every single class I did with Katie. She is so friendly, patient and attitude – free. The classes really suit my needs and I always felt she looked after me well. I’m still working on becoming more flexible and not once I felt conscious or awkward. Can’t wait for the studio to finally opening up again. “

  • Roz

    ” Katie is such a sweet and humble yoga teacher. I have enjoyed her classes over the past few months when I was still in Cork, Ireland so much. Thank you Katie for all the classes, wish I could take you with me to the Netherlands to continue the classes here 🙁 “

  • Elaine Smith

    ” Katie is absolutely amazing, she’s so friendly and you’re always greeted with a warm welcome at the studio. She is a fountain of knowledge. The classes are so enjoyable, you will learn something new each time from mindfulness as well as the relationship between the anatomy and yoga (this is something I really enjoy & haven’t experienced it elsewhere). Katie’s online classes during the Covid-19 have been so helpful & accommodating for people accessing them online. Would highly recommend her classes!!! “

  • Aoife Bhreatnach

    ” Katie is a wonderful teacher. No matter what the pose, she offers you easy, medium and hard options. She is very considerate of an individual’s abilities. I love her classes – the atmosphere in the studio is so positive. During the lockdown, her online classes have been a lifeline. I have asked her to design a personal practice for me and her videos have improved my flexibility and strength so much. I would recommend her to anyone! “
