Yogaripples Reviews 

I have been attending both Deirdre’s Yoga classes and retreats over many years and would highly recommend them. Deirdre continually builds on her Yoga experience this can be seen by the variety she brings to her classes. She has a very soothing and gentle voice in her teacher, which is immediately relaxing.

I attended a wonderful yoga retreat on Inishturk Island. It was magical from start to finish. Deirdre did a gentle grounding exercise to ease us into the retreat, followed by a wonderful flow of yoga poses to unwind both mind and body. We were blessed with yoga, swimming and sauna all overlooking the magnificient Portdoon harbour. I would recommend we all attend Deirdre's yoga retreat regularly, to keep the good vibes flowing.

I held an Introduction to Attuning to Full Potential Kinesiology workshop in Deirdre's beautiful yoga log cabin last month. The space was so inviting calm and peaceful. The participants on the workshop all felt so relaxed and intune with their presence in this beautiful yoga space. This made the workshop easier to facilitate. It meet all of my needs and its an ideal space to host a group of people on a workshop.

Deirdre met us at the pier on Inishturk island with a wide, warm, welcoming smile. Immediately I felt at ease in her company. The pase of the yoga sessions were so well matched to the group. She was so thoughtful and took time to explain what we needed to know. Encouraged us to embrace the peace and quiet of the island and hold onto the feeling and energy we created in our yoga and meditation sessions within ourselves. We were guided through different poses and relaxing meditations.

The sounds and energy from the Island formed part of our sessions which have stayed with me to this day. Deirdre brought us on an energetic walk around the island and we got to see some breathing views. All together the retreat was a magical experience.

Deirdre hosted us and catered for our needs so excellently. It's second nature for her and she was very organised. The food was so healthy and nutritious. Fresh and wholesome. It formed a significant part of the retreat. We shared recipes and exchanged insights into books and experiences over thoughtful meals.

Deirdre ensured we were served fabulous meals the Island restaurant. It was all so lovely. There was enough time out if we needed to walk and take some air. Well balanced with the right amount of work on the mat. Reminding us to listen to our bodies.

I came home feeling much more grounded and the experience as a whole has stayed with me for many reasons. Deirdre is full of kindness and her heart is open, caring and non judgemental. I am grateful to her for this wonderful time and support. I look forward to another retreat in Inishturk when the time comes.

I highly recommend Deirdre and Yoga Ripples, she is so knowledgeable and in tune with the human body, life and people. It's an added experience to go on a Yoga Retreat to an Island. Everything slows down.

I have been so privileged to live and work closely together with Deirdre on a retreat place in Costa Rica. She is a very talented, experienced yoga teacher with +20 years of experience. This woman knows what she is talking about!! Her calm presence was a pure joy to be around. She always prepared wonderful yoga classes with a clear and structured guidance. I can only recommend anyone to attend her retreat in Morocco in November. You will feel clear, calm and get a feeling of finding back to yourself after a week in Deirdre’s hands

Deirdre is such a source of light! She is highly educated and incorporates her knowledge seamlessly into her offerings. She makes you feel safe and secure in your body. Her knowledge as a nurse and of kinesiology is unique and adds another level to her classes. She is someone who will hold space for you wherever you’re at. I highly recommend her as fellow yoga teacher myself.

Deirdre is an excellent yoga teacher with a beautiful safe energy. She made me feel noticed, cared for and safe during our sessions. She has the ability to see you and understand where your at. Her container feels loving and nurturing and I would highly recommend her retreats. Thank you so much for the magical space you offer. I can't wait for our next meeting! 😊 ❤️

" Deirdre is a special teacher. She has amazing awareness and presence and can hold space with the purest intention for all. What is so striking is her deep knowledge of yogic principles, asana and pranayama. I cannot wait to attend her workshops offering hoponopono and AFP attuning to full potiential. Deirdre's gift is to help us to safely become the best version of ourself allowing space to release old patterns, habits and programming. She really is a gift to this earth" Brid

I've attended many of Deirdre's yoga classes over the years and always come away feeling both relaxed and energised....however she manages that! Her classes seem effortless, perhaps due to her soothing voice and presence. I haven't yet attended one of her retreats, but hope to join one soon. I can't imagine how amazing I'd feel after a whole week of Yoga Ripples!

Deirdre is the sort of person the universe sends your way when you are at crossroads and you need somebody to encourage you following your inner light. She has the most delicate, luminous and healing energy about her. I've rarely felt safer than with her, as even thought she can read people like very few can, she will never give unsolicited advice or opinions. On the contrary, she has a way of facilitating your own meditation and intuition process and accompanying you towards light that is kind, open, empathetic and non judgemental. Practicing and even just speaking with her would be a blessing for everyone.

I always feel so relaxed and restored after one of Deirdre’s deeply restorative yoga nidra or yin yoga classes. She has such a soothing voice and healing energy. You know you are in safe hands with her nursing background, extensive experience and qualifications.

Deirdre has a great presence and an ability and awareness to cue into the right issue with a person .She holds a powerful presence in groups .

Deirdre is amazing. So attuned and with the most calming and connected energy and presence. I am new to yoga and have back problems but recently had the privilege of attending two of Deirdre's yoga classes. The pace and flow was just beautiful. I felt so safe and well held in her class which really helped me to understand what yoga is all about. Deirdre's gentle confidence speaks to her years of experience in holistic healing and spiritual work. I can't wait to attend one of her retreats! Thank you Deirdre for being you and for all you do 🙏🥰

Hello my name is Dave and I am one of the owners of Dragonfly Beach Retreat in Punta UVA Costa Rica. We recently had the pleasure of hosting Deirdre as a guest teacher. Deirdre’s class was amazing, as she gently guided us through a restorative Yin Yoga session.
Her class was thoughtful calming and her ability to clearly instruct you through the positions, while guiding your mind and body with a more spiritual intent, is a breath of fresh air for both me and experience yogis!
We will eagerly await her return and look forward to future classes. Dave

I had the pleasure of taking Deidre's Hoponopono Workshop. Deidre had such a calming and empathic presence leading our group into a state of forgiveness. I feel this workshop enhanced my exsisiting knowledge of Hoponopono which has inspired me to continue my practice and continue to experience the uplifting benefits.
