Meet Pamela

Hi, I'm Pamela,

Originally from Dublin, I’ve been living in County Kildare since 2003. 

I attended my first yoga class in 2001 as a way to manage the stress of a corporate job. The weekly practice presented me with a window through which I could truly observe myself. In those 60 mins each week, nothing else mattered. It felt like I was back in touch with myself after losing contact for years! This was the beginning of a journey that would change the course of my life.

In 2003, I became a mother and my perspective on life transformed dramatically.  Myself, my partner Mark, and baby Lucy moved out of the city and settled in rural Kildare. I reduced my working hours to care for Lucy and gradually embraced a more mindful, slower lifestyle. Then came baby Fred and a wedding!!

When the children were young, I discovered a creative way to practice yoga that kept them engaged and content. By transforming traditional yoga poses into animal-inspired movements, I turned my practice into a fun, family activity. The children would mimic animal shapes, turning our yoga sessions into playful adventures. Back then, there were little or no yoga classes for children. So, thanks to the encouragement of a good friend, I enrolled in a children’s yoga teacher training course. My guiding light was lit – and many other trainings followed;

2011: Rainbow Kids Yoga Teacher Training, Dublin – 30hrs

2013: Certificate in Mindfulness with Mindful schools.org 

2014: Radiant Child Yoga Teacher Training, Cork – 30hrs

2014: Began practising Ashtanga Yoga under the guidance of Paul Whelan

2014: Developed the WellBeings programme for Primary Schools

2016-2017: Ashtanga Teacher Training with Paul Whelan – 200hrs

2018-2021: Diploma in Sound Healing training with Benedykt Grabowski

2021: SOMA Programme – Youth Mindfulness, Glasgow – 40hrs

2024: Yoga for the Stages of Menopause with Niamh Daly – 40hrs

2025: Yoga for Bone Health with Niamh Daly – 15hrs

Under the regular guidance of my wonderful teacher, Paul Whelan, I continue to learn from and experience the benefits of yoga asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing) and dhyana (meditation).  

My passion lies in creating welcoming spaces, where people can drop out of the fast pace of life and enjoy moving, breathing and resting, with present-moment awareness.  I want to help people – including children – discover their inner resources, cultivate compassion, and preserve their innate sense of wonder. I will continue to provide our community with a selection of classes, activities and workshops led by professional facilitators that are accessible to everyone. There is no fancy equipment or special clothing required. TheYurt is a simple space for simple practices to keep us connected to what is real!

Those who know me would likely describe me as an easy-going, good humoured, open-minded person – a good listener who loves working with children. My classes and workshops are relaxed and inclusive and I am always open to ideas and suggestions of how we make the most of this beautiful space.

Le meas,

Pamela

Having been to TheYurt for a SoundBath I can’t recommend it highly enough. The setting and the yurt are both beautiful and Pam is such a kind and lovely lady.
I really enjoy Pamela’s online classes. Her knowledge of yoga and her understanding & friendly nature make for a really great class.
Walking into TheYurt feels like coming home after a long day at work. Pamela’s warm greeting will lift your spirit before you even reach your mat. During the class, you can really forget about everyone else around you and be present for yourself. Pamela is a wonderful and wise teacher who will gently guide you on your yoga journey. The Yurt is now my happy place.
I am a 79yr old woman and have always tried to stay active. However during the past 10 months, if it were not for my yoga class with Pamela once a week, I would probably have become a couch potato!! Her online yoga classes are fantastic, you're in the comfort of your own home and it's one hour of BLISS.
I took up yoga a little over a year ago to improve my flexibility and strength after 40 years spent behind a desk. I joined Pamela’s Yoga in the Yurt virtual classes in November and have loved them! Her classes are clear, progressive, varied and fun. She always spends time stretching and warming up the joints before moving to the lesson of the week, and finally closes with a relaxation which is truly relaxing.
She is very clear on how to do each pose and alternatives to make it easier or harder. I also appreciate that she never assumes you know yoga poses or terms, never makes it competitive (it is for YOU) and is always upbeat. Despite my novice status and general lack of strength, I never feel incompetent. And I can see real improvement as I practice Pamela’s lessons.
The classes are fun and helpful. You learn things about your body and mind and more importantly you get to know yourself better too.
I have learned that it’s ok to feel angry and sad but you need to know how to deal with that. Yoga has helped me to control my anger. Whenever I feel upset I think of how to let things go.
