Fantastic experience: Felt brand new after Brenda’s yoga nidra. I couldn’t believe it when she said the session was over because it had only just started! Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Brenda is one in a million. I have been going to her for massages for 16 years and she is amazing

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Brenda for private group yoga classes. She has such a lovely energy and calmness that really shines in her class. Arranging a suitable time and location was easy and communication back and forth was always very prompt! Thanks so much again, Brenda!

Fantastic experience: I loved the week rise and shine .. what a great way to start the day with a bit of lovely brenda.. nice gentle yoga, with a bit of mediation and some juicy reads and information sent to keep you in tune for the day.. Thanks so much for setting me straight and getting me into a routine .. it was well needed. x

Fantastic experience: Attended Brenda's Rise and Shine yoga classes this week. Brilliant way to start the day. A half hour of stretching, breathwork and meditation what more could you ask for. Well worth doing to have a positive start to the day.

Fantastic experience: Thank you Brenda for a lovely start back into Yoga again, I really missed it. I got so much out of the week, I feel energised, and focused. I'm looking forward to Rise and Shine in Greece!

Fantastic experience: Brenda has been a source of calm and peace in my life for the past 8 years and I am so grateful that she was recommended to me. Her approach to yoga is supportive and encouraging, with a focus on taking space in the chaos that life can be. She has a naturally positive energy that creates a lovely atmosphere in each class. I am looking forward to my next class, always.

Fantastic experience: Brenda is a very talented practitioner and teacher. Her knowledge of applying restorative yoga (as well as other healing modalities) to improve overall wellbeing (especially vis-a-vis women's health) is impressive. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to (re) connect with themselves and with the lovely community she cultivates through her work.

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a session with Brenda and it was truly transformative. The combination of massage and yoga therapy provided by Brenda was both soothing and rejuvenating. Her expertise in both fields is evident, and she tailored the session perfectly to my needs as I have a number of sports related injuries. I left feeling incredibly relaxed, with a renewed sense of balance and well-being. I highly recommend Brenda.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Brenda in the Ananda Centre for the last 10 years. First for massage and later, for yoga. Her restorative yoga classes always leave me feeling so grounded, connected to myself and the present moment. Brenda’s voice, presence & energy are soothing and relaxing, and filled with wisdom. Highly recommend her services ✨

Fantastic experience: Love going to Brenda for a massage, a treat for the body and soul, a totally holistic approach, the chat is nearly as healing as her hands

Fantastic experience: A yoga class with the Ananda Centre is truly one of the kindest gifts you can give yourself. Brenda is an exceptional yoga teacher who understands that her students have varying abilities and happily modifies poses to make sure that everyone can practice in a way that is best and safest for them. Her classes are welcoming, friendly and nonjudgmental and usually end with a blissful Savasana and Yoga Nidra.

Fantastic experience: When suddenly we feel the impulse to take ones way of thinking to a whole new level of awareness, we need a guide who knows the way. Brenda is a flood light

Fantastic experience: Brenda is such a grounded and talented therapist... Whether it is working her massage magic or instilling deep relaxation through her restorative yoga... One thing is for sure however I enter Ananda... I always float out!

Fantastic experience: Brenda has healing hands. She takes a holistic approach to massage therapy.. not just focused an the ailment that may have brought you to her... rather the full picture. I alway leave light in spirit. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Brenda is a wonderful teacher I discovered her on line yoga during lock down & have dipped in & out of classes since then. she has the ability to include everyone in keeping mobile regardless of their fitness level or knowledge of yoga she introduced me to restorative yoga & her love of nature is contagious.

Fantastic experience: I enjoyed a full on Yoga Retreat with Brenda on Silver Island in Greece! It was a blast! Brenda is a heartwarming, openminded, humorous teacher who‘s always open for new aspects and points of views. Her teaching methods are gentle suggestions and offers on how to see and perceive things differently. I had a time full of new experiences and new perceptions with yoga nidra, meditation and Hatha Yoga. Brenda guides gently through her offered exercises and spreads a lot of warmth which allows your brain to wander, heal and search. She‘s very comforting, communicative, interested and always down for a good laugh. I‘ll definitely enjoy yoga classes with her again. No matter when and where <3

Fantastic experience: Brenda is my go too, I couldn’t live without her. Such an amazing therapist. X

Fantastic experience: Brenda has a a huge heart and passion for anything she does and anyone that practices alongside her will feel these positive vibrations straight away. Her gentle soul and sheer honesty in anything she speaks about always blows me away. She is everything that wellness should be

Fantastic experience: I have had massage with Brenda... Taken restorative yoga classes with Brenda..... Been in her presence when recording live podcasts... And trained with her in Restorative Yoga... There are not many yogis as skillful as her, as knowledgeable as her, with a lived wisdom of her art.... She is also absolutely lovely company, makes everyone feel at ease and manages to be so humble while being an absolutely unbelievably skillful practitioner.... If you are looking for a yoga teacher, yoga teacher trainer or massage therapist this woman is amazing...... ❤️ ❤️

Fantastic experience: I couldnt recommend massage therapy with Brenda highly enough. She is brilliant.

Fantastic experience: Yoga classes at Ananda Centre are really relaxing and for all levels of experience. The teacher Brenda is so friendly, knowledgeable, approachable to ask questions during or after class. 5 stars from me

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending Brenda’s Yoga classes for the past few months and I just love them . I have tried yoga a few times over the years but never stuck with it. Brenda is a great teacher and her classes are relaxing and fun. I’ll definitely keep going.

Fantastic experience: Just finshed Rise and Shine with Brenda of the Ananda Centre. What a wonderful way to wake up and start the 2nd week of my holidays such a revelation of doing things differently. Starting the day with a tone of self care centredness and a promise of 'First - Self Care' to then respond to your life as it unravels moment by moment. Loved it thank you Brenda . Helen Smyth

Fantastic experience: Always a wonderful experience with Brenda, her hot stone massage is so relaxing you can't help but feel like you're floating for days after it. The whole vibe of the space is so grounding and peaceful - I love it!:: Will be booking my next one !!

Fantastic experience: Brenda is one of most beautiful yoga teachers I have had the pleasure to meet. Her classes and workshops are always beautifully put together. I always come away feeling so much better in myself for the experience of her grace and her compassion in all she gifts us with. From one yoga teacher to another thank you Brenda for your service

Fantastic experience: I started yoga about 15 weeks now and I really enjoy it , it helps me to relax and zone out from my busy mammy routine , I would highly recommend Brenda, she is brilliant and her classes are very good.

Fantastic experience: Brenda is my wellbeing rock. I’ve been to many yoga classes/workshops and massages over the years. She has a wealth of knowledge in the area and imparts it in such a wonderful way , she makes you feel unique and of value. She shares her own personal insights which enhance her therapies. I love having her in my life , her emails are like a way of sunshine in this crazy world. I’m so blessed to know her and have her ray of light shinning brightly in my life.

Fantastic experience: Brenda is such a fantastic teacher and massage specialist. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I had the best restorative yoga retreat with Brenda. She creates a magical space and practice for everyone!

Fantastic experience: “Magic hands Brenda” amazing therapeutic massage. Relaxing but also manages to hit the spot on an ages old dodgy shoulder. Can’t recommend Brenda and the Ananda centre highly enough. Calm and professional

Fantastic experience: I would need at least five pages to be able to even fit in a small percentage of all the AMAZING ways Brenda has helped change my life for the better . She is incredible at what she does. From yoga ( all types) to massage to meditation . She knows EVERYTHING !!! And if she doesn’t she will make it her business to search out an alternative way of helping her clients . She is quite literally one of the best health care professionals I know .

Fantastic experience: Brenda's massages are absolutely amazing! They make me feel like I'm floating on air. The only downside is that I don't get to experience them as often as I'd like since she moved back to the east coast. But whenever I have the chance, I make sure to fit a massage into my schedule, either on this side of the country when Brenda runs a wellbeing day in Galway, or on a visit to Slane. I can't stress enough how highly I recommend her. And let me tell you, her Yoga Nidra is a whole other level of relaxation! All I can say is Om...

Fantastic experience: I've had the pleasure of experiencing a number of healing massage sessions and hot stone massage with Brenda at Ananda Centre a few times now and it's always a truly a transformative and rejuvenating experience. From the moment I walked into Brenda's treatment room, I was greeted with a sense of calm and serenity that set the tone for the entire session. Brenda is highly skilled in the art of massage therapy and she has a warm and intuitive presence that immediately puts me at ease. She always takes the time to listen to my concerns and preferences and the sessions are tailored to address my own specific needs. The massage itself is nothing short of magical, with the stress and knots melting away with each expert stroke, leaving me feeling lighter, more balanced and completely rejuvenated. The effects of the massage last well beyond the session itself and I always find myself carrying that sense of peace and well-being with me long after I have left her tranquil space and magic hands! I cannot recommend Brenda highly enough to anyone in need of healing and relaxation. Brenda's expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients are fantastic. I look forward to my frequent visits as part of my own self-care. I look forward to experiencing some of the other offerings that Brenda provides at the Ananda Centre in Slane.

Fantastic experience: I attended Brenda's fabulous yoga classes and several of her workshops. She is an amazing tutor and teacher. Not only does she obtain a wealth of knowledge in this area but she has a real gift for sharing it with others.

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent series of yoga therapy sessions with Brenda who greatly helped me find a lasting balance and flexibility. Brenda has a wealth of knowledge in well-being, which she delivers with patience, compassion and expertise. I would heartily recommend her!

Fantastic experience: Well so much positive things to say- Brenda’s voice, knowledge, care and attention to detail has me where I am today - strength in mind and body and a little bit of peace thrown in there sometimes I’ve been hooked for years and her one to one classes are amazing and addictive.

Fantastic experience: Brenda runs the most amazing classes catering to me as a (very mature) beginner, and experienced yogis at the same time with ease. Her Nidra classes are the most relaxing you can imagine, excellent for anxiety, stress or just self care and relaxation. Private sessions and massages are such a treat and I leave with so much more than I can explain, and so grounded. Brenda is all about the experience not the achievement and I always leave restored, relaxed, content and hopeful, with a few nuggets for the future. Do yourself a favour & join her mailing list for free content and offerings even if you never take a session with her. Namaste

Fantastic experience: We had the pleasure of partaking in a yoga class led by Brenda at my best friend's hen party recently and it was perfect! It was suitable for all ages and fitness levels, whether you practice yoga regularly or not. The class was like a breath of fresh air and I felt truly cleansed after it. Brenda is a fantastic instructor and seems like a genuine, warm, and funny person. She made everyone feel welcome and at ease immediately. The class was made more personal in relation to the bride to be and was full of strong female energy and emotion. I would 100% recommend Brenda and would love to come back and have another class with her! Thanks Brenda!

Fantastic experience: I booked Brenda for my sister’s Hen Do and the session was absolutely amazing. It was the perfect mix of stretching, fun, opening of spirits and forming connections as a group. Brenda was so lovely and genuine, I couldn’t have wished for a better yoga class. I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I booked Brenda for a Hen Party I was hosting in RockFarm Slane, she was so helpful throughout the planning process and amazing on the day. She came to the venue and hosted what was a perfect yoga session tailored to a hen group, everyone that took part enjoyed the session. I would highly recommend Brenda’s classes not only for personal but for an event as it was amazing.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I had such a wonderful time at Ananda Centre, it's the perfect oasis to chill out. We each got a wonderful massage from Brenda, which left us feeling so zen. Brenda makes you feel so welcome and looked after and tailors your treatment to suit you perfectly! Thanks Brenda, can't wait to visit again

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place for yoga for all levels. Very professional and friendly. Small groups make it relaxing and cosy. You work in your comfort zone. You leave this place as new person! Highly recommend
