Malvina Yoga & Pilates Studio (Loughrea)

Fantastic experience: I absolutely loved taking pregnancy Pilates classes with Malvina. She created such a calm and supportive environment, always tailoring the workouts to how we were feeling each day. Whether it was back pain, pelvic discomfort, or just sheer exhaustion, Malvina always had the perfect exercise to help. After each session, I felt stronger, more relaxed, and more connected to my body throughout my pregnancy. Being able to chat and connect with other women on their own pregnancy journeys was also incredibly reassuring during moments of doubt. I’m so grateful for the experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Malvina to any expecting mammas!

Fantastic experience: Malvina's Yoga & Pilates studio has been a place of solace and space to maintain my strength when I'm home from Australia on holidays. Malvina's warm and friendly approach makes you feel comfortable instantly, so attending alone is a breeze (a laugh during class is always guaranteed too, even during a challenging move ). If you attend Malvina's Yoga or Pilates classes you will always leave feeling so much better mentally and physically stronger than when you went in ✨️

Fantastic experience: I love Malvinas classes, she is an incredible teacher. I found that she really helped me with my posture and form during classes. Her sessions are very relaxing, friendly, and enjoyable. I highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: I was practicing yoga abroad for years and wanted to get back to it having moved to Loughrea recently. Very happy with Malvina, she is a great yoga teacher, highly attentive to everyone's needs and abilities, whilst making you progress at every session!

Fantastic experience: Malvina creates an incredibly warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. What truly sets Malvina apart is her exceptional knowledge and understanding of the unique needs of pregnant women. She expertly guided us through a variety of stretches and exercises specifically tailored to alleviate common pregnancy complaints, providing relief and support.

Fantastic experience: I first walked into Malvina's Yoga + Pilates studio two months ago after booking a local cottage for a holiday rental. I was warmly welcomed by Malvina and immediately felt at home in her bright and welcoming studio. I've been taking both yoga and pilates classes each week and have noticed much improvement in my flexibility and reduced back pain. Malvina is an excellent instructor who gives clear guidance and provides alternate options for each movement or sequence, which allows each participant to gradually advance from beginner to advanced levels. I highly recommend visitors, or new residents, check out the studio, which is conveniently located in Loughrea town; plenty of parking is available behind the studio. You won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Malvina for Pilates for over a year now. She is so professional and knowledgable. Malvina goes above and beyond to deliver an amazing class every time which is suited to all abilities. She has created a studio that has such a welcoming environment where everyone feels comfortable.

Fantastic experience: I attended Yoga/Pilates classes pre-baby, while pregnant and with baby so full circle, and I leave each class feeling so much better mentally and physically. Malvina creates a very welcoming atmosphere, takes time to listen and advise, and really knows her stuff! Classes can be booked online so it's very straightforward to book in. Malvina's studio & classes are the perfect space to have some time to breathe and calm the mind. And also share experiences, connect with others and find a new community. Definitely recommend Malvina's classes.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing! I started with joga and than Malvina recommended Pilates, which for whatever reason I thought is for ladies only ...few weeks after joining pilates, all my issues with my lower back were gone... On top of that Malvina is an amazing person and instructor! Well recommend.

Fantastic experience: I am very lucky to have discovered Malvina. It has been part of my weekly routine every week to go to Yoga and Pilates in Loughrea, as part of my physical and mental wellbeing.

Fantastic experience: Malvina helped me to overcome mobility problems with my knee joints after a bout of Covid two years ago. After a few months this had cleared up and I started attending 5 classes per week and continue to do so. Malvina constantly reminds us not to force any movement and to ease into any stretch. She instils a conscious awareness of how to prevent injury. Malvina is always supportive and encouraging and brings a warm and lighthearted atmosphere to each class.

Fantastic experience: As someone who has always been very active, training both in Crossfit and Strongwoman, I knew I needed to add something to balance out my training, and take my strength, mobility and recovery to another level.. enter Malvina Yoga & Pilates studio. Starting pilates with Malvina has been such a benefit to me, particularly since I started competing both at national & international level in the sport of Strongwoman. Malvina's classes are now part of my weekly routine and I wouldn't be without it. All levels are catered for, a wide variety of classes in the weekly timetable and the beautiful studio is a haven for everyone who enters. Of course it wouldn't be possible without the wonderful owner Malvina, coupled with her wonderful personality and great humour, plus years of experience in the industry, you will be in the best of hands. If you are thinking about trying a class..do it!!

Fantastic experience: Malvina's Pilates & Yoga classes are excellent & I would highly recommend as it has really helped my core, muscles & body. Classes certainly worth looking into.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoying the Yoga and Pilates classes at Malvina’s! The vibe is super chill and welcoming, Malvina is friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to help with adjustments or modifications if needed. It’s a nice mix of movement and mindfulness, and I’ve noticed a big difference in my strength and flexibility since I started. I’ve no more lower back pain, and look forward to classes every week. The space is clean and calming, which makes it easy to relax and focus. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a good spot to move, stretch, and recharge.

Fantastic experience: Malvina is a wonderful yoga and Pilates instructor. She teaches with care, confidence and pushes you to the limit where you leave the class feeling inspired and motivated. Grateful to have her studio in Loughrea!

Fantastic experience: I was delighted to find the mother and baby Pilates class with Malvina in Loughrea. It’s a great chance to get out of the house with the little ones and do some gentle exercise to help rebuild the core strength with a brilliant teacher. I love meeting the other mums and babies and the class provides an opportunity to share experiences and feel supported. It’s also great going for coffee with the other mums afterwards. Highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I have attended Pilates, both pregnancy and mum & baby and have loved both. Malvina offers an amazing class in both pregnancy and after pregnancy with your baby. She has created a calm and friendly space in her studio. She gives amazing advice both at the little pre session check in and throughout the class. In a busy world being pregnant it is an hour for just you in a lovely environment and becomes a fun place for you and your baby. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Over the past year, I have attended both Malvina’s pregnancy Pilates and mum and baby Pilates classes. During my pregnancy, Malvina always ensured the exercises were modified to aid with any pregnancy issues: PGP, rib flare, etc. She also provided us with a safe space to speak about our concerns or ask any questions that were on our minds. I joined her mum and baby Pilates class once I was cleared by the physio and it has been lovely to continue to journey with the mums with our little ones in tow. Again Malvina gives us the space to chat about our baby woes whether it be sleep, teething, wind, etc. and offers great advice. Her class provides a gentle workout for us postpartum mums. I highly recommend!
