The Very Best in Yoga in Derry
The Holistic Healing and Counselling Centre in Derry / Londonderry was set up by Caitlín Gallagher in 1988. Caitlín began her career as a nurse, and then trained as a Social Worker. She became actively involved in Counselling from 1978 in a voluntary capacity. When she qualified in Reflexology and Massage she commenced her private practice. Later she trained in Yoga and Meditation.
Caitlín has been influenced by Native Americans healers whom she came into contact with while living in Canada for a few years. She has also been inspired by the training she has received from various Western and Eastern Masters in the Healing Arts. Caitlín is committed to on going professional development. At the Holistic Healing and Counselling Centre in Derry Caitlin enjoys offering a wide range of complementary therapies to suit the specific needs of clients in a welcoming environment.
Yoga
The word Yoga means union, the union of the mental, physical and emotional aspects of ourselves, and the union of all of creation as a whole. Yoga in Derry is an effective means to release the stresses of daily living and to replenish body, mind and spirit. Yoga creates greater clarity, inner peace and joy.
Yoga is a powerful tool for enhancing physical energy an vitality. People with back pain experience greater flexibility in the spine and joints and a significant improvement in overall body tension. Insomnia, depression, fatigue, and people experiencing various acute and chronic illnesses can benefit from yoga therapy.
Yoga in Derry is having a major impact not only in maintaining optimum physical well being, but also in stabilising emotional and mental health. Negative emotions such as fear and anger are transformed into their positive counterparts of courage and patience.
The Very Best in Yoga in Derry
Self-esteem and self confidence increase and people are better able to deal with conflict. This creates better family relationships and social relationships in general. Unhealthy lifestyle habits e.g. eating, smoking, and drinking can fall away through regular yoga practise.
The Yoga Classes in Londonderry contain Asana practise (the yoga postures), energy block release sequences, pranayama (breathing exercises), relaxation, visualisation and meditation. The movements are gentle yet powerful and fun to do, and are tailored to meet the needs of each season.
Yoga Classes in Derry are open to beginners and experienced yogis, both male and female, irrespective of age or flexibility. Mats and other Yoga accessories are provided within the classes free of charge.

latest reviews
I have been going to the Yoga classes run by this centre for two years (Travel Lodge Hotel on the Strand Road, Wednesday and Thursday nights 7.30pm - 9.00pm). Caitlin has a calm clear way of showing us the movements and encouraging us to stretch a little more but only at our pace. I feel much more flexible and strong and very rarely have lower back pain. I intend to keep going to the class for years.
Iʼve known Caitlin for about a year now and am pleased to see how much she enjoys what she does and how much effort she puts into the various therapies that she offers. She has a calming, relaxed manner and a great sense of humour and no doubt has a great number of loyal, regular and happy customers.
