About Orla

Orla has been teaching yoga and mindfulness in Belfast and abroad for almost two decades. Over that time she has created courses and workshops for Queens University Belfast and Stranmillis University College Belfast among others. 

Orla started out with a BA in fine art in 2001. Since taking her first yoga teacher training in 2006, she has done thousands of hours training in various yoga and mindfulness traditions, studying with traditional schools in India and more predominantly with teachers from the Scaravelli tradition. For the past 10 years, Angela Farmer has been her main yoga teacher.

Orla is a firm believer in learning through play and learning from nature. She is passionate about how consistent practice can help us live happier, more embodied, fully engaged lives. Her yoga classes are student centred and incorporate elements of yoga philosophy. Her classes have been described as playful, mindful and creative. All ages and abilities are welcome.
