About Me

Hi! My name is Orla Walsh. I am a qualified yoga teacher with a big passion for helping people feel stronger, more mobile and more relaxed through movement and mindful practice. My teaching approach is aimed at being welcoming and adaptable, with the goal of everyone feeling accomplished and confident.

Outside of yoga, I enjoy travelling, painting and spending time in nature. I love going for hikes and exploring new places. Before becoming a yoga teacher, I worked as a primary school teacher, where I developed a passion for helping people learn and feel confident in themselves. This experience has shaped my approach to teaching yoga in a positive and supportive way.

I am so happy to be part of the BodyKinetics team and I look forward to meeting you all and sharing the benefits of yoga!
