About Us

Warriorwavesyoga aspires to be a collective of like minded individuals, based on the Dingle peninsula, on the west coast of Ireland, dedicated to the yogic way.

Terry O’Connell has been a student of yoga for almost twenty-five years, and has practiced in the Iyengar, Asthanga, Aerial Flow and Vinyasa Flow styles.   He is a qualified yoga teacher, certified by the UK accreditation body, Yoga Alliance Professionals, and has a black belt in Traditional Shotokan Karate.

Terry teaches a combination of traditional Hatha style yoga and progressive Vinyasa Flow style yoga, depending on the needs of the class.  There is a particular emphasis on breathwork and balance in Terry’s classes, modified to level.   

In addition to open classes, Terry also teaches regular morning workshops at Misneach Studio in Lispole, on the beautiful Dingle Peninsula in Kerry.  Terry has a particular interest in breathwork and in modifications of asanas to allow for bodily limitations.

Terry has practiced aerial flow yoga for ten years and anticipates training as a teacher in this style.

Since 2023, when Misneach Studio was completed, Terry has been hosting small group workshops, teaching kriyas, hatha style yoga and some aerial flow.   The studio has capacity for seven yoga hammocks with twin point suspension.

My wife, Natalie Russell, uses the studio for dance classes.  The studio itself is in one of the old stone outbuildings near our house in Lispole, Co. Kerry.

This has been modified internally and in the roof structure to provide a safe, warm space with multiple hardpoints in the ceiling for aerial yoga, but without interfering with the stone structure and with respect for the original construction, materials and style.    The windows and doors were made to measure for me by my old friend, Eamonn McCarthy in Glens in the traditional style. It has a sprung floor for dancing and has fibre broadband for online classes.

For workshops, seven yoga hammocks can be hung from the 14’ (4.2m) ceiling.
