Run By Women

As a keen runner having completed 3 marathons, many half marathons and lots of fun runs over the years, I made a decision 18 months ago to have a change of life style. I completed my certificate 3 and 4 in personal training and set up my business, Run by Women. Exercise has always played a big part in my life and I fully understands the physical and mental benefits that come as a result of incorporating regular exercise into your week. My key area of interest is training people outside in the fresh air. Whether that be functional movement with free weights for women over 40, boot camps for teenage girls or a city run group after work the purpose is to get people connecting, exercising and feeling strong. Run By Women is all about empowering women to exercise together, form... Read the profile >>

Shannon Barry

Grassroots Yoga

As a complete novice and admittedly having very little knowledge of yoga and yoga philosophy, the experience of my first hot yoga class is something I will remember for the rest of my life. It is amazing what one long hot yoga class can do to change your personal views. It is even more astounding what a committed and continued hot yoga practice can do for your outlook in a wider context. I was hooked; I had found a new passion in life. Becoming a yoga teacher wasn’t foremost on my mind after that first class but certainly sharing what I had experienced was. So, I told everyone I knew that ‘I now do yoga!’ I started my hot yoga journey with Bikram yoga. My curiosity heightened over the years until I discovered the diversity and freedom that is Moksha Yoga. In July 2007, I decided... Read the profile >>
