ANOIS YOGA is a collaboration with Louise and two other Sligo Yoga teachers Blaithin Sweeney and Cathi Murphy . Louise, Cathi and Blaithin have worked and studied together many times over the years but when their yoga community came into crises they decided to unite and create an online yoga studio that would maintain the connection with their community while sustaining their business. Together they have created ANOIS YOGA, an online offering that focuses on the connection with the community and supports the wellbeing needs of their students.

Subscribers to the community will have access to daily live Online Yoga classes, weekend workshops, community online gatherings plus the flexibility of access to recordings and pre-recorded classes. ANOIS YOGA offers a wide range of yoga styles, mindfulness and meditation practices and are delivered in a way that is user friendly and suitable to all levels of practitioner from beginner to experienced yogi.
Making community and connection core values to their business this collaboration has found an inclusive way to reach people that are struggling in isolation and are having to adapt to these challenging times. As part of their ongoing outreach community programme they are offering Free Live Chair yoga classes for everyone for the duration of the Level 5 lockdown. As the senior generation can be left behind as society moves online, the call is to encourage carers/ nurses and those who are in a bubble with seniors to become Yoga-Buddies, to help set up the laptop or tablet, help organise the chair safely and restore some sense of independence and self-control.
