Begin Your Meditation Practice


Sleep meditation is a guided meditation designed specifically to help people fall asleep faster and get more restful sleep. As a relaxation technique, it can quiet the mind, relieve stress and anxiety, and bring you into a calm and peaceful state of mind.

7-Day Meditation Series is a guided meditation series that combines the science of mindfulness with the art of focused attention and contemplative practices to help you ease into stillness and return to it throughout your busy day.


By creating more awareness of the present moment, I believe you can find more clarity, creativity, and compassion in all aspects of your life.

MEET YOUR TEACHER

Karolina Krzemianowska founder of Inner Light Yoga

Hi there, I’m Karolina O'Brien, and I’ve spent the last 11 years as a professional yoga teacher helping people from all walks of life cultivate healthy habits, manage stress, find inner peace, and embrace mindfulness through yoga. 


I’m the founder of Inner Light Yoga, and I’ve personally helped thousands of clients discover the life-changing benefits of this amazing skill for themselves.


I’m passionate about wellbeing, and I believe in creating personalized programs and workshops, along with specially-tailored lessons designed to make yoga accessible to everybody. I’ve also published over 150 free yoga classes on Youtube, so you can discover a class that suits your needs – no matter your experience, body type, fitness level, mobility or personality.


I hope to build a thriving, wholesome community of like-minded people where we can build each other up and support each other. I also provide classes for corporate clients to help even the busiest people release stress, find inner balance and cultivate positive thoughts.


When I’m not teaching, I love to grow my own food, practice art and web design, and spend time in nature with my husband. I was born in Poland, but I’ve spent the last 13 years in the beautiful country of Ireland. I hope to see you in one of my classes soon!

My aim is to motivate change and inspire healthy habits so that we can build a strong and wholesome community.

testimonials

from Karolina's students and clients

"Karolina, our Yoga Teacher was excellent. I loved her style of teaching. Her instructions were very clear and she coped extremely well given the restrictions Covid made on how she would normally teach a class. It was not a problem to her and I feel we all benefited enormously under her tutelage. Karolina was also very generous in sharing "information with us in a follow-up email. The highlight from a Yoga point of view was a class we had on flat rocks down by the sea in idyllic weather, which we followed with a swim on Fanore beach."

Ann

"She always had a lovely calming nature, voice and made each session an absolute pleasure. She is highly experienced and very knowledgeable in her practice. I thoroughly enjoyed her educational workshop style classes. It meant you come away with knowledge that you can use to implement into your own daily yoga practice. It was nice to have time to hangout with her throughout the weekend to chat and ask questions which she always answered well. She is open to ideas and perspectives, and she's always open to other points of view. I highly recommend her as your yogi instructor & meditation practices."

Carl Greene

Inner Light Yoga is great in many ways. I have been doing many of the yoga classes via zoom over the last few months and I love it. I also enjoyed the coffee morning meeting last Saturday regarding how to boost our immune system. Highly recommended.

Sandra Hamilton

"Karolina is fantastic instructor who has great patience and nice approach to her students.She explains every posture clearly which makes the practice deeper at physical as well as mental level. I would recommend Karolina's classes to anyone who would like to start the journey with yoga and also to practicing yogis.

Magda

”Karolina, I wish to say thanks a million for a fantastic prenatal yoga class today. It was very relaxing and helped ease any muscle tension I had. I am delighted I had an opportunity to attend your class before I have my baby as I feel I will be able to use parts of the class to help me during labour. I wish to say thanks again, I will be recommending the class to my friends.”

Catriona

"Karolina encouraged me to be curious and explore postures, not to adopt a one size fits all approach, this makes the practice very safe. The classes are intense, the work goes deep, but there is always time for a long and beautiful relaxation at the end of each class."

In Class We focus on:

Alignment

My aim is to help you develop body awareness and learn proper alignment based on yoga and anatomy principles. I will provide corrective feedback when necessary and give modifications for injuries.


Breath

I will help you connect movement to breath to enhance your practice. You will learn to develop healthy breathing patterns that promote parasympathetic nervous system, which is the relaxation state. These techniques are scientifically proven to reduce stress and anxiety.


Meditation

This technique of quieting the mind goes hand in hand with yoga. Meditation is never about perfection, it's a training in awareness. I will incorporate meditation into our classes by using a mindful breathing meditation technique. Learn to create an alertness of consciousness. 


Stress Management

Yoga is the perfect antidote for stress. I will teach you ways to learn how to reduce tension through meditation, specific poses, relaxation techniques and Yoga Nidra. Looking for the key to getting better sleep and strengthening your immune system? Become more resilient through managing your stress.


Posture

Do you find that you are often hunched over? Are you experiencing a weak core or even flat feet? Yoga will help you develop body awareness which will aid in creating good posture. Strengthen your core and stand tall. Having correct posture gives confidence and is also good for self-esteem. Give your back and your soul a lift.


Mindfulness

Gratitude is one of the tenets of yoga. Mindfulness is about being present in each moment, and paying attention to what is happening right here and right now. I will help you focus your attention on the things in your life that will inspire gratitude and help you appreciate moments both big and small.
