Maitri Studio Belfast

The Mind-Body Spa is back at Maitri Studio, 12th September, for a REFRESH SPECIAL 💛

With a focus on practices to re-energise and embrace positivity 🌞

Tools to take away, to keep the benefits flowing once the Spa is over ✨

Plus tea & buns 🫖

The Mind-Body Spa is about making space for you to breathe and come back to your body. To restore and rest. Time out from worry, pressure, the demands of others, and the nagging demands, fears and criticisms of your own mind.

Across the afternoon you will be using a sequence of simple, effective practices to a balanced state of relaxed awareness. There will be a focus on breathing practices, with simple movements, and building in mindful reflection and imagination to get the best results.

Dr Clare Byrne is a certified Breath-Body-Mind™ teacher, Mind-Body Medicine Certified Practitioner, and a Chartered and Registered Psychologist.

Clare has been practicing as a forensic psychologist for nearly 20 years. Her interest in finding more flexible and accessible ways of working sparked an interest in body-based approaches to working with stress, trauma and adversity. Now mind-body practices have become part of her daily life.

Are you looking for a warm, welcoming and professional space where teachers and therapists of all backgrounds meet and work together?

At Maitri, we offer more than room rental. When you join the team, you enter a community of like-minded facilitators who meet a few times a year, share cups of tea in the office before sessions, support and learn from each other.

We love our Maitri community and are really looking forward to catching up with everyone as autumn draws in and the studio becomes busier again!

We often get asked what the ropes on the walls in the upstairs rooms are for!

They are used in some Iyengar Yoga classes which is an inclusive style of yoga taught by studio owner Claire and friends Annamarie, Rachel, Maura, Louise and a few more guest teachers dropping in across the year!

Maitri Studio is the home to Iyengar Yoga in Belfast and if you want to start your yoga journey and are not sure where, this style of yoga could be really helpful for you to get your head around what your body and mind can do! ✨

Join us for an introduction to the ancient practice of mantra and voice as tools for healing, grounding and inner connection on the 4th of October at Maitri ❤

Led by Julie Preston and open to everyone, this three hour workshop offers a nourishing space to explore the power of sacred sounds, chanting and vocal toning - no previous experience or singing ability is needed.

Mantras are ancient sound vibrations that help free you from the endless chatter in your mind, drawing you inwards to connect to your heart. Chanting and toning offer wonderfully accessible ways to access the many benefits of meditation without having to sit still or be quiet.

This will be a nourishing afternoon to enjoy time out for yourself to breathe, soften and reconnect with your inner voice, beyond all the endless to-do-lists and busyness of life.

The workshop will be a mix of discussion, learning and practicing together. Included will be gently body work to awaken your energy and free up your body for singing ; fun vocal warm up techniques to help you look after your voice ; sounded soothing breath work ; vocal toning ; mantra chanting and singing together with space throughout our time for learning, feedback, questions, and breaks. You will be introduced to the philosophies of Nada Yoga & Bhakti Yoga as paths to remembering who you are through sound and voice.

Join Julie and experience how just even a few minutes of vocal toning and chanting can shift your energy and stress for the whole day ✨yoga

In collaboration with the and reduced price available for its members ❤
