Why choose YogaVeda Living?
YogaVeda Living is not your typical Yoga studio. From your very first class, we assess your individual needs and work with you to design a practice to help you achieve greater flexibility, strength and balance.
Between them, David and Paula have over fifty years of experience teaching Yoga. You will be in safe hands – choose experts to guide your Yoga journey whether you are a beginner or a Yoga teacher. Our YogaVeda Method™ works through a series of integrated levels that build naturally over time. Postures are adapted to each person’s body and ability. Breathing practices improve focus, vitality, and balance. Meditation and relaxation support emotional steadiness and nervous‑system health.
As Paula and David have worked extensively with people of all ages and fitness levels, they can easily offer you therapeutic modifications if you are experiencing any pain or injury in the body.
What people say about our classes
Our aim at YogaVeda Living is to offer a totally inclusive environment that really fosters a strong sense of community. For us, this is a big part of Yoga and over the years, it has been wonderful to watch friendships (and sometimes even romances and marriages!) blossom in our little Yoga community. We have been based in Blackrock since opening in 2002. Several of our students have been with us for many years now attending regular classes and courses, and many travel abroad with us for holidays on our annual Summer retreat.

I have been practicing with Paula and David for about 6 years, learning all about Yoga - the physical postures, breathing and pranayama and the philosophy and history behind it. I can say that it has been an absolutely fantastic and life-changing experience.

It’s very peaceful when you come here. You learn a lot each time you are in a class and it’s just a really nice environment to be in. David and Paula are very passionate about their teaching – they walk the talk – they practice all these things themselves – it’s very genuine

Yoga is a prescription for life. As a medical doctor, after years of clinical practice, I can advise it as the best form of preventative medicine.

From the moment I stepped foot in David and Paula’s shala in Blackrock my life changed. David and Paula are two of the most knowledgeable, genuine, devoted yogi’s that I have met. I am so grateful for their guidance in my own practice, which has stayed with me, as I continue to teach, study and practice daily. I wholeheartedly recommend their teaching, whether for a daily class, workshop or training - be open, just step in, I guarantee you won’t regret it!

FAQ's about the YogaVeda (YV) Method™ classes How does the YV Method™ Rise & Energise block work?To join the Rise & Energise class, students sign up for a block of 2 classes per week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6am. Each block is usually 8 weeks long. The format of the classes is the same as the YV Method™ flexibility & balance class. See next question. Passes for these classes are not valid for any other class. What is a YV Method™ Flexibility and Balance class?In this class you will receive personalised guidance within a supportive group setting. Each student is taught as an individual, with practices tailored to their ability, age, and current state of health. Movements, breathwork, and pacing are adapted so everyone can work safely and meaningfully at their own level. The atmosphere is calm, inclusive, and grounded in mindful attention. Students of all different ages and levels of expertise practise alongside each other. Suitable for everyone. What is a YV Method™ Yoga Foundations Class?This gentle, guided session is designed to help you release the day, reset your body, and rest easier at night. Learn foundational poses, connect with your breath, and build confidence at a pace that feels right for you. What is a YV Method™ Stretch and Reset?In this class the emphasis is on holding postures for a longer time, finding the stillness in each pose, allowing muscles to relax and working deeper into fascia/ connective tissue. A very slow-paced class focusing mainly on seated and supine postures. A soothing hour on a Monday evening that totally resets the nervous system - you will leave feeling so much more grounded and relaxed. What is a YV Method™ Strength class?Unless we take steps to counteract it, loss of muscle mass and bone density begins around age 30. Resistance training of sufficient intensity is required to counteract this natural decline and build muscle mass and bone density. It is therefore vital that we incorporate strength work into our weekly routine. This class is a vital component of the YV method™ - an essential complement to our flexibility and balance classes. It is a mix of Yoga postures and movements using resistance and weights. What is a YV Method™ Agility class?This is a functional movement class designed to work multiple muscle groups using compound exercises - a fluid and fun way to combine strength, flexibility and balance into agility. A perfect complement to our other YV Method™ classes, completing a comprehensive programme of bodywork to create a healthy, energetic, playful and joyful life.
