Susan Farrell
Susan is from Swords, Co. Dublin and has had an interest in health and well-being from a young age. Curiosity drew her to her first yoga class at the age of 17, but she, like many, was mainly interested in the physical benefits at first. About 10 years later she turned to yoga when she hoped it would help with her anxiety. Susan went on to train in Dietetics, Reflexology and Indian head massage. It was in 2006 after a stressful time in which she found her Yoga practice very beneficial that she decided to do her initial 500hr teacher training with Yoga Therapy Ireland (YTI). Later, Susan then went back to YTI to do a Yoga Therapy Course. In 2018 she decided to update her skills with a 300hr training with Bryce Yoga at the Hot Yoga Dublin studio. She also did her Yin teacher training there with Josh Summers. In her spare time Susan enjoys chilling with a good book, loves reality TV, and is on the fundraising team with Chernobyl Children International.

Gayle was drawn to yoga at the age of 16 and it has been a grounding nurturing force in her life ever since. She completed her first teacher-training course with YTTC in 2005, then completed children’s yoga teacher training in 2007 with Yogabuddies. In 2008 Gayle completed her postgraduate teacher training with YTI, and in 2014 did the pregnancy teacher training with YTTC. 2016 will see Gayle completing The Elbow Room’s kid’s teacher training with more to come in the future!
Gayle believes that practicing and teaching yoga is a never-ending journey of learning, exploring and experiencing life.
