Aideen
Pilates instructor
Neuromuscular Therapist
Specialising in Advanced Massage Techniques & Dry Needling
Reiki Facilitator
Aideen is a Holistic Therapist specialising in Advanced Massage techniques and Dry
Needling. Aideen has spent her early career as a Sports Massage therapist and worked
alongside many football and rugby teams. In 2017, Aideen took part in a mentorship
programme with the Pro Sport Academy in Manchester which catapulted her understanding
of movement in the human body and elevated her hands-on skills.
Towards the end of 2019, she began to realise that the path to healing pain, stiffness, injury
is multifaceted. She began to study the emotional and psychological factors that contribute
to pain in the body, whether recovering from an injury or just living with chronic pain. She
began to explore Mindfulness and Reiki healing therapy as effective ways to alleviate
symptoms of pain, by reducing stress and anxiety and discovered that healing is a mind,
body and spiritual journey. You cannot fully heal one without addressing the others.
Aideen discovered Pilates after struggling with a lower back issue since her teens, which
had left her unable to run any distance or do even simple tasks such as bending down and
standing for long periods. Through Pilates, she was able to strengthen the smaller, deeper
muscles that are at the foundations of the exercises. Over time she has remained pain free
and able to run freely with no pain and most importantly, day to day tasks are no longer a
source of pain and discomfort.
Aideen’s approach to teaching Pilates is that of focusing on the foundations first, which are
alignment, ribcage and core engagement, coupled with many of the breathing and
mindfulness techniques she has learned over the years through various avenues of study.
She also believes exercise should be fun, so there is always room for a joke and some
laughs throughout her classes!
She is passionate about movement as a way to heal the body and mind and is a firm
believer that movement truly is medicine.
Emma Sheridan
@emmasheridanyoga
Founder: @SeomraShanti
Senior Yoga Teacher & Teacher Trainer
ERYT® 500
YACEP®
Emma discovered yoga in 2008 while living in London, where the fast-paced lifestyle left her feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and uninspired.
'Practicing yoga gave me a rare opportunity to slow down, connect with my body, and become introspective in a way I have never experienced before.'
Over time, the practice taught Emma how to have easier and steadier access to presence, awareness, intuition and self-connection. It sparked an inner shift that made her much happier, more peaceful, and more in touch with the love and wisdom at each of our core.
With a desire to live a healthy, purpose-filled life in service of something greater, Emma left London and embarked on her first teacher training in 2010 with Absolute Yoga in Thailand. Since then, she has led groups on transformative retreats to beautiful and exotic destinations, shared her expertise in rustic Yoga shalas in India and slick studios in South East Asia, and mentored teachers from all over the world.
Emma draws from current research, somatic meditation, tantric yoga philosophy, and the many inspirational teachers, guides and mentors she has met along the way, including highly regarded international teachers Julie Martin and Emil Wendell in India in 2014, in the hope she can offer meaningful learning experiences to her students.
Emma has witnessed firsthand the transformative power of yoga, as individuals from all walks of life overcome their limitations and become more compassionate, awake, and connected humans. Emma's passion for yoga and its transformative power is the reason she loves what she does and why she wants to share it with you.
