Sinéad Mooney

Sinéad Mooney, known as Moons (a nickname that comes from her maiden name), has worked in the wellbeing industry for over a decade. She is a Certified Meditation Trainer, Senior Yoga Teacher, Certified Life Coach, guest speaker and studio owner, and she teaches from her own boutique studio in Blackrock, Dublin, Moons Yoga Loft, which focuses on mindful movement and meditation. She also teaches internationally and online.

Before teaching full time, she spent over ten years in advertising as a TV Producer while studying and training on the side. She then spent six years in the Australian wellness industry, with the aim of helping build Ireland's wellbeing culture back home. Her own website says she has won awards for her teaching and was asked to be one of Ireland's Lululemon Ambassadors. She says her own experience of overcoming a lengthy eating disorder, family trauma and major upheaval drives her wish to help others build coping mechanisms for the intensity of modern life.

Her yoga and meditation experience spans Vinyasa and Hatha, prenatal yoga, and several types of meditation and mindfulness. She keeps training so she can follow emerging psychological and physiological research. Her passion is to bring ancient wisdom traditions together with internationally recognised teachings and offer them in modern, accessible formats. Her classes are light, fluid and focused on gratitude, with a playful, curious and authentic approach.

Alongside classes, she runs yoga teacher trainings, online meditation courses, life design coaching, workplace wellbeing programmes for corporate clients, and yoga holidays in Europe. She has also been named Wellbeing Ambassador for Carton House Fairmont. She describes her approach as stillness first, then strategy, and as an anti-wishy-washy take on wellness.
