Boost itReset for the week ahead with the perfect slice of calm and enjoy a 90-minute restorative yoga class in our new studio, Seomra Shanti. Feeling frustrated with the hustle and bustle of city life in London, Emma Sheridan (above) stumbled upon a yoga class in her local gym and instantly fell in love with the peace and tranquillity it brought her. Recognizing the significant role yoga played in her life, Emma Sheridan has taught all over the world and accumulated over 1,000 hours of learning over the past decade. Now, back in Ireland, she decided it was the perfect time to create her own off-grid yoga sanctuary, and thus Seomra Shanti was born. Located in Carrigallen, Co Leitrim, Seomra Shanti offers yoga classes for all ages and skill levels. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to join us for our first class on September 30th. Drop-ins are only €10 or you can purchase a bundle of six classes for €50. Check out the weekly schedule on our Instagram page, @seomra.shanti.

Wear itIrish women have fallen in love with artist and fashion designer Helen Steele’s vibrant aesthetic through her sell-out collaborations with Dunnes Stores. While her high-street collections are unique and affordable, don’t forget to keep an eye on Steele’s own label, especially if you have a special occasion coming up. We highly recommend the silk-satin stretch ‘Ziggy’ dress (€995), which brings Steele’s physical artwork to life in wearable form. The fabric of the dress was created by blending razor-bladed paint into waves of purple, pink, and blue on canvas, and then digitally transformed into a glorious fabric. This showstopper is available for purchase online, and the best part is that it’s one size fits all. Visit helensteele.com to get your hands on this stunning dress.
