Jenise started her yoga journey practicing 26&2 (Bikram) yoga in 2002 after a serious running accident, which had left her with chronic pain in her hip and back. Perseverance and commitment to her yoga practice has not only cured her pain but she's also so much stronger and more flexible. Her own yoga experience has given her a passion and desire to help others take care of themselves through the practice of Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin yoga. She's spent years working with students and teaching in numerous studios/businesses throughout Ireland, Switzerland and California. She loves the inspiration and healing yoga brings physically and mentally and she wants to bring that to those she teaches.
Jenise completed 26&2 (Bikram) Teacher Training in 2008, Yin Yoga in 2016, Intermediate Hatha Yoga 2019, The Untraining Hybrid 2020, Yoga For Menopause 2020, Hatha Flow 2021.
She lives in Blessington and loves foraging and creating food and medicine from what she finds. She's also a lover of cold water swimming and a Lurchers!

Jenise O'Brien
MalĂș is a Mexican natural dyer and designer living in West Wicklow, Ireland. She inherited her name and a calling for textile art from her mum and grandmother. In 2018 she began her experimentations and research in natural dyes. She's had the honour of studying with master dyers from Mexico, Ireland, the US and Japan.
Her work draws inspiration from the traditional garments of her native Mexico, while embracing the rich heritage of Irish textiles. By working slowly and mindfully, she aims to build an intimate connection with each of her dye sources, as well as the Land where they grow.
Thanks to her background in graphic design, she's an avid systems thinker, constantly dreaming up ways to dismantle the interconnected systems of oppression behind climate change and social injustice.
