We are excited to announce our collaboration with Salt & Soul Yoga Studio as our partner venue for the upcoming October/November 2023 training.
We are inspired by Rachel, the passionate owner of Salt and Soul, who founded the first yoga studio in the charming village of Strandhill, Sligo, seven years ago.
Rachel's unwavering dedication has led to the establishment of a talented team of teachers who offer a variety of weekly classes, workshops, courses, and events both within the studio and at various locations, creating a positive impact on the local community.
Seven years ago, Rachel returned from Australia with a dream to create something extraordinary in Strandhill. Little did she know, BeWell shared a similar vision for our Yin Yoga Teacher Training! We cannot wait to to bring our Yin Yoga Teacher Training @ Strandhill dream to life this October/November.
We invite you to join us in this beautiful space and let us help you transform your dream of becoming a Yin Yoga teacher into a reality!
Even before Strandhill gained its current popularity, Miriam, lead trainer of BeWell had been welcoming friends from around the globe to experience this little pocket of beauty on the West coast of Ireland...
'We'd pop up on day trips from Longford to watch surfers catching the waves during their mesmerising sunset sessions. We'd enjoy a delicious chowder at the local bar and treat ourselves to ice cream on hot days. Later, it exploded into a 'go to' surf and yoga hub with amazing cafes, salt+soul yoga studio and multiple healthy option eateries...'
Experience the invigorating embrace of the salty air as it caresses your skin, filling your lungs with the refreshing ocean breeze. Allow the sea water to awaken your senses and revitalise your body as you submerge yourself in the crystal-clear blue waters for a late Autumn Sea Swim.
At the end of a fulfilling day of exploration and excitement, find comfort and warmth by the cozy fireside. Embrace the camaraderie of new friendships as you share stories and laughter, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

Miriam O' Reilly
BeWell - Owner and Lead Trainer
BeWell-Yoga Teacher Training School
Join us on a journey to discover the beauty of wellness with Miriam, our founder and lead trainer at BeWell-Yoga Teacher Training School. With over 10 years of experience in empowering people to reach their ultimate potential through daily habits and practices that support personal wellbeing, Miriam's unwavering passion is contagious.
From Lake Como, Italy to Bali, Miriam has traveled the globe to attend training courses and retreats in ancient wellness skills rooted in Yoga, Meditation, Ayurveda, Mindfulness, Yoga Philosophy, and Sound Healing. Her journey led her to become an internationally recognized RYT-200 Yoga Teacher after studying intensively in Ubud, Bali in January 2015.
Miriam offered Vinyasa Flow Yoga lessons in the picturesque Lake Como, Milan, and Ticino, Switzerland, before her heart led her back home to Ireland in 2019. Since then, she founded BeWell-Ireland and the BeWell-Yoga Teacher Training School, training over 120 Yoga Teacher Trainees from around the globe.
Her innovative approach to teaching includes a hybrid mechanic, blending in-person and online elements, allowing for flexibility and accessibility for all trainees.
But Miriam's passion doesn't stop there. In September 2021, BeWell Longford, our brick-and-mortar Yoga Studio/Holistic Center, opened its doors, allowing us to serve the local community with our Yoga and Pilates classes, and Holistic treatments.
Miriam believed that operating a Yoga Studio/Holistic centre and teaching Yoga full time further supports the strength and quality of our teacher training programs.
'BeWell understands and serves the needs of our local community on a full time basis. We are plugged into the community and continue to improve our classes, workshops and teacher training courses as per their ongoing feedback. The people who invest in our studio weekly for their classes support us in the understanding of serving clients with Yin as per community needs rather than theory from textbooks.
This sets us apart from other courses with
-
yoga teacher trainers who teach Yoga as their full time job
-
yoga teacher trainers who have experience running Yoga studios
-
yoga teacher trainers who work with the public in person on an ongoing regular basis
-
yoga teacher trainers who run teachers trainings alongside workshops, events and weekly classes rather than back to back teacher trainings only
We cannot wait to support you on this journey through Yin @ the Stunning location of Strandhill, Sligo'. - Miriam

A Note from Miriam
"Strandhill and Sligo is easily one of my favorite weekend places in Ireland. I’ve spent years exploring Sligo and Donegal’s beaches and coastlines on the weekends.
There’s nothing like pitching up the camper, trying your hand at surfing, and then watching the sun set at one of the stunning remote beaches in this area. And not to forget the little campfire glowing, the dogs weary and satisfied snoring at your feet as you watch the last light of the day..."
We are so excited to have you join us on this transformative journey as we delve deeper into the practice of Yin Yoga, and explore the profound benefits it can bring to our minds, bodies, and spirits.
Namaste - BeWell
