Miriam O' Reilly
BeWell - Owner and Lead Trainer
BeWell-Yoga Teacher Training School
Miriam began her wellness journey over 10 years ago in Lake Como, Italy, where she lived for about 8 years.
Her unwavering passion lies in empowering people to reach their ultimate potential through daily habits and practices that support their personal wellbeing journey.
Miriam has ventured across the globe, attending training courses and retreats in Italy, Spain, Morocco, Sri Lanka, and Bali to learn and embrace the 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.
Following her training, Miriam offered Vinyasa Flow Yoga lessons in and around the picturesque Lake Como, Milan, and Ticino, Switzerland. However, her heart led her back home to Ireland in 2019, where she founded BeWell-Ireland and the BeWell-Yoga Teacher Training School.
Since then, Miriam has proudly delivered the BeWell Yoga Teacher Training program 12 times, 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.
'BeWell Longford (our brick-and-mortar Yoga Studio/Holistic Center) opened its doors in September 2021. We are very excited to finally have our own headquarters where we can serve the local community with our Yoga and Pilates classes, and Holistic treatments. Operating a Yoga Studio/Holistic centre further supports the strength and quality of our teacher training programs.'

Founder: @Luuna.Collective
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.
