A Dublin yoga teacher is promoting positive exercise and mental health in the grip of the pandemic that has the world on social lockdown.
Maura Rath, whose yoga classes normally take place in Blackrock market, has been holding them online as many people are left working from home or social distancing.
She is holding the online classes in an effort to help the public with anxiety during the social distancing phase - and had more than 200 people join her on Monday morning!
Originally, Maura decided to hold the classes for her regular students but found that many more people were coming online to join in.
She will be holding the classes at 8am and 5pm every day via Instagram live on her account @Yogawithmaura.
Maura said: “Yoga really has the power to bring people together, and ease stress and anxiety using movement and breath, especially in challenging times such as these.
"I felt it was something I could do to give back and help ease collective anxiety.
"I have been overwhelmed with the positive response and invite anyone missing their regular yoga fix, or simply wants to give it a go, to escape for an hour. Come and play!”
