The Ayurveda and Yoga centre in Bandon, Co.cork, Ireland is managed by Marie Mills; a trained Ayurvedic therapist, nutritionist and yoga teacher. Her initial training was with Contemporary Yoga where she learned to trust her intuition and to work primarily from her heart. This allowed the timeless wisdom of yoga to be integrated into her practice and teaching on a very deep level and has been invaluable, not only in her own inner growth, but also that of her clients.

Her training with YogaKids™ further enhanced her skills and understanding and enabled her to teach Yoga to children of all ages. This has been a constant source of joy and fulfillment as she never ceases to be amazed at the simple awareness and honesty which allows children to incorporate the knowledge of Yoga into their lives so easily. To see the energy, vitality, intelligence and good health that result from following a few simple practices is more that enough to maintain her own enthusiasm and desire to learn more about this wonderful wisdom of health and longevity.

Since Yoga; the science of awareness, breathing, posture and exercise and Ayurveda; the science of health and longevity, are sister disciplines she has also incorporated Ayurveda into her practice. She spent several years studying this ancient knowlege with two world-renowned Ayurvdic practitioners, Vaidya Atreya Smith and Dr David Frawley of the European Institute of Vedic Studies. Through their wisdom, teaching and guidance she has learnt many practical skills that are invaluable for helping her clients achieve perfect health and balance in mind, body and spirit - the ultimate goal of both Ayurveda and Yoga.

She continues in her role as administrator for Contemporary Yoga and as tutor on their Yoga courses, but her main focus has become the teaching of Ayurveda. She offers Ayurvedic lifestyle and dietary consultations, detox and weight loss programs, stress management programs and a wide range of relaxing Ayurvedic massage therapies.

After receiving a course of Ayurvedic massage therapies, or following the advice given during an Ayurvedic dietary and lifestyle consultation, clients usually report that their excess weight gradually falls away and stays away, their minds feel clearer, calmer and more focused and their energy levels improve dramatically. Marie's Ayurvedic treatment programs are individually tailored to each clients needs and imbalances and her clinic has an atmosphere of peace and tranquility; and a space of trust, openness and friendliness. As you’ll be her only guest you’re guaranteed her undivided attention at all times.
