Brenda McCooey

Brenda’s passion for yoga began when she was 19 years old, after she attended her first Hatha Yoga class led by Tony Quinn, a renowned Yoga Teacher in Ireland.

When Brenda moved to the UK, she joined Granville Cousin’s Ashtanga Yoga class in Manchester.  This took her practice to another level of strength, focus and fitness.

Yoga gives you many tools to cope with life’s challenges.  Brenda wanted to give people the opportunity to create positive change in their lives. So, she embarked on Teacher Training with Anne-Marie Newland, founder of Sun Power Yoga.

Sun Power Yoga teachings are based on ancient traditions of Yoga – a focus on breath, asana, theory, and philosophy.

Brenda’s classes are Vinyasa Flow, connecting breath with movement, with a strong emphasis on alignment.

Continually inspired by Yoga’s transformative power, both internally and externally. She finds Yoga to be a source of love and strength. Brenda strives to bring kindness to all her classes and hopes to impart Yogi wisdom along the way.
