Ióga Dátheangach // Bilingual Yoga!

⏰ 19:30-20:45
📆 Dé Máirt // Tuesdays | Tús // Starts: 16.09.2025
ℹ️ [email protected]

Is rang ióga do thosaitheoirí é seo, ag díriú ar an Ghaeilge ábhartha amhail codanna an choirp, focai ghnímh agus gluaiseacht. Tosaímid an rang ag dul go tapa tríd an teanga, agus ansin bogaimid ar aghaidh go lárnú, análú, cleachtadh ióga agus machnamh treoraithe. Tugtar na treoracha ar dtús i mBéarla agus ansin i nGaeilge, rud a fhágann é inrochtana ag foghlaimeoirí ar gach leibhéal Gaeilge.

Beidh ranganna ar siúl an fómhar seo, 2025, ón 16 Meán Fómhair oícheanta Dé Máirt 7.30pm-8.45pm. Níl táille ar bith ar an rang, glactar le síntiúis dheonacha.

Faoi Sara
Is Gael-Indiach í Sara, a rugadh i nDoire agus arb as Kerala i nDeisceart na hIndia a muintir. Is cleachtóir ióga lena beo í, agus tá sí ag teagasc ranganna ó 2005 i leith. Tá spéis ar leith aici sa nasc idir an Ghaeilge agus an tSanscrait, teanga an ióga.

This is a beginner yoga class with a focus on the relevant Irish language such as body parts, action words and movement. We begin the class by briefly going through the language and then move on to centering, breathing, yoga practice and guided meditation. The instructions are given first in English and then in Irish, which makes it accessible to all levels of Irish learners.

Classes will run this autumn, 2025, from September the 16th on Tuesday evenings 7.30pm – 8.45pm. There is no charge for the class, voluntary donations are accepted.

About Sara
Sara is half Irish, born in Derry, and half Indian from Kerala in South India. She is a lifetime practitioner of yoga and has been teaching languages since 2005. She has a special interest in the connection between Irish language and Sanskrit, the language of ioga.

Arna chomhordú ag Patricia Byrne agus Mel Bradley

Seo an tríú bliain do Na Monalóga Bróid mar chuid d’Fhéile Bhróid an Fheabhail. Tá ríméad orainn a bheith ar ais in 2025!

Goitse chuig oíche de mhonalóga mire, fiánta, tochtmara, radacha, machnamhacha, deoirshilteacha, fíorghreannmhar le scríbhneoirí agus taibhitheoirí áitiúla LADTAIÉ+ ar gach leibhéal, cuid acu a bhfuil cáil orthu agus cuid eile atá nua ar an stáitse. Oíche aoibhinn a bheas ann i gclár Fhéile Bhróid an Fheabhail.

An bhean eisceachtúil Mel Bradley a bheas mar bhean an tí lena dea-chaint agus gaois ar leith féin.

“Bhí mé féin agus m’iníonacha atá sna déaga (a bhfuil stair thrasinscneach ag bean acu) ag Na Monalóga Bróid 2024 agus chuaigh an léiriúchán ar dóigh seo i bhfeidhm go mór orainn agus go croí ionainn. Bhí an seomra lán grá agus fáilte roimh achan duine a thug léiriú agus a bhí sa lucht féachana chomh maith. Ní dhearna muid gáire agus caoineadh mar seo inár saol. Ní thig leat go díreach luach a chur ar an chineál seo ócáide. Maith iad achan duine a bhí páirteach!” – ball den lucht féachana.

This is the third year for The Pride Monologues as part of Foyle Pride Festival. We are ecstatic to be back for 2025!

Come along to an evening of zany, wild, moving, radical, thought provoking, tear jerking, side splitting monologues by local LGBTQIA+ writers and performers of all levels, some well known and others new to the stage. This will be a scintillating evening in the Foyle Pride Festival programme.

MC will be the exceptional Mel Bradley with her particular brand of wit and wisdom.

We have a brilliant BSL interpreter providing all our sign language interpreting on the night!

“Myself and my teenage daughters (one daughter with a trans history), attended The Pride Monologues 2024 and were completely blown away and humbled by this fantastic production. The atmosphere in the room was full of love and acceptance of every one who performed and in the audience too. We haven't laughed and cried like this in our lives. You just cannot put a price on this kind of event. Well done to everyone involved!” - Audience member.
