Hello, my name is Stephen Bunney and I am the Manager and Director of Warrior Wellness. I am a Yoga Teacher from Cork, currently living in Kildare. WarriorWellness was formed officially in 2023, with the vision to help people to move better physically, feel better mentally and connect more on a personal and community level. I have been practicing yoga since 2015, after suffering an injury to my lower back, and since I started, it has become one of the staples in my lifestyle. My sporting background includes a wide range, from GAA to surfing, weightlifting and calisthenics. I found that my yoga practice has helped me to remain injury free, move pain free, keep my mind quiet and I have made so many friends and connections. Initially, it was the physical benefits that encouraged me towards yoga, but the holistic positive impact on my life has been huge, from mental health, general mood, self-confidence, sleep, mindfulness and so on! This can also be the case for you! How does it sound to be moving around pain free? To have improved sleep? To have decresed levels of stress? To have higher levels of clarity and be more present in the hustle and bustle of daily life? To be able to play with your kids and get up and down off the floor? Yoga, Pilates and breathwork can be your gateway to exactly this along with the support of an amazing comunity of like minded individuals to encourgae you and have fun along the way.
Why trust us though? I have been a member of the Irish Defence Forces since 2012, currently serving as a Captain and my education stems from Psychology, Coaching and Leadership. I value respect, loyalty, honesty, moral courage, profesionallism and attention to detail. The studio encaptures a small bit of everything from my life and the life of the wonderful teachers who make the place so special. Should you choose to join, you will be embarking on a journey of community, with open, like minded people, high quality classes and unrivaled commitment from us to enhance your wellbeing. The studio is small in nature, and caters for a maximum of 13 people in each class gaurentting nurturing attention from the teacher. It is so much more than just a class. It is a family.

Why practice yoga?
Community
Yoga has this amazing ability to connect people. It brings like minded people together and can create life long bonds, creating a shared community that promotes growth, shared experience and healing.
Physical
Practicing yoga can have huge positive impacts on your life, helping you to move freely. It can help to improve strength, balance, flexibility, mobility and increase both energy levels and mood.
Mental
Numerous studies have shown that yoga also benefits your mental health, reducing stress levels, improving quality of sleep. It promotes 'me' time, allowing you to connect breath and body to find a certain calm after (or before) a long day
Is Warrior Wellness for you?
Long and short answer, yes. One of the beauties of yoga and by extension Warrior Wellness is that it is for everyone. And I know, if you look on instagram or social media, you see pictures of people making crazy shapes with their body and calling it yoga. Bravo to them, but it is not what the true essence of yoga is about.
At Warrior Wellness, we operate an all inclusive policy. I gaurentee that you can show up in whatever form you are in, wearing whatever clothes you want to wear, whatever ability you have and you will be met with professionalism and compassion, in a safe space and guided through the class with care, attention to detail and nurturing. Some classes will be more challenging that others, some workshops will offer people chance to push their boundaries and some will be offered purely with the goal of reducing your stress levels to zero – even if only for a few hours.
If you are on the fence, or need help choosing a package or a class that suits you, feel free to reach out and send a message.
Steve
