About your Hosts
Draíocht is a result of a dream collaboration between sisters, Niamh and Elaine.
Niamh is a yoga teacher and cacao facilitator based in Portugal, and Elaine is the founder of Siúl Linn, an outdoor social community connected to nature in the South East of Ireland.
Together, they are combining their passions for self-love, yoga, hiking and nature to create an experience that nourishes mind, body, and soul.

Niamh is an Irish yoga teacher, retreat host, cacao facilitator, and self-love advocate. She started yoga as a physical practice but soon found it was leading her down a path of self-discovery and self-acceptance. She fell in love with mindful movement and, back in love with her body. Now she understands yoga as a way to peel back layers to come closer to connecting with the true self and in doing so, living in better harmony with everything else. Niamh moved to the Algarve Portugal in October 2022 and shares her passion for yoga and the tools and practices she has learned to let one's light shine. She enjoys guiding meditations and teaching creative Vinyasa flows, Hatha flows, slow Restorative flows, and Yin yoga. Her classes always make space for play and self-discovery. She aims to help people discover the union between mind, body and soul, breathing love into all areas, and channelling what is learned on the mat into the rest of the day.
