Fueling her curiosity, she spent six enlightening months traversing Southeast Asia, deepening her yoga knowledge. The quest for wisdom led her to Rishikesh in 2017, where she completed an immersive 300hr TTC. Back in Dublin, while recovering from an injury, Sile discovered the enchantment of yin yoga, prompting her to undertake specialized training in 2019. Intrigued by the subtle elements of yoga, she found herself drawn to sound healing as a means to access these deeper layers of practice.
