About Roz

I don’t like to put labels on myself… but if I had to choose, I would probably say I’m a multi-passionate entrepreneur, yoga teacher, writer, + content creator. Can you tell that was hard for me? ðŸ¤£

 

If you were left a little confused by the above, the following might clear that up…

 
What Am I Working On? 


  1. 1. In early 2021, Chris and I launched our new business. Studio Layla – an eco-friendly yoga brand. Our first collection is a range of cork yoga mats with Chris’ original artwork. You can find out more on our website www.studiolaylayoga.com
  2.  
  3. 2. At the end of 2022 we opened a yoga studio in Chiang Mai, Thailand, also under the name Studio Layla. It forms part of the “Yoga + Tattoo Studio” – the tattoo studio part AKA Chiangmai Skinart belongs to my husband, Chris. 

  5. 3. I’ve been quiet on this website for a while. In the past I wrote articles on nutrition, health, and other things that were interesting at the time. As I evolve and grow, so too does this space. I’d like to share more behind the scenes of what’s going on at Studio Layla and what it’s really like running your own business. 
  6.  
  7. 3. I’m currently rebranding my Youtube channel to share more yoga + behind the scenes from my business. 
  8.  

  9. 6. In the past I worked as a freelancer. I was a content creator + social media manager for several clients and had a gig writing children’s books. 

     

 

About Me 

 
1. I love to travel. I live between Thailand and Ireland.
 

2. I’m married to Chris, my lovely husband . We have two dogs (both rescues) + a cat named Eric. 

 

3. I studied International Commerce + French at Uni and all I’ve ever wanted to do is run my own business. 

 
4. I swam my first 5km ocean race in Krabi a few years ago. I’ve also fallen in love with Freediving + will train to become a master Freediver some day soon 🙂 
 
5. In 2016, I completed my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training with Himalaya Yoga Valley in India. In 2022, I completed another 200hr YTT, as well as a 50hr Yin YTT with Orion Healing Centre in Koh Phangan. 

Other certs include: 
Certificate of Practical Cookery – Cooks Academy Dublin 
Plant Based Professional Certification – Rouxbe Cooking School 

Nutrition + Health Coaching – Irish Institute of Nutrition + Health 


6. I’ve been pescatarian, later vegetarian, for 16-17 years (I’ve lost count now!). It was really rare back then and it’s been nice to witness all the positive changes in the last few years. 


7. I started writing this blog sporadically back in 2018. 


8. I lived in France for a year during Uni and fell in love with food + cooking – cliché, I know. I decided then that I wanted to open my own café and yoga studio one day. Oh and write a cookbook! Still on the dreams list hehe. 


9. I’m definitely more of a night owl by nature, but always feel under pressure to be more of a morning person. 


10. I have a daily journaling habit that has changed my life for the better in so many ways.

 

Thanks for reading.
