A chairde! My name is Katie Ryan, and I am 26 years old. I am from Tullow and I am delighted to be selected as this year’s Carlow Rose. I am an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Coordinator and I also run my yoga business part-time. I aim to create unique yoga events by hosting retreats and even dog-friendly classes. I love to travel and try to say yes to every adventure that comes my way. During my Sports Degree, I completed two J1’s where I worked at summer camps caring for adults and children with disabilities in California. I went solo backpacking through Asia for 5 months and made lifelong memories by completing volunteer work, hiking active volcanoes and staying with a traditional Thai tribe in the jungle. I am extremely grateful to have completed my Yoga Teacher Training in Bali, learning from experts in the area. If I am not in the yoga studio, you will find me hiking or sea swimming, exploring what our gorgeous island has to offer.
