Window On Wicklow

Jamie Ryan headed along to Pilates with Ash where students were preparing to turn the tables on their instructor for an annual fundraiser with a twist.

‘Teacher’s Tears’ sees the class choose the toughest Pilates movements they can think of - while teacher Ashling Smith has to complete every one of them - all to raise money for Wicklow Animal Welfare.

This year’s event combines fitness, community spirit and fundraising, with participants hoping to hit a €2,000 target for the local charity.
