Window on Wicklow Episode 4: Teacher’s Tears

Jamie Ryan speaks to Pilates With Ash’s class ahead of their fundraiser ’Teacher’s Tears’ in aid of Wicklow Animal Welfare

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.
