Relax & De-Stress
Sunday 10th November
10am – 4.30pm
We are so excited to announce an extra special location for our final day retreat of 2024!!
Join us for an deeply nurturing day at the incredible Ballymaloe Grainstore. Just 35 minutes from Cork City/Ballincollig and yet the perfect venue to retreat to.
Located on the grounds of the renowned Ballymaloe House Hotel, the Grainstore offers us an atmospheric space to slow down and immerse ourselves in a day of gentle yoga practices and delicious food.
We will enjoy our yoga sessions in the magnificent Grainstore hall and our lunch on the upper balcony.
In between classes you can take a stroll and enjoy the famous Ballymaloe gardens and surrounding nature or pop into the Ballymaloe Craft shop.
Classes
Our nurturing yoga sessions will be led by Claire Dunniece, Senior Yoga Teacher. Learn more about Claire on her website here
Classes & workshops will include; Gentle Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Pranayama, Yoga Nidra, Meditation
Always taking inspiration from the seasons and cycles of nature, Claire has designed a day filled with nourishing and comforting practices.
These workshops are designed in a way that suit all levels and physical abilities so everyone is welcome to join us on these day retreats.
Claire’s compassionate mindful teaching style aims to make yoga attainable for everybody so whether you are completely new to yoga, have an existing injury or are a seasoned yogi you should find the retreat day interesting, rewarding and hopefully take home some new perspectives and practices with you.
Props will be provided but please bring your own mat and blanket.
Gentle Yoga Workshop
In the morning session Claire will compassionately guide you through Gentle Yoga movement and Pranayama (breath practices). Beginning with a grounding Yoga Nidra practice then easing into yoga asana, we will mindfully and intentionally move the whole body. This will be a wonderful preparation as we edge closer to winter and an opportunity to devote time to yourself before the hectic festive season commences.
Restorative Yoga
In our afternoon Restorative Yoga session Claire will guide you into a state of complete ease in both body and mind. Using props to facilitate deep physical relaxation she will show you how to rest without distraction. Blissful restorative poses and Yoga Nidra will be shared to soothe your adrenals, bring balance to your nervous system and leave you feeling completely rested. The ultimate way to relax & de-stress!
