Creating Space for Stillness: A Yoga Day Retreat with Dearbhla Glynn & Nikki Cousins

On Sunday November 15th 10.30 am - 4 pm

“Practice is about allowing a lot of space. It’s about learning how to connect with that spaciousness that’s inside and the spaciousness outside” Pema Chödrön

Before the hectic rush of December arrives, gift yourself a day of absolute refuge. This retreat invites you to unplug from the noise of daily life and rediscover the quiet, steady space that lives inside you.
We begin our day by calming the nervous system with gentle, spacious breathwork, followed by a mindful, flowing Vinyasa. This practice, led by Nikki, will focus on backbends and twists while slowing transitions and holding poses long enough to feel the space within the effort.
In the afternoon, a mindful walk through the beautiful Autumnal Ballymaloe grounds, followed by a light, healthy lunch with herbal teas and healthy desserts.
Dearbhla will lead a profoundly restful restorative Yin yoga practice, with twists, forward folds, and gentle heart-opening poses, to help the body open up, release tension, and create a sense of spaciousness within your body.
Surrounded by nature and supported by these practices, you will dissolve tension and step back into the world feeling anchored, spacious, and deeply restored, with renewed energy as the year draws to a close.
