Description

The Yoga Barn Retreat is located at the Ballymagill Ark, South Kilkenny. A restored ‘clachán’ or Irish village, it’s situated at the end of a tree-lined boreen in beautiful rolling countryside. Enjoy peace, calm, & tranquility only an hour and a half's drive from Dublin/Cork. A family-run & family-lived in retreat centre, the Yoga Barn is a special & intimate place, regularly hosting classes, workshops, & retreats. The purpose-built studio is light & airy, with high ceilings, kept cosy and warm in winter by both a wood-burning stove and underfloor heating supplied by a ground-sourced heat pump. As well as varied & relaxing Yoga classes, you can also expect delicious vegetarian food & a chance to enjoy both a Sauna and Hot Tub. I look forward so much to spending this time with you. Time dedicated to our practice; to be in community together, to have fun, to take the opportunity ahead of the busier Winter period to unwind & rest, & to prioritise our wellbeing.
