What We Will Cover?
During this immersive retreat, we'll delve deep into the essence of Yoga practices, exploring both the physical practice and philosophical foundations alongside practices to help you relax and deeply rest.
Our comprehensive curriculum includes the following 2 Hour sessions:
● STRETCH & Flow: Flow with alignment, breathe, shake the journey off in this opening session which will be co taught by Noeleen & Meghan. This isn't just about physical posture—it's about aligning your body, mind, and spirit for a more balanced, fulfilling life. STRETCH your body, soften your heart.
● MOVE & Grow: Led by Noeleen. Explore biomechanical principles that form the cornerstone of Anusara Yoga in this session where we will work to build strength to support our body, bones, mind and heart as we GROW older. This practice is versatile and the concepts we will explore apply to any pose, any body type, any age, enhancing your practice and your embodied experience.
● REST & Restore: Led by Meghan. Immerse yourself in the deeply relaxing restorative practices. We are great in our society at commending the 'doing' of things, but we rarely give credit to the power of REST, the power of 'doing nothing'. This session will help you experience deep rest, release tensions both conscious and unconsciously held in the body and in the mind.
● PLAY at any age: Led by Meghan & Noeleen. Explore the power of yoga play, community fun and breathwork and meditation. This session will fill your cup with the joy of moving your body while genuinely playing with a few belly laughs thrown in for good measure. We will also have our final closing circle.
Our approach combines theoretical understanding (the why) with practical application (the practice), ensuring you leave with tools that you can immediately integrate into your practice, your life and your general self care routine.
By the end of this retreat, you'll have experienced a wonderful weekend in a beautiful place, with likeminded company and hopefully you will be inspired to bring what you have learned home with you to continue yoga as an act of self care and love.
If you're looking to give a new lease of life to your personal practice or want to learn more about all elements of practice then this retreat offers invaluable insights and experiences.

Women who love yoga and who want to look after themselves and stay strong and healthy as they age. This will be a blend of movement, physical challenge, spiritual growth, and joyful connection in a stunning natural setting
Anyone who would like to come away by themselves or with a friend to a friendly warm space and experience a healthy balanced short break with a good measure of fun thrown in.

In our supportive, fun atmosphere, you'll not only advance your practice but also forge lasting connections with like-minded individuals.

Meet Your Teachers
Noeleen and Meg first met in 2008 at a morning yoga class and brunch, hosted by Noeleen. The magical draw of Ard Nahoo and Noeleen's yoga expertise instantly made Meghan feel that, for the first time, she had met her teacher and found her yoga sanctuary.
This was the birth of the bud that later bloomed into a strong friendship, firmly rooted in our shared love of all things yoga. Over the years we have come to find so many similarities on our life paths: both of us found yoga in our teens; both lived in Northern California at the same time; both value the power and pull of nature; both have raised boys into young men.
Our most recent collaboration was a month-long trip to India last winter, exploring yoga's birthplace. We hope you join us for our next adventure in Donegal!
