Enjoy a day of yoga, hiking, yummy food, chats and a sauna to finish. These are monthly retreats, and such popular days out. You will meet likeminded people, keen to take some time out for themselves and enjoy each others company, a 1.5 hour class of yoga, a 2/2.5 hour hike, boxes of homemade goodies, a full veggie lunch. This retreat will begin from the Belmont Way carpark, near Avoca on the N11 Kilmacanogue. We will hike up and around the great Sugarloaf which takes about 2.5 hours. We will enjoy our homemade goodies at the top before embarking on our journey back down to enjoy 1.5 hours of yoga from Rise up and Dance on the Southern Cross. We will have a lovely veggie feast at my home before finishing with our optional sauna in the Barrel Greystones. The day begins at 9.15am and comes to an end at 3.45pm.

Unwind after a long day, come to your mat, get grounded and walk away feeling both nourished and free. This class is accessible for all levels. It is a mixture of hatha and vinyasa from Rise up and Dance above Shoreline Bray on the southern cross.

A Yin Yoga class usually consists of a series of long-held, passive floor poses that mainly work the lower part of the body—the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine. These areas are especially rich in connective tissues. The poses are held for up to five minutes, sometimes longer. This intimate practice of yoga requires students to be ready to get intimate with the self, with feelings, sensations, and emotions, something of which I have noticed can be easy to avoid in a fast paced yang yoga practice. Yin yoga is often used in programs that deal with addictions, eating disorders, anxiety and deep pain or trauma. It won’t be easy or lazy, just slow, thoughtful, and grounding. .
