What is Rest Retreat all about?
Over the three days, you'll be immersed in a wholesome blend of relaxation practices, nourishing food, and meaningful connection.
We all need a reset from time to time, and this retreat offers just that—a gentle yet powerful weekend of self-care, restoration, and deep rest.
-
A gentle and meditative practice that focuses on relaxation, nervous system regulation and stress relief through yoga postures that soothe the body, calm the mind and release stored tension. We will use props like yoga pillows and blankets to ensure complete comfort and ease throughout the practice.
-
A guided sleep meditation that helps to increase body awareness, improve sleep and boost your body’s systems (digestion, immune, lymphatic). This practice can also help to subconsciously rewire the brain, reducing unwanted mental beliefs and patterns.
-
Writing to bring awareness to your self and what things are helping you or holding you back. Being intentional about what we want to nurture in our lives and what we want to release helps bring clarity and peace of mind.
-
The space to slow down, reflect and reconnect with yourself. Life can be busy and its not often we give ourselves a proper chance to take time to enjoy and be completely present.
More about what we offer
Why retreat spaces are different to a typical holiday or weekend break:
There’s something about the container of a retreat that naturally creates a space of kindness and compassion. Everyone feels open and supportive of one another, everyone feels safe to just be themselves.
For many people, this is a huge exhale.
It takes the social pressure off and allows a new kind of environment that fully supports your nervous system and your wellbeing.
It's a rare chance to spend a weekend fully present. We can dial down the distractions; social media, alcohol and rushing around. And focus on nature, slow and mindful living and connection.
It’s safe to say that these kinds of third spaces are needed now more than ever. We live extremely fast and busy lives, with constant overstimulation and lack of escape from the pace we are all trying to keep up with.
This space is the salve to modern life, all you need to do is arrive, allow yourself to slow down and simply enjoy.
The Space
The retreat will be held in The Yoga Barn, Kilkenny which is a restored ‘clochán’ or Irish stone village, surrounded by green fields, trees, and big skies.
Hidden away in the lush Kilkenny countryside, though only 20 minutes from Waterford City, the Yoga Barn breathes peace, calm, and tranquility.
Why is REST important?
Nervous System Regulation – Learn to shift from stress and overwhelm to a state of calm and ease.
Stress & Tension Release – Let go of what you’ve been holding onto, physically and emotionally.
Rewire Your Brain – Understand how neuroplasticity allows you to create new, healthier patterns or change old ones.
No Experience Needed – Whether you're new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this retreat is designed for all.
