After our morning practice we will go for a walk around the beautiful Autumnal grounds of Ballymaloe. Sarah will join us and explain some plants that we can bring into our daily winter wellness routine. We will return for a delicious, warming Autumnal lunch and herbal teas.
After lunch Sarah, will explain to us the herbs and plants long turned to for immune support during the Winter. and two simple ways to use them at home. She will blend a herbal tea and make an oxymel, an old preparation of honey and cider vinegar drawn through fresh herbs to take home with you. Which will help boost your immunity for the Winter ahead and you can learn to make it at home yourself.
In the afternoon it is time for deep rest, releasing tension from your body and relaxing deeply!
Dearbhla will lead a two hour harmonising Yin and Restorative practice, where we let our worries melt away and come to a place of deep rest.
After a long blissful Savasana expect to float home with your oxymel to support you through Winter!

Dearbhla will lead a warming Vinyasa flow practice in the mornings. Practicing several sun salutations with a different variations. The overall practice is slow, moving mindfully with the breath. Holding some poses a little longer to develop strength and generate warmth in the body. We will flow through different transitions improving overall body awareness and opening the joints, while also strengthening and lengthening the muscles. The practice is slow, warming and requires some physical stamina yet it has a lovely meditative and mindful quality to it. Dearbhla will offer modifications for any of the more challenging poses and rest is always an option! Creating an overall feeling of stillness and calm.
This is a lovely practice which focuses on breathing, stretching and relaxing before lunch.
Slow down, unwind and restore your energy with a ninety minute Yin Yoga and restorative practice, aiming to calm the mind, stretch and relax the body. This two-hour practice will create space and stillness in both the mind and body. Yin yoga targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, bones and even the joints, and releases tension and stress in the body.
The focus is simply about letting go of stress and tension, releasing into a deep yin practice followed by a long restorative practice using bolsters and blankets so people can relax, unwind and recharge. Dearbhla will use relaxing essential oils during the restorative practice for an even more relaxing experience.
