IRELAND: Spring Soul Awakening

Experience the vibrant abundance of springtime on our Ireland Spring Soul Awakening yoga adventure. As the landscape bursts to life with vivid greens and blooming wildflowers, immerse yourself in the sights and scents of the season. This is the Ancient East — the Garden of Ireland, my homeland. This is my soul connection, and I want to share that connection with you.

Walking the ancient hills, exploring my favorite hikes and places, visit my hometown of Greystones and stay in the heart of the mountains.

Tucked into the emerald folds of Co. Wicklow, Glendalough – meaning “valley of the two lakes” – is a place where time stands still. This sacred valley cradles ancient monastic ruins of Saint Kevin, round tower, still waters, and moss-covered forests, breathing an energy that is both grounding and transcendent. It’s a place that invites you to slow down and listen, not just to nature, but to your soul.

In additional this is a spa like experience, as our luxury resort has hot tubs, saunas, cold plunges, small outdoor heated pool. On top of that is a private concert, sound healings, and of course the best of yoga.

VENUE SPA EXPERIENCE: Hot-tubs, Sauna’s, Cold Plunge, Heated Pool

However, if you know you are high maintainence, if you need someone to do things for you all the time, if you are use to staying at hotels, resorts, high end places, then this most likely is not the trip for you!
