Journey to the Heart: A Weekend Yoga Retreat
A soulful escape to reconnect with yourself through movement, breath, and reflection.
This weekend is designed to bring you back to your heart—your inner sanctuary of wisdom, love, and clarity. Through gentle yet powerful yoga, deep breathwork, soothing meditations, and heart-opening practices, you'll rediscover what truly lights you up.
Escape, Restore & Reconnect
A Transformative Yoga Retreat at Lough Mardal Lodge
The day never seems to end, does it? You pour your energy into work, tackling deadlines and demands, only to walk through the door into another kind of busy – a house filled with its own set of needs and responsibilities. There's rarely a moment to truly exhale, to transition from one demanding role to another. It's a relentless cycle of giving, doing, and managing, leaving you feeling like you're constantly pulled in a million different directions.
The quiet you crave feels like a distant memory, swallowed by the constant motion and noise. Evenings, meant for rest, often become another shift of tasks and to-dos. The weight of it all accumulates, leaving you feeling drained, both mentally and physically. It's hard to find the space to simply be, to reconnect with yourself amidst the constant demands of work and home.
This retreat offers you a precious pause button. It's an opportunity to step away from the non-stop motion, to leave the demands of work and the busyness of home behind. Imagine days where you can finally breathe deeply, where the only agenda is your own well-being. This is your chance to reclaim some quiet, to nurture yourself without the constant pull of external obligations, and to rediscover the peace that's been overshadowed by the relentless pace of your daily life.
Over three days at Lough Mardal Lodge, you’ll experience a profound shift—physically, mentally, and emotionally. This retreat is designed to help you release stress, reconnect with yourself, and return home feeling lighter, clearer, and more at peace!
✔️ Deepen your heart connection – Practices will help you tune into your heart’s wisdom and desires.
✔️ Feel more grounded & aligned – Time in nature, mindful movement, and stillness will bring a renewed sense of inner peace.
✔️ Leave feeling lighter, radiant & renewed – With clarity, balance, and a fresh perspective on what truly matters.
✔️ Release tension & stiffness – Through mindful movement, deep stretches, and breathwork, your body will feel more open and at ease.
✔️ Boost energy & vitality – Gentle morning yoga will awaken your body, while evening sessions will help you unwind for deep rest.
✔️ Improve posture & mobility – Focused heart-opening poses and mindful alignment will create more space in your body
✔️ Quiet the mental noise – Meditation and breathwork will help calm an overactive mind, bringing clarity and focus.
✔️ Let go of stress & emotional weight – Guided practices will allow you to soften and release what no longer serves you.
✔️ Reconnect with self-compassion – Journaling and reflection will help you shift from self-judgment to self-acceptance.
In addition to our scheduled yoga and meditation sessions, you'll have plenty of time for yourself—to rest, reflect, explore nature, or simply be. Lough Mardal’s stunning surroundings provide the perfect place for wild swims, peaceful walks, or quiet contemplation by the lake.
For those looking to enhance their retreat experience, you’ll also have the option to book luxury extras, such as massages, holistic treatments, and wild sauna sessions. Explore the options here:

You're feeling emotionally or physically depleted and long for deep rest and restoration. You simply desire a weekend to press pause, step away from the noise, and reset your mind, body, and spirit.

If you're seeking more calm amidst the chaos, clarity in your thoughts, strength in your body and spirit, and a gentle softness in your approach to life – then Journey to the Heart was created with you in mind. It's time to give yourself permission to receive.

💛 A Personal Invitation from Me

Whether you're looking for physical relief, emotional balance, or just time to reconnect with yourself, you will be held and supported every step of the way.
