Balancing Strength & Ease - Autumn Retreat in Kerry

Friday, October 9th to Sunday, October 11th 2026, Caherdaniel, County Kerry

Step into Autumn with a weekend that aims to provide inspirational practices, space for stillness and reflection and immersive nature experiences.

This retreat is open to all levels!

Join us (Carmel & Kathryn) for our Autumn weekend retreat of Balancing Strength and Ease. An Autumn Reset as we wind down towards the year’s end with a chance to reconnect and reset, gently transitioning into Winter.

Blending dynamic practices, conscious movement, meditation, breathwork, yin and somatic yoga to cultivate and explore the balance between Sthira & Sukha- Strength & Ease.

Our venue is in the heart of beautiful Kerry,a beautifully restored mansion, a hidden gem tucked away in the Iveragh Peninsula near  Caherdaniel and Derrynane . Just two hours from Cork city  and right in the heart of mountains alongside the Atlantic ocean. We are offering you a mini escape away from the city to quieten our busy minds. The property boasts  beautiful deluxe bedrooms (ensuite) – quiet yoga space for our practices, outdoor hottub, nourishing meals, swimming and the calm of being in nature.

In the mornings Kathryn will open with  a dynamic  practice  followed by meditation whilst Carmel will offer our late afternoon soft somatic yin/restorative practice. Afterwards we sit down together and enjoy a sangria, some home cooked food and the option to relax or explore , hot tub or simply chill.
