I have never done yoga before, it that ok?

Yes, you are most welcome. All events are for mixed ability of yoga and beginners come along all the time.

Do I need to bring my mat?

We have mats at the studio but many prefer to bring their own, whatever suits you best.

Is the material the same in each event?

Never! We always discover something new in our Mutton Lane workshops, in these mini-retreat sessions we will explore a brand new concept each time.

About this event

Event lasts 2 hours 30 minutes

Tucked away in the Dublin Mountains, on a quiet lane, behind wooden gates you will enter a little haven of nature, peace and tranquillity. Mutton Lane Yoga Studio is a purpose-built studio with a stunning spacious deck. The studio has a wood-burning stove, plenty of parking and a small outdoor, heated seating area. If weather permits we start the yoga practice outdoors for standing yoga poses amongst the trees, then on to our mats in the cosy studio.

This is a half-day retreat for learning, immersion and practice. Similar to a yoga workshop, we will start with movement, hopefully on the sunny deck. The intention for the movement is to move mindfully to bring the attention to the body - we will flow through a full range of motion yoga practice to experience vibrancy throughout the whole body and a feeling of vitality and connection. We will sit outside sipping our tea and coffee for a short education piece supported by handouts, discussion, and journaling. The latter part of the class includes mindfulness practices designed to be quieter and more relaxing so you leave feeling completely rejuvenated.

Please bring: The code for the gate (in your Eventbrite booking confirmation). A warm coat you can move in for outdoor standing poses. Layers for inside the studio (a hoodie or sweatshirt, cosy socks) an eye pillow or scarf for over the eyes if you like darkness for relaxation. Flip flops, sliders or shoes you can slip on are handy. A notebook and a pen (I'll have spares), maybe a favourite travel mug if you like. A hat and spf so we can bask in sunshine ;-)

The yoga is mixed-level suitable for everyone. Every class is infused with mindfulness and appreciation of the beautiful surroundings. Emphasis on strength, softening and stretching for the physical body. Breath-work and relaxation to quieten the mind. Our two hour workshops include yoga flow and the ultimate deep-guided relaxation, Yoga Nidra.

Sylvia is teaching morning and evening regular weekly yoga classes in Community Centres in Rathfarnham and Firhouse. Monthly Saturday morning workshops are usually 10am-12noon, Full Moon Meditations are are 7-8pm. All events are listed on the events and workshops page of the website and booked via Eventbrite. Stay in touch with Sylvia on sylviayoga.com for retreats in sunny locations worldwide. Outdoor yoga in Marlay Park in summertime.
