All we want for Christmas is a day off.

All these ‘activities’ and ‘festivities’ involve a lot of leaving the house at the weekend. We absolutely love the buzz in December, but it can leave you feeling drained and less-than-merry by Christmas.

So this year, in order to recharge the batteries and give our minds some space from all the hustle and bustle, we’re heading to Ballymaloe Grainstore, specifically for their Winter Healing Day Retreat.

The iconic Cork venue is teaming up with yoga instructor and retreat facilitator Dearbhla Glynn to bring you a day of self-love this winter, complete with mindful walks, relaxing herbal tea, and refreshments, to complement a fantastic candlelit Yin and restorative yoga.

Dearbhla is well known for her retreat days and is an advanced yoga teacher, award-winning documentary filmmaker, artist, and writer.

The Winter Healing Day Retreat takes place on December 12th from 10am-2pm. Find out how to attend here.
