Yoga Retreat in Killaloe, Ireland

Welcome to a retreat designed for deep rest and renewal, where ​you'll have the space to pause, reconnect with yourself, and ​experience true restoration. Enjoy daily and evening restorative yoga ​practices, soundbaths, and nourishing breakfasts. You'll also get to ​experience two immersive day outings to explore Irish culture, land, ​and folklore, along with a special Leo New Moon ritual led by an ​Irish native.

As a yoga instructor, intuitive astrologer, and sound practitioner, I know firsthand ​how life’s demands can take a toll on your body and spirit. When I was raising my ​children in my 20s and 30s, I didn’t believe rest was an option. Between working ​full-time, managing a family, and running my kids to different sports events, the ​only time I had for myself was working out—lifting weights. While it gave me a brief ​escape, it wasn’t restorative.

By the time I reached 40, my body gave out, physically and mentally. I realized I ​needed to slow down, but even then, I gravitated toward aggressive styles of yoga. ​It wasn’t until I took my first Yin and Restorative class that I understood how much ​my body needed rest to regulate and gain clarity. That experience transformed me, ​and now it’s embedded in the yoga I practice and teach.

That’s why, at the age of 46, I’ve designed the “Rest and Restore” retreat—a ​sanctuary for women, especially women of color, to pause, heal, and find renewal. ​Through mindfulness practices, restorative yoga, sound baths, and guided ​reflection, I aim to offer the rest I once didn’t think was possible. This retreat is ​about creating space for you to reconnect with yourself because you deserve to ​nurture the one person who gives so much: you.

With a master's in Social Psychology and two years of clinical experience in brain injury ​rehabilitation, Jenny now blends her psychology background with her work as a yoga ​teacher and nature connection facilitator. Currently pursuing a master's in Organizational ​Psychology, she integrates both eastern and western philosophies into her practice. Jenny ​believes that no single practice holds all the answers, but rather that different practices ​resonate at various stages of one's journey. With a deep connection to nature and a ​foundation in Jungian Depth Psychology, she finds that returning to the natural world, ​especially the cultural landscape of Ireland, offers space for reconnection and inner ​reflection.
