Joining Your Wellbeing Warrior is the perfect way to explore the outdoors this summer season. With Beach Yoga and a range of Adventure Yoga Excursions to choose from you will find the perfect fit to meet your outdoor wellbeing needs.
Each week there are regular Beach Yoga Sessions in Strandhill. Sheltered by ancient dunes, Shelly valley has been discovered to be the perfect secret soft sand studio, just out of sight of the main beach. When practicing here there is a rhythm in the sound of the ocean that you can set your breath to and whether you are new to yoga or a long time practicing you will find this a uniquely uplifting experience.
Each month takes us on adventures to different stunning Sligo locations, a landscape that was made to be inhaled. There are a range of mountain hikes to choose from depending on your preference or need for exertion. Gentle rambles take us to hill top lakes, whilst epic climbs take us to breath-taking cliff top vistas. The first of these excursions and still the annual favorite is stand-up-paddle board excursion across Lough Gill to the magical Beezies Island. We hope this year you can come along with us.

Your Wellbeing Warrior is a new name for something that has long been my passion. Growing up in Sligo, surrounded by mountains, lakes and the Atlantic ocean, frequent outdoor excursions were not seen as unusual. Heading outdoors, being in the fresh air, doing fun and uplifting activities has become the common denominator through all of life’s highs and lows.
Taking the Yoga practice outside and into nature feels like a natural progression with both practicing yoga and being outdoors offering the same opportunities to release stress, renew energy and restore self-connection. It is this richness of opportunity here in the Northwest that has made it possible to create the diverse range of outdoor wellbeing excursions to suit all abilities.
Outdoor and Adventure Yoga excursions provide the opportunity for those interested in yoga to indulge their adventurous spirit. For those of you more adventurous, you get to learn the benefits of breathwork, mindful movement and meditation in the landscape and environment that best feeds your soul. With over 3 years involvement in the Adventure Sligo Network, 10 years teaching yoga, a lifetime of exploring the land here and a certainty that I will always be on the look out for new uplifting adventures, it only makes sense that I take you along with me.

How does your Achilles Heal?
The Patterns We Hold My favorite aspect of the Beach Yoga sessions is the conversation that we have walking down the beach that often inspire what I will teach. I…
‘My primary motivation is to help people get more joy from the life they have by encouraging participation in life-enhancing activities and individual self-care treatments.’
Blaithin Sweeney, Ph.D.
I am trained in the therapeutic arts of Yoga, Reiki and Massage and I provide these life-enhancing activities to groups and individuals. Combining wellbeing sessions and the great outdoors is my personal passion and thanks to the ease of collaboration with local activity providers there are a variety of outdoor and wellness adventures that you can entice family, friends or work mates to join in on. I get energized by bringing together adventure and wellness activities that enliven the senses and add a sense of mischievousness and joy.
Adventures in Wellbeing on Wild Atlantic Way
The Wild Atlantic Way is the World’s longest defined coastal touring route. It’s inspiring, invigorating and renewing.
From its delightfully surfable waves crashing on broad golden shores to the rolling green hills and misty mountaintops this is a county that attracts a distinct breed of adventure-loving traveler. And in 2018, Sligo was named as world’s best holiday destination by Vogue Magazine beating out some of the most tropical destinations from across the globe. The decision came down to British Vogue Daily Editor Scarlett Conlon who fell in love with the Yeats county.
If you’re looking for an unforgettable coastal break, from stunning beaches of Strandhill Beach and Rosses Point, to the green hills, table mountain and the Glencar Waterfall – join me for my outdoor adventures next time you are visiting Sligo. Because I am an experienced yoga and meditation teacher, I always ensure everyone in my group finds something to love. I am clear on my goals and easy to follow in my practices. Whether indoors or outdoors, understanding group dynamics is at the core of each activity ensuring all ages and abilities are catered for. The unique combination of regular meditation. yoga and adventures will leave you feeling grounded, inspired and calm.
Growth happens outside our comfort zone. This is where we meet our new experience. So whether you wish to change your life style and you are ready to put in the work, or just visiting and looking for tourist alternatives, join me.
Havin’a Laugh
