Sunday June 20th :: 6.30pm Solstice Outdoor Yoga Hike & Picnic Evening Excursion

Outdoor Yoga Activities : Booking now open to residents of Co. Sligo or those living within 20km of Castlebaldwin.
Taking Yoga outside into nature at the time of the Solstice enhances the uplifting effect of a regular yoga practice. The yoga and meditations in turn help to guide us to a deeper more fulfilling connection, to nature, to the solstice energy and to our ancient selves.
Carrowkeel is a site of ancient wisdom and is understood to align earth and sun energy on the solstice, the longest day of the year.  We take the path less travelled to these megalithic tombs, over the back hills, that are rolling green and conceal a vanishing village.
We’ll have our picnic at a scenic outlook en-route and stop for some releasing yoga flow and earth-connection meditations in preparation for our final destination.  We arrive at Carrowkeel’s Cairn-G to be present for the setting sun hitting it’s inner chamber.  A phenomenon of unrealised significance at a site that pre-dates the pyramids. 
The hike is classified Grade C due it being an easy paced ramble mostly on well-defined trails guided by our expert and knowledgeable guides from Northwest Adventure Tours.
This outdoor Yoga session is suitable for all abilities with a primary focus being to release stress from the physical body so that energy can flow through the subtle body. Guided meditations are included to align us with solstice sun energy and the ancient wisdom of the land.  Yoga-mats are NOT required, bring water, order your picnic lunch upon booking or bring along your own if preferred.

COVID-19 guidelines will be in place at all times. Please check your email in advance of your booked session. Own equipment is advised, yoga mats not required for this excursion.
