Ballyscanlon Wellness

Nature, Lake & Saunas

A little corner of nature where yoga, sauna, wild swimming and good company come together.

At Ballyscanlon, just outside Waterford, I host a series of seasonal experiences centred around the lake, from our monthly Lakeside Sunday Socials to full-day seasonal retreats.

It’s a very different kind of yoga experience.

Instead of arriving, doing your practice and heading home, we make a day of it. We move, breathe, soak up the landscape, warm up in the sauna, dip in the lake, eat good food and have time to simply be.

Lakeside Sunday Social

Our Lakeside Sunday Social is a monthly mini-retreat by the lake.

A yoga practice surrounded by nature, followed by sauna time, refreshments and the opportunity for a dip in the lake if you’re feeling brave.

It’s a chance to step out of your normal Sunday routine and spend a few hours moving, breathing, warming up, cooling down and connecting.

No rushing off afterwards.

Just yoga, sauna, lake, nature and good company.

A little reset before the week begins.

Seasonal Lakeside Retreats

A few times a year, we take things deeper with a full-day retreat at Ballyscanlon.

These are slow, spacious days designed around the seasons and the landscape.

Think:

2 x Yoga practices by the lake
2 x Saunas
Lake dipping
Nourishing lunch
Sound Bathing
Rest & relaxation
Journaling | Time to connect and much more!

There’s something about spending a whole day immersed in nature that you simply don’t get from a regular yoga class.

You have time to settle.

Time to move. Time to eat. Time to swim. Time to warm up. Time to chat.

The lake, the trees, the sauna, the changing seasons, the food and the people all become part of the day.

This is yoga beyond the mat.

A chance to slow down, get outside, reconnect with your body and leave feeling like you’ve actually had a proper break.
