Introduction to Aerial Yoga Retreat

Spend a weekend with us in our beautiful studio in rural Wexford to experience the full benefits and versatility of practicing Aerial Yoga.

During this retreat style weekend you will experience a variety of aerial yoga practices using both the Aerial Yoga Swing and the Aerial Yoga Hammock.  You will have the opportunity to try full inversions and flow classes as well as deeply rejuvenating yin and restorative classes.  You will also get to experience the feeling of  deep relaxation in our blissful, floating yoga nidra classes.

As part of this retreat you will receive informal lectures on the history of Aerial Yoga, the many options for setting up your own rig at home or in a studio and we'll discuss the many health benefits and also the contraindications to be aware of when praticing.  

So whether are interested in teaching, practicing or just curious about Aerial Yoga this is going to be the perfect weekend for you.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Limited Accommodation is available to stay at Ashgrove on Friday & Saturday night.  It is not included in this ticket price.  Please contact Tania directly to discuss accommodation options and prices if you would like to stay.  There is also local accommodation available within 5 minutes walk from the studio which you can book yourself seperately.

Main meals are also not included for this weekend.  There will be tea making facilities and light snacks only included.  There is a small fridge available for your use if you would like to bring a few items with you.  There is also a hotel & garage with takeaway & deli selling food, along with a coffee dock within 5 minutes walk of the studio.

Aerial Yoga Tips:

• Do not eat for approx 3 hours before a morning session (have an early breakfast) or if you do need something then choose a light snack that is easily digestible and have it as early as you can.  This will help your performance and reduce the risk of feeling nauseous while training.
• Wear comfortable but slim fitting clothing.
• Limit or remove jewellery.
• Bring a bottle of water and your yoga mat, if you would prefer to use your own or would like to double up.  However, mats will be provided by the studio.
• Limit or preferably no alcohol during the weekend especially if you haven't done inversions before.  Hanging upside down with a hangover is not advised.
