One Yoga Global Retreat at Ballymaloe, Cork
In April, I was overjoyed for the opportunity to travel to Ireland to participate in and photograph a yoga retreat at the infamous Ballymaloe House and Cookery School. Led by co-facilitators Shawn Parell and Erin Doerwald, the One Yoga Global retreat focused on calming the nervous system, gentle walks in nature, and, of course, nourishment by the incredible cooking staff at Ballymaloe. A dear friend and I rented a car to give us time to explore both before and after the retreat. See more of our adventure below.
Cliff walks, Cold plunges, and Castles
Two of my personal highlights from our 10-days were the cliff walks and the sauna-cold plunge on the Celtic Sea. We also had the opportunity to visit Blarney Castle and grounds, which in April were vibrantly painted with blooming tulips, fruit trees, and irises. We finished our adventure to Ireland with a little road trip to Killarney National Park, the Ring of Kerry, and a day hike up the Gap of Dunloe.
