Retreat to the tranquil setting of The elbowroom escape located in the foothills of Lugnaquilla to invite a sense of authentic restoration and rejuvenation to your body and mind.
Sometimes, in the rush of modern life, we can get a little disconnected from who we truly are. Through careful planning and consideration, Clare and Orla wish to provide you with the opportunity to escape to the simplicity of nature and allow it to restore you as you reconnect with who you are.
Find the space to relax and revitalise as we immerse ourselves in this invaluable opportunity to engage in self-care. Over the course of the weekend, we will seek to re-align the body and mind in order to leave us feeling a little lighter and a little more open when we part ways on Sunday afternoon.
Throughout the weekend we will find a balance between practicing the ancient tradition of yoga in the beautifully cosy studio on site, exploring the great outdoors and nourishing ourselves with healthy and locally sourced produce.
Learn to find peace within as the surrounding nature, nourishment and mindful movement help us to reset and restore.
