Yoga for Everyone with Monica

Yesterday, our lovely friend and neighbour Harry left this earth. His body did, anyway ... I think he is still everywhere. He was an adopted granddad to my children and my dog's secret treat dealer. He rang our bell on Halloween, once dressed up as a bottle of Corona, another time as Mick Jagger 😂, carrying bags of sweets and scary props. He was an incredibly active and fun person who still played golf. Once, I scraped the pillar of my gate with the car and came back to find he had repainted it. We went to Avoca once and came back to find he had power hosed our driveway. He told us stories about sharks and about bringing a skating show to Ireland with his wife and kids, all of them putting on an American accent to sound exotic 😂
We love him and always will. And I think this all shows that, by being a wonderful, giving, kind and loving person, you can really touch the lives of other people. You can really make a difference. We will never forget you, Harry, and we are grateful to the Universe for putting you in our path 💜

This will be our fifth retreat in Sardinia, and every year becomes another unforgettable experience.

Many guests return again and again because of the warmth, the laughter and the sense of community.

'SUUUP?? Everyone, standing-paddle-board Yoga is on next Sunday in Dun Laoghaire!! Don't worry, you don't have to wear a swimsuit! And wetsuits can be borrowed if you need one. Come have fun with us at 9am and maybe even have a sauna! Email [email protected] to book, only 8 spots per class. I'll be teaching and trying not to fall in and you can totally laugh at me if I do. I'll see you on Sunday 5 June for SUP Yoga!

I had an absolutely brilliant time today. It is only rarely that I can attend practices for myself and I feel so blessed to have been able to do this. In a row, I attended Yin Yoga and Chi Gong, breath work, a cacao ceremony and a Zumba class, followed by lunch and a sound bath!!! Time well spent, I can tell you, all in the gorgeous Airfield Estate 💜 It was an honour for me to be invited to teach a Vinyasa flow by the wonderful ❤️
May this be an annual appointment and grow to include many, many more people. I am grateful!! A special thanks to Mary Jo, my practice companion 💜

Are you coming to Airfield tomorrow? Lots of activities from cacao ceremonies to Yoga, from Pilates to scavenger hunts, from family dance to Zumba, all under one ticket. A whole day of taking care of yourself. I hope to see you there. DM me for your discount code 💜

Another fantastic review about our retreat 💜
I feel so blessed!
Only two rooms left for September/October in Ogliastra, Sardinia -- a Blue Zone!
Next year we are changing location. Jump at the chance!!

I am not long back from Monica's yoga retreat in Sardinia and my heart is full.

It is difficult to put into words just how special this experience was. From the moment we arrived, Monica created a space where everyone felt welcomed, supported and genuinely cared for. There was such a beautiful sense of connection throughout the week, and I felt completely held in a way that allowed me to truly relax and be present.

Every detail was thoughtfully considered. The yoga, yoga nidra, Pilates, sound baths and all of the practices were offered with so much love, care and intention. Monica has a wonderful gift for creating a safe and nurturing environment where people can simply be themselves.

What stood out most was the love and dedication Monica brings to everything she does. You can feel the care she pours into every aspect of the retreat. She has a very special way of making each person feel seen, supported and included.

I came home feeling rested, reconnected, inspired and deeply grateful for the experience and the wonderful people I shared it with.

Monica is an amazing person with incredible gifts, and this retreat was truly magical from beginning to end.

I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone considering it.

Thank you, Monica, for such a beautiful and unforgettable experience # # #
