Over the past two years, our ride or die Yoga with Adriene was there for us when times got bleak.
And by "there for us", I mean she provided a space for us to sit on the couch and watch her dog napping while she crow posed like it was going outa style. It was just what we needed. But now that we're getting back out and about once more, you might be craving the community of a physical class. If you're staycationing in Ireland over the coming months and looking for ways to unwind, there's really nothing better than an outdoor yoga session. And not to toot the country's horn or anything, but we're home to some of the most beautiful spots in the world for a bitta downward dog. Here's a list of our faves:
1. Inishowen Yoga, Donegal
Choose from class on one of Donegal's most stunning beaches, or in the peaceful setting of beautiful Barrack Hill Town Park. Both absolutely dreamy.

2. Your Wellbeing Warrior, Sligo
Whether you fancy a bitta yoga on the beach, in a forest or even on an island off the coast, Blaithin from Your Wellbeing Warrior has you covered. Loads of amazing locations and classes for all levels.

3. Noga Yoga Castlebar, Mayo
This practice follows the sun and bases classes around the weather (a safe bet in Ireland). Keep an eye on their
Facebook if you're in the area and looking to get involved.

4. Doolin Yoga, Clare
What did we tell you about Ireland having the most beautiful spots for all your namaste needs? With Doolin Yoga you choose from a class on the literal Cliffs of Moher, or on beautiful Fanore Beach.
