Sleeplab for the Blue moon! Join us on the Bank Holiday Friday at 8pm for our next sauna breathwork evening in St Mullins. The last full moon fell on Bealtaine itself and as this is the second full moon within the same calendar month it is called a Blue Moon.
The incredibly relaxing social soak in the sauna will be followed by a breathwork session where we will be looking at the importance of sleep, and how effective breathing techniques can be in combating sleep issues.W are starting an hour later than usual at 8pm to take advantage of the long evenings.
Prebooking through the Mulvarra website is essential, click the link in our bio to go directly to the booking page. The cost of the evening is 25Euros pp which includes the sauna and cold plunge.If the last spots fill up do book a spot on the waiting lists as cancellations do happen.
As this is the second full moon its traditional Celtic name is the same as the June full moon - the celts called this the mead moon.
After this next Sleeplab, which is part of a series which has followed a broadly similar template since last September, we will switch to a slightly different format for the remaining months of the summer. There will be more of an emphasis on outdoor events although the sauna part will continue.
And then in September, we will revert to our Winter schedule. So stay tuned for more info on how our summer events will unfold. Looking forward to seeing you down on the river

Sleeplab for Bealtaine - Mayday traditionally celebrated with bonfires in Celtic societies and marking the start of summer. Coming up this mayday Bank Holiday and we are back with our r monthly full moon sauna breathwork evening in St Mullins. The incredibly relaxing social soak in the sauna will be followed by a breathwork session where we will be looking at the importance of sleep. and how effective breathing techniques can be in combatting sleep issues.

The Celts called the May full moon the Hare Moon . Old English cultures called Mayโ€™s Full Moon the Milk Moon, since farmersโ€™ cows would be suckling calves at this time and needed extra nourishment. On the first day of May, following the Bealtaine festival, they were moved to rich summer pastures.

We are on a week off from our regular weekly yoga classes this week. Back next week with another series of 6 weeks of class - both morning and evening(swipe left to see schedule). Each class in the 6 weeks will be carefully designed and calibrated, with a highly methodical sequence, building on the previous weeks class.
๐ŸŒ“๐ŸŒ“๐ŸŒ“๐ŸŒ“
This approach of grouping the classes has really shifted the yoga classes here into a new gear since we switched our booking approach just over 2 years ago. We can really settle in and explore some fascinating areas, even targeting some of the most important muscle groups like the Iliopsoas, one of the most important deep core muscles. We will be looking at ways to strengthen these crucial muscles of the lower back which are instrumental in hip flexion.

This is just one of the types of movement issues we will look at, other classes will focus on other parts of the body, such as the shoulders and some of the mobility issues which can affect this complex joint.
The full 6 week block of classes costs 60 euros and each class lasts a miminum of an hour and a quarter. (Longer if we include the breathwork and relaxation exercises we start each class with)

If you are interested in joining you can book a spot in one of the classes at the link in our bio. Please note the Tuesday 11am class is almost booked out, and space is going quickly in some of the other classes, so book now to avoid disappointment

Gorgeous weather in St Mullins today, it feels like we have turned a corner on the rain and the cold of the last 6 weeks. Just in time for the Spring Equinox which happens on March 20th this year. This day when the day and night are of roughly equal duration marks a turning point in the upward climb of the sun into the sky, after the spring equinox the daylight hours start to outnumber the nightime.

In the modern Celtic wheel of the year, this time is named Ostara or Eostre after the Pagan goddesses of the same names, who were venerated by the Anglo Saxons and the Germanic tribes. While there is limited information available on these figures apart from a single mention in the 8th century history by Bede, there is a lot of evidence that the Old English term for Easter (Eastre) came from this word Eostre /Ostara.
We are going to be marking the occasion with another sauna breathwork session on the evening of the 20th March. You can find all of the details from the booking page on the mulvarra website - li k is in mulvarra bio

March 4th -Sleep lab is back just in time for the start of Spring!
The march full moon was given different names in the Celtic tradition - the Seed Moon or sometimes the Wind or Plough Moon. In Old English it was know as the Lenten moon, as the start of Lent has always been measured from the preceding new moon. Starting with a very social sauna in the gorgeous Finnish style timber Heron Sauna, we then move to the Breathing Space studio for an incredibly relaxing hour plus of breathing practices and some gentle stretches design to foster better sleep

A very Happy Lunar New Year. As the first new moon after the January full moon, this day would also have marked the first of Spring in the old Celtic calendar, which was a lunar calendar. Although we tend to celebrate Imbolc on the first of February which the Church also fixed as St Brigids day, this would not have been the way in Celtic societies. Imbolc was set by the new moon which this year, falls on the 17th. For the next full moon, on 4th March we have our next full moon breathwork and sauna session here in St Mullins. Booking is done though the Mulvarra website, click the link in our bio to get all the info and to book. Just a few places left so don't wait too long to book!

We have a handful of spots opened up for this weekend's Full Moon sauna breathwork sessions. These sessions are always about slowing down and using a strong connection to the natural rhythm of our breaths to achieve states of deep calm and relaxation.
The calendar we follow in scheduling the events is a different and much more natural way of marking time following another profound natural rhythm- the cycle of the moon. Since this was how the Celts most likely organised themselves, we are also connecting into some very powerful and ancient ways of experiencing time and the flowing of the seasons. The underlying principle is a reconnection to nature and to that which is most natural in us - our breath. This weekend allows us to weave all three strands of connection in a rare concurrence- the alignment of St Brigid days with the February full moon . St Brigid's Dayor Imbold to give it its older name was one of the old Celtic cross quarter days- the days which fell midway between the solstice and the equinox. Traditionally in Celtic societies as Imbolc or the official start of Spring. Join us to help mark this next turning of the wheel of the year. We start with a revitalising soak in the gorgeous and follow with a deeply relaxing breathwork session in our dedicated yoga studio, the Breathing Space. Rounding off the evening as a special treat we will have a yoga nidra practice in the studio. As this is a bank holiday weekend, to cater for demand we are running two sessions: one on the Saturday(31st January), and one on the Sunday(1st February).
