SLIGO
Find your yin within.
Embrace the beauty of Sligo and the tranquility of Cabragh Lodge.
Join our immersive 50-hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training course this Summer.
Nestled along Ireland’s dramatic northwest coast, Sligo is a place of striking natural beauty, known for its sweeping Atlantic beaches, iconic mountains, and deep artistic and spiritual heritage. Framed by the Wild Atlantic Way, this vibrant yet grounding destination offers a unique sense of space, rhythm, and connection to the land. With its powerful landscapes and slower pace of life, Sligo provides a nourishing sanctuary for those wishing to deepen their yoga practice while immersing themselves fully in nature.
The tranquillity of our beautifully curated retreat venue 'Cabragh Lodge' situated just outside Sligo allows participants to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Within the surrounding area there are numerous walking trails and scenic viewpoints. A short drive away you can find multiple beaches. Here, there are endless opportunities to explore the natural beauty surrounding you. Early morning beach walks or sunset hikes are perfect ways to prepare your mind and body for a your journey through Yin Yoga.
Excited to join us? Here's a glimpse of what awaits you during our Yin Yoga Teacher Training 'Retreat-Style' experience.
1. History of Yoga
Embark on a transformative journey as you delve deeper into the ancient practice of yoga through our immersive Yin Yoga course.
Uncover the rich history and profound philosophy that underlies yoga, and gain a deeper understanding of the delicate balance between Yin and Yang energies in our modern lives. Dive into the wisdom of ancient concepts such as Qi, Jing, and meridians, as you explore their significance and practical application in your yoga practice.
2. Yoga Anatomy
Delve into a comprehensive curriculum that encompasses various aspects of yoga, including anatomy, sequencing, and theming.
Our course takes a unique approach by incorporating the seasonal elements of Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer, and Late Summer, as well as the fundamental elements of Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, and Fire. Gain a deep understanding of how these elements intertwine with your practice, allowing you to create well-rounded and harmonious yoga experiences for yourself and your future students.
3. Yoga Postures
During this immersive Yin Yoga course, you'll have the opportunity to deep dive into the 26 yin yoga postures, including their adaptations and the essential rebound and counterpose. As you deepen your understanding of each posture, you'll unlock their physical and energetic benefits, allowing you to experience the full potential of Yin Yoga.
In addition to the physical practice, you'll also explore Yin Krama, a methodical approach to sequencing yin yoga postures, and develop your teaching methodology. Through this process, you'll refine your voice, language, and create a supportive space that empowers you on your Yoga teaching journey.
Cabragh Lodge
The Venue
We are so excited to launch our second ever Retreat-Style Yin Yoga Teacher Training Experience at the stunningly curated 'Cabragh Lodge' outside Sligo, Co. Sligo.
Retreat-Style Yin Yoga Teacher Training — Sligo
Carefully Curated From Four Years of Feedback
Over the past four years of delivering Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Sligo, one message has come through clearly and consistently:
people want to fully immerse.
Students didn’t just want strong teaching — they wanted time, space, accommodation, shared meals, and the chance to stay within the experience rather than stepping in and out of it. This training has been consciously redesigned in direct response to that feedback, allowing participants to arrive, settle, and remain held within the process for the full duration of each weekend.
Moving the training to Cabra Lodge allows us to finally offer the course in a way that supports depth, continuity, and integration — something our previous location simply could not provide.
An Energetic Approach to Learning Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is subtle, internal, and deeply energetic. Over time, we’ve become increasingly aware that attending a studio for a few hours a day — arriving from busy lives and returning straight back into them — does not support the energetic depth this practice asks for.
This retreat-style format creates energetic continuity.
There is time for the nervous system to settle, for group energy to stabilise, and for learning to land in the body rather than just the mind. The environment, rhythm of the day, and shared retreat life all support a more sustainable, regulated, and embodied learning experience.
Stillness, Silence & Sound
We are deeply attentive to the relationship between stillness, silence, and sound — and how each one affects the nervous system and energetic body.
Following the powerful success of our sound-infused Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Morocco, sound will once again be intentionally woven into this training. Used with care and purpose, sound supports energetic release, deep listening, and nervous system down-regulation. It complements the long-held stillness of Yin, adding another layer of depth to how the practice is experienced and integrated.
Sound is not an add-on here — it is part of the energetic language of the training.
A Fully Immersive Retreat-Style Experience
This training is offered as a fully immersive retreat experience across two long weekends, rather than an in-studio course without accommodation or food.
By staying on-site, sharing meals, resting between sessions, and spending time in nature, participants remain within the energetic container of the training. This allows for deeper reflection, connection, and embodiment — essential elements when working with Yin Yoga on this level.
Private, Nature-Infused Accommodation
One key piece of feedback from our first retreat-style Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Dingle was the desire for greater privacy and comfort around sleeping arrangements.
We are delighted that Cabra Lodge meets this need beautifully.
Fiona has purpose-built eight newly built cabins, set gently into the surrounding hills just a short walk from the training space. Each cabin, built for 2-4 persons offers private sleeping accommodation. There are 2 private rooms and one shared bathrooms in each cabin. Overlooking Sligo and the surrounding landscape, the cabins provide a quiet, grounded space to rest, integrate, and reset between sessions.
This balance of privacy, nature, and proximity to the training space supports the nervous system and enhances the overall retreat experience.
Set in the hills outside Sligo, the location offers space, quiet, and a strong sense of grounding. The natural environment supports deep rest and presence, creating ideal conditions for learning, reflection, and integration.
Taking care of all of our culinary needs during the experience is Fiona and her team . We cannot wait to enjoy a fully catered nourishing experience for breakfast lunch and dinner served at the retreat center.
The experience kicks off with arrival on Friday morning and a delicious welcoming lunch together as our first meal.
All meals are provided throughout the 4 night and 4 day training experience finishing up with a delicious lunch together on Sunday.

A note from Miriam to our Summer 2025 Yin Yoga Teachers in Training
Dear Yin Yoga Teachers Soon to be in training. Our 50 Hours Yin Yoga Teacher Training course has been designed slowly, carefully and infused with Yin energy in it's development, delivery and ongoing improvements. Every time the course has been delivered, we have gathered and integrated feedback hoping to improve the experience for those embarking on the journey. Our goal is not just to give you the tools to teach Yin Yoga Sessions, but to ignite your journey on the path of inviting more Yin energy into your own personal and professional life (hense the 12 week Immersion element following the course) We believe that the real art of teaching of Yin Yoga lies within the energy you genuinely and truly cultivate and curate in your life on and off the mat, An energy which is in turn exuded from your presence, experienced by those around you and palpable within your classes. Holding space is never as simple as delivering theory you pull from a book or manual...
I would love to be there with you in Dingle this Summer for one of the most special Yin experiences we have built to date. A residential, retreat style course where students and teachers learn together, live together, eat together and explore the beauty of the surrounding areas as a group. Bliss.
However, I will be embarking on my own very special, personal and private 'retreat' - taking time to relish in the arrival of my newborn.
I have no doubt Glenna and Rachael will guide you through the in-person elements of the course better than I could myself. I have been inspired by my experiences with them delivered by their way of teaching and their absolute passion for their craft. I am proud that they are part of BeWell.
I will be overseeing your experience on the course and experience and ensuring all is well prepared, smoothly run and organised.
I will also be overseeing and in touch regularly with your trainers for both the in person element and the ongoing 12 Week Immersion following.
So, while not there in body, I will absolutely be there in spirit for your experience.

With over 10 years of experience in empowering people to reach their ultimate potential through daily habits and practices that support personal wellbeing, Miriam's unwavering passion is contagious.
From Lake Como, Italy to Bali, Miriam has traveled the globe to attend training courses and retreats in ancient wellness skills rooted in Yoga, Meditation, Ayurveda, Mindfulness, Yoga Philosophy, and Sound Healing. Her journey led her to become an internationally recognized RYT-200 Yoga Teacher after studying intensively in Ubud, Bali in January 2015.
Miriam offered Vinyasa Flow Yoga lessons in the picturesque Lake Como, Milan, and Ticino, Switzerland, before her heart led her back home to Ireland in 2019. Since then, she founded BeWell-Ireland and the BeWell-Yoga Teacher Training School, training over 150 Yoga Teacher Trainees from around the globe.
Her innovative approach to teaching includes a hybrid mechanic, blending in-person and online elements, allowing for flexibility and accessibility for all trainees.
But Miriam's passion doesn't stop there. In September 2021, BeWell Longford, our brick-and-mortar Yoga Studio/Holistic Center, opened its doors, allowing us to serve the local community with our Yoga and Pilates classes, and Holistic treatments.
Miriam believes that operating a Yoga Studio/Holistic centre and teaching Yoga full time further supports the strength and quality of our teacher training programs.
'BeWell understands and serves the needs of our local community on a full time basis. We are plugged into the community and continue to improve our classes, workshops and teacher training courses as per their ongoing feedback. The people who invest in our studio weekly for their classes support us in the understanding of serving clients with Yin as per community needs rather than theory from textbooks.
This sets us apart from other courses as we offer
-
yoga teacher trainers who teach Yoga as their full time job
-
yoga teacher trainers who have experience running Yoga studios
-
yoga teacher trainers who work with the public in person on an ongoing regular basis
-
yoga teacher trainers who run teachers trainings alongside workshops, events and weekly classes rather than back to back 'cookie cutter' teacher trainings only
We cannot wait to support you on this journey through Yin @ the Stunning location of Cabra Lodge - Sligo
