“ For anyone with even the slightest interest in yoga this is a fantastic opportunity to receive personal attention from one of the world’s best”

Yoga is now widely recognised as a huge benefit for health and well-being. Regular practice is often recommended by medical practitioners for all manner of ailments, including back pain and stress relief.

This exciting event is one of many yoga packages being developed by Gabriele and her team at Blaney Spa, during the coming year. In June alone there are 2 yoga events, painting workshops and a Mid Summer Fest with gorgeous food and music. The Blaney Spa is a luxurious facility overlooking Lough Erne and it is open to all, no memberships fees are required. Gabriele went on to point out,

“ Blaney is a dedicated yoga and spa centre of very high standards. But we open our doors to all, there is no membership fees and no exclusivity. We really want to provide healing from within these walls.”

Blaney Spa is a member of the Greenbox a new cross border tourism initiative, that combines high environmental standards without comprising on luxury or facilities. A spokes person for the Greenbox Mary Mulvey said,

“Blaney Spa is located beside Lough Erne is one of the most beautiful places in Ireland. By choosing to incorporate eco standards into her business business, Gabriele can be confident that her commercial activities will not spoil this natural resource.”

All the events are published on the Blaney website and Greenbox websites. The yoga weekend has already got booking from all over the world.
