REVIEWS

Taylor reviews SONA Retreat

“I attended a yoga & wellness retreat at SONA Retreat in September 2023. It was nothing short of perfect! The retreat space was clean, spacious, and a welcoming space to reconnect with myself and others through yoga and meditation. There is ample outdoor space for camping, eating, and other activities which we utilized since the weather was amazing! There is also a pier with a beach for swimming less than 10 minutes walk away! I definitely recommend SONA Retreat.”

“I held my first ever yoga retreat at Karen’s space and I honestly could not recommend it more! It’s so perfect for retreats or any events you want to hold there. It is in the most beautiful, nature-filled area. Also, the shala is so gorgeous and fully-stocked. The best part was that it was just a ten-minute walk to the sea, and we all went for a dip! All of my guests couldn’t get over how beautiful the space was. I highly recommend SONA Retreat to anyone who is looking for the perfect, cozy Irish escape! I can’t wait to be back.

“The location is amazing, close to the sea and on walking trails. The studio is fully equipped with great quality mats, bolsters, blocks, blankets etc. There is a 2 ring hob, cutlery, crockery etc along with really thoughtful items such as herbal teas, candles etc. Karen was an absolute pleasure to deal with, friendly, organised and really helpful. Instructions were clear and she really thought of everything. Looking forward to hosting more retreats here 🙏”
