What to Expect
Celebrate the arrival of Summer!
A weekend on the ruggad shores of West Cork
A intimate weekend away in the coastal village of Glandore West cork
2 nights to move, swim, eat and celebrate the brightest days of the year!
West Cork is one of those rare places where the landscape itself feels like a healing force. At the start of summer, the rugged coastline comes alive. Wild, breathtaking, and bathed in long, bright days that seem to open something in you. The sun lingers late into the evening, lighting up cliffs, coves, and rolling hills in a way that makes every moment feel expansive and full of possibility.
Two Morning pilates classes to start your day, afternoons strolling down country lanes to the local swimming spots, reading and resting in sun filled terraces and cosy couches. fueling up with nourishing brightly plated lunches, evening Yin and Restorative Yoga sessions to settle and soothe the body and mind, dinners that are generous and nightly bonfires to roast marshmallows and toast in the summer months.
Here, nature becomes the true star of the retreat. The fresh Atlantic air, the rhythm of the waves, the softness of the light, and the quiet strength of the land all create the perfect environment for slowing down, breathing deeply, and reconnecting with yourself. It’s a place where simply being outside feels restorative. Ocean view House Glandore is a complete heaven,nestled just around the corner of Glandore Village. Lots of space to socialise in and outdoors as well as private nooks to rest and read.This retreat is an intimate retreat, all rooms are ensuite and designed to be shared with close friends or family.

Your teacher & Host
Conás atá tú?
Hello!
My name is Hannah, founder of BÍOG. I am a movement practitioner and instructor based in West Kerry where I lead daily classes of Pilates, Barre, Dance,Yoga, Breath work, Meditation and Sound Healing in the coastal town of Dingle on the West coast of Ireland. I've built a kind community of people off all ages who have made low impact movement and somatic practices a part of their lives for the past 5 years.
I have been working globally as a movement instructor for over 10 years following multiple trainings and certifications in these practices during my travels in New York, Los Angeles, Copenhagen, Sydney, India and Dublin. My love and knowledge of somatic movement practices became an integral part of my life during my professional contemporary dance training.
I continually work with various populations in group/semi private and 1:1 sessions. All bodies abilities and ages including ; athletes, retirees, people with varying degrees of injuries and illnesses.My movement style of teaching is contemporary and very influenced from my eclectic training background. I make sure movement feels accessible to all, challenging but never feeling out of reach, always giving options to suit different bodies, abilities and energy levels.
I am so excited to bring you to West Cork!
