The Yoga Picnic An Intimate Yoga Festival on the banks of Lough Ennell, Celebrating Mind, Body, and Spirit.
“A beautiful gathering of like-minded souls. This day will fill my heart for quite a while to come. To use a few words to describe it: Joyful. Magic. Meaningful. Connection. Love. Soul Tribe. Uplifting. Inspiring.”
Crafted by three friends and enthusiastic yoga teachers, Alice Harrison, Mary Gardiner and Katy Harrison, The Yoga Picnic is a wellness experience which brings together Ireland’s leading holistic practitioners for a day of movement, therapies, discussion and music. Mary, a mother of four and yoga studio owner, together with Alice, a mother of two and criminal barrister held the first festival in 2022. They were joined by Katy, a full-time primary school teacher, in 2023 and together they have created Ireland’s leading yoga festival in order to share their commitment to community, connection and wellness with all.
Their mission for The Yoga Picnic is to showcase Ireland’s incredible yoga teachers and promote awareness about yogic philosophies, wellness, mental health, sustainability and the environment. Their first event was in 2022 on the grounds of Lilliput House, on the banks of Lough Ennell, Co Westmeath. The Yoga Picnic has now expanded from a local grassroots event to a large, award-winning yoga and wellbeing festival of international standards, with over 100 offerings on the day from leading Irish and international facilitators.

“With so much polarity and othering in today’s world, I came away feeling truly connected and with a deep sense of hope for our world and our future”
Yoga teachers, speakers, healers, poets and musicians from all around the country give classes in yoga, meditation, yoga nidra, ecstatic dance and mantra; perform music, drumming, sound healing and poetry; curate sacred cacao ceremonies; and provide a space for fun and exploration with acro-yoga, kids yoga and forest activities. Activities on Lough Ennell that are particularly memorable are the stand-up paddleboard (SUP) yoga and the outdoor Uisce Spa sessions that are available for the day. The festival closes with an evening yoga music concert with Jack Harrison and band which is a soulful celebration at the end of the day, with people dancing and singing their hearts out. As one attendee described, it felt as though “we collectively raised the vibration of the Midlands, if not the entire island.”
Sinead Mooney of Moons Yoga Loft Dublin:—”Everyone is talking about how exciting the festival is this year—and it IS! I feel like this is going to be Ireland’s powerhouse of a Yoga gathering for many, many years to come.
We hope to create an earth-wise, authentic and intimate environment which allows you to experience a journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation. We hope that you can be part of our movement to re-charge and reconnect to your body and mind while while simultaneously experiencing connection, harmony and union with our beautiful planet.
Our intention is to embrace the meaning of yoga – the ‘oneness’ or unity between all things. Our philosophy is one of kindness, connection, union, ahimsa (non-violence), sustainability and love, whether it is our bodies, our minds or mother earth. Our carefully curated line-up reflects our core values and we invite you to take time to re-energise and experience what our grass-roots festival has to offer.
Immerse yourself in everything The Yoga Picnic is. Let us come together to celebrate the power of yoga as we create a more peaceful and loving world, one breath at a time.
