Private Yoga at Caragh Lake House

Surrounded by the mountains and peaceful waters of Caragh Lake, Caragh Lake House is a natural place to slow down, reconnect and make time for wellbeing. For guests looking to enjoy private yoga during their stay in Kerry, we work with Soma Space Collective, founded by Holly and Bethany, to offer private yoga sessions here at the property.

Soma Space Collective brings a thoughtful and personal approach to yoga and wellbeing, with practices centred around movement, breath, relaxation and connection. Sessions are tailored to the group, making them equally suited to experienced yogis and complete beginners looking to enjoy a restorative wellness experience during their stay at Caragh Lake House.

Private yoga takes place at the property, so there is no need to travel or interrupt the rhythm of your stay. Surrounded by the tranquillity of Caragh Lake and the Kerry landscape, a session can be a wonderful way to begin the morning, unwind after a day exploring the Ring of Kerry, or simply set aside some time to relax and recharge.

Soma Space Collective was founded by Holly and Bethany, who share a passion for creating welcoming, considered wellness experiences through movement, breath and connection.

Your Private Yoga Session

A standard private yoga class lasts 60 minutes, with the flexibility to arrange a slightly shorter or longer session if preferred.

Soma Space Collective's usual teaching style is Vinyasa Yoga, a flowing practice that connects movement with breath. Every session can be tailored to suit the experience, ability and energy of your group, so no previous yoga experience is necessary.

Guests can choose a gentle, slower-paced practice, focusing on relaxation, mobility and mindful movement, or a more energetic Vinyasa Flow, with the option to incorporate additional challenges for those looking for a stronger practice.

Whether you are planning a wellness-focused escape, a gathering with friends or family, or simply want to incorporate some restorative time into your holiday, private yoga offers a lovely way to experience the peaceful surroundings of Caragh Lake and County Kerry.
