Yoga Picnic Returns on July 5th in Westmeath

The Yoga Picnic returns on July 5th, 2025, at Lilliput House on the shores of Lough Ennell, Co. Westmeath. The festival brings together leading international yoga teachers, wellness practitioners, and speakers for a day of movement, discussions, music, and nature.

The 2025 festival welcomes a new line-up of internationally respected teachers, including Hannah Barrett (UK), known for her Power Yoga, Lara Heimann. (US), who focuses on alignment, functional movement and spiritual wellness. Meanwhile, Manasi Sridhar (India) hailing from the home of yoga brings authentic yoga to life with her memorable and unique style. Adam and Holly Husler (a UK based husband and wife duo) will showcase Adam’s expertise in vinyasa yoga, dynamic movement, while his wife, Holly Husler (UK), will lead sound healing and meditation. Michael James Wong (hailing from the US originally) will explore the power of the breath, and Celeste Pereira (South Africa) will focus on playfulness in a yoga practice. The festival will also showcase some of Ireland’s most inspiring voices in yoga and wellbeing, including yoga teachers Mari Kennedy and Lou Horgan, with spoken word headliner Laura Murphy and meditation teacher Sinéad Mooney leading empowering sessions throughout the day.

This year’s festival will be the most comprehensive yet, with more dedicated areas and a rich variety of offerings. Attendees can enjoy a diverse schedule of yoga and movement practices including Vinyasa, Power, Restorative, and AcroYoga, alongside live music, mantra chanting, sound healing, drumming, and immersive sound baths. Back by popular demand is the high-energy Shakti Dance session, led by festival host Alice Harrison – a true highlight of the day. Attendees can also take part in outdoor experiences such as SUP (Stand Up Paddle Board) yoga, cold water therapy, and sauna sessions. Conscious living talks and workshops will focus on nutrition, plant-based cooking, and sustainable living.

Sustainability is at the heart of the festival which is powered by Kia Electric Vehicles. For the second year in a row, The Yoga Picnic partners with Kia Ireland to power the festival’s tents using Kia’s electric vehicles. As the first festival in Ireland to introduce this initiative, it reflects a commitment to reducing emissions and promoting sustainability.

"We are excited to continue working with Kia Ireland on this project. Their support allows us to reduce our environmental impact and lead the way in sustainable festival planning," says Alice Harrison, Co-Founder of The Yoga Picnic.

The Yoga Picnic was created by Mary Gardiner, Katy Harrison, and Alice Harrison, three friends, business owners, yoga teachers and two sisters. Their shared goal was to create an event that brings people together in nature to focus on movement, connection, and wellbeing. The festival highlights the importance of female-led businesses in the wellness industry. "This festival has grown each year into something special. Our aim is to create a welcoming space where people can reconnect—with themselves, each other, and the world around them," says Katy Harrison, Co-Owner of The Yoga Picnic.
