Studio Be
MOVEMENT . STILLNESS . RITUAL . NATURE . CONNECTION
Wild spirit of Donegal home to Glenavy.
With the help of family, we created Studio Be, a welcoming space offering both indoor and outdoor facilities in a beautiful rural setting, just 25 minutes from Belfast. At Studio Be, you are invited to Be nourished back to your natural, healthy and connected state of Being.
Inspired by the powerful elements of Earth, Water, Fire and Air, we have created a haven of peace and tranquillity, nestled in an idyllic rural setting. Through breath work and movement, come back home to your body and allow your nervous system to unravel and settle. Through ritual and stillness, connect with your innate wisdom and intuition.
Breathe. Move. Connect.
Using somatic techniques to regulate your nervous system, along with nature-based practices, Lucille will invite you to embody a sense of safety and connection within your Body. Connecting with the energy of the natural world, Lucille will guide you to Be present in the moment, to calm your nervous system and balance your energy.
Slow down and Reconnect
When we slow down, it is easier to connect with the intuitive wisdom of our body. As we listen to the innate intelligence of our body, we can reclaim our power to choose what will be supportive and regenerative for our health and wellbeing in that moment.
Potent practices and supportive workshops
Calm your nervous system, build strength and resilience, and create positive changes for your health and wellbeing.
Discover how to be present with the busyness of your life, while having the awareness of how to use breath and movement to calm your body and bring clarity to your mind.
You can navigate your days and ride the waves, knowing how to return to a sense of balance, flow and ease.
You can motivate yourself to take action, without anxiety and burnout.
You can turn to rest and ease without collapse and overwhelm.
Lucille’s unique teaching methods combine modern, science-based movement practices, with ancient wisdom practices and traditions connected to the Earth’s cycles.
The studio sits at the very heart of our retreat.
Finished in calming muted earth tones and completed with a warm, wooden floor with underfloor heating, our studio offers the ultimate comforting space for indoor classes. There is an adjacent room for gatherings and meetings, with easy access to toilet facilities and a small kitchen.

I'M NEW TO YOGA, WILL THE RETREAT SUIT ME?
Everyone is welcome. No previous experience is necessary. Our movement is about moving in a way that feels suitable for each person in their own body. I will always give alternatives if something feels too challenging.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
Please bring outdoor wear for being in nature. I recommend bringing some waterproof gear with you in case it’s needed and suitable shoes for walking.
Please bring loose clothing that you feel comfortable moving in, extra layers for warmth, a water bottle that you can refill, and a journal/pen. We move in bare feet in the studio space.
