Koru Wellness - a safe space to nurture your wellbeing

Koru Wellness opened in April this year with a mission to create a safe space to nurture community wellbeing. With a range of different classes and workshops to help support your wellbeing journey, there’s something for everyone. Located in the prestigious Castle Yard, this calm sanctuary in the heart of Kilkenny offers classes, workshops, and retreats, all designed to enrich your whole self - mind, body, and soul.

“Wellbeing has never been so important in our everyday lives,” says owner Jennie Cantwell. "We all had different experiences throughout the pandemic, but the underlying impact on our emotional wellbeing, particularly on our young people, has been profound. Finding space in our busy lives for self-care and wellbeing is essential to our overall physical, mental, and emotional health. Whether that means a walk in the forest, a movement class or a simple meditation or mindful activity, it all promotes a healthier way of living.”

“What we are seeing since we opened is customers from all ages and backgrounds that are seeking ways to connect back to themselves and disconnect from the busy brain and stresses of modern day living. Committing to a class on a regular basis is one way to support your wellbeing and to create a sense of inner calm.”

Engaging in wellbeing activities brings numerous benefits to our lives. It promotes physical health by boosting energy, strengthening the immune system, and improving sleep. Emotionally, it reduces stress, anxiety, and depression, fostering a more positive mindset and emotional resilience.

Classes at Koru Wellness include yoga, meditation, adult & child mindfulness, core & pelvic floor training, Qi Gong, Tai Chi and breathwork, with planning underway to extend the timetable in September. There are a number of retreats and workshops running throughout the summer including children’s workshops on creative writing, art, and mindfulness. Koru Wellness also offers therapeutic services including CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and anxiety-based workshops and corporate packages. With a team of expert practitioners and its serene environment, Koru Wellness has created a calming and nurturing space for relaxation and rejuvenation.
