Ask about OctoberWhat a morning at Killua looked like
We have already run a three-hour Sunday morning retreat at the castle. Fiona guided the group through the morning, with a walk on the boardwalk before brunch, and it finished with chats and wholesome food. You can read what one guest thought below.
Where is Killua Castle?
Killua Castle is near Clonmellon, on the Westmeath side of Athboy. It is about ten minutes from Athboy and a couple of minutes from Clonmellon. The castle is a private home, so the retreat is booked through Grá Wellness, not the castle.
The house was built around 1780 for Sir Benjamin Chapman and was turned into a castle in the 1820s. It fell into ruin in the last century, and its owners have restored it since 1999.
Want a shorter taste first?
Fiona also teaches Soulful Yoga at Killua Castle on one Sunday morning a month at 10am. It is a single class rather than a full day, and one of the Let's Get Social events we run around Athboy.

I recently attended a morning retreat (3 hours) with Fiona (Grá Wellness) in Killua Castle, The space Fiona created for us, was nourishment for mind, body and soul. As we all lead busy lives this was a perfect timeout Sunday morning. Fiona guided us perfectly throughout the morning including a board walk before brunch, beautiful morning finished off with chats and wholesome food most importantly lovely company
I have attended many of Fiona's classes and my first yoga retreat in Malaga. The retreat was a brillant few days away with a fantastic group of ladies. Fiona ensured that everyone enjoyed their experience. The group sunrise yoga and sea swim was a highlight. I really enjoyed my few days to switch off. I would highly recommend and I cannot wait for the next one
I attended the yoga abroad retreat last year and it was the best decision I made. Fiona made me feel so welcome and gave us a range of different classes. The women on the retreat were lovely and I can’t wait for the next one. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of attending.
Grá Wellness is an idyllic retreat ideal for both indoor and outdoor yoga classes. The studio is a sanctuary that offers relaxation as soon as you walk through the door and Fiona's friendly greeting makes everyone, male and female, welcome. Fiona is amazing. The best yoga instructor I have ever had - her personality makes the classes. She is attentive, reassuring and her positive energy is contagious.
My first ever yoga retreat and it did not disappoint. Fiona had everything well organised, Sun rise yoga followed by a sea swim was so special, Accommodation was superb. Great few days away spent with a fabulous bunch of women. Can't wait for the next one. Highly recommend.
Had a wonderful yoga retreat in Malaga last November with Fiona. Hotel facilities were fabulous. We had a couple of yoga sessions each day - sunrise on the beach and then a dip following the yoga. Felt set up for the winter hibernation by the time I made the home ward journey. Lovely group of women I only knew 2 of them before the trip. Look forward to the next retreat with Grá Wellness
