From Yoga to Corporate Retreats: The Many Faces of Splash
26th February 2025
While Splash is mainly associated with the amazing Wibit inflatable Aquapark, it is much, much more than that! Activities like Paddleboarding, Kayaking, and Wood-fired Saunas are excellent for getting out of the house and onto the water even during the Aquapark off-season, but did you know Splash is also regularly the backdrop for yoga classes, meditation sessions, and various corporate conferences? Read on to learn about the diversity of events on show at Splash!
A Sanctuary for Mindfulness & Well-being
With Splash’s remote location in a tranquil and natural setting, it is no surprise that it has been utilised by a number of mindfulness and well-being groups over the years, the most notable of which have been Happy Minds Grateful Hearts and Yogi Diaries, who have made Splash their temporary home since Splash opened.
Happy Minds Grateful Hearts
Happy Minds Grateful Hearts is an organisation dedicated to promoting mental health and well-being through educational workshops and holistic approaches, focusing primarily on mindfulness meditation and yoga. The organisation was founded by Amanda Brennan, a trainee psychotherapist and holistic practitioner, the group’s sessions delve into the physiological effects of stress. Amanda Brennan has become a great friend to Splash over the years, regularly undertaking sessions at Splash involving mindfulness and yoga, incorporating Splash’s wood-fired saunas and picturesque views.
Yogi Diaries
Yogi Diaries is a group in a similar vein as Happy Minds Grateful Hearts, however, it focuses more on yoga and its transformative power in daily life. Led by Laura Gilligan, who fell into the world of yoga almost by accident – she initially went to some yoga classes at a leisure centre just to get out of the house, but ended up finding her calling in the world of yoga via a visit to an angel card reader! Laura’s sessions at Splash have mainly focused on her yoga work, often including Splash’s wood-fired saunas and brunch from the Top Deck eatery.
You can actually hear Amanda and Laura in Splash’s brand new podcast Splash Chats, available now on Spotify and YouTube – https://linktr.ee/splashni.
Other Well-being Leaders at Splash
Other notable well-being organisations that have visited Splash over the years are The Brain Geek, led by Joanne Morgan which focuses on stress reduction, personal growth, and general support, mainly for women; Hannah Downey, who was a Wim Hof Method certified instructor, which is a self-improvement technique originally developed by Dutch athlete Wim Hof, involving various breathing techniques, cold exposure, and commitment, making Splash the perfect place for these type of classes; and Natural Resilience, led by Ciaran May, a former international powerlifter with over a decade of experience in human behaviour and performance, his sessions mainly focused on breathwork and meditation.
