At Mutton Lane Yoga Studio · Grasslands, Mutton Lane, Ballyboden, Dublin 16
Only the published dates are confirmed for this programme.
Mutton Lane Yoga Studio in the hills above Ballyboden runs an 8-week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction course starting Wednesday 7 October, taught by Sylvia Ferguson MSc MBI. It suits anyone looking for a structured, evidence-based approach to managing stress rather than a single drop-in class, and is a genuine time commitment rather than a taster session.
Each of the eight weekly sessions runs two and a half hours, from 10am to 12:30pm, and covers seated meditation, guided body scans and mindful movement practice, building progressively over the course rather than repeating the same content. There is also one full-day retreat built into the programme. Participants are asked to commit to 35 to 45 minutes of home practice on most days of the week, which is a core part of how MBSR courses are designed to work rather than an optional extra. The course runs through to 25 November, giving an eight-week arc that lines up with the shift into shorter, darker days, which many participants find is exactly when a structured stress reduction practice is most useful. A €60 deposit secures a place, with the €300 balance due by 1 December.
Mutton Lane Yoga Studio is reached by car, on the mountain side of Ballyboden; there is no direct bus route this far up, so driving is the practical option for a weekly Wednesday morning commitment.
Ballyboden village at the foot of the hill has cafes for afterwards, and the wider Dublin mountains around the Hell Fire Club are worth exploring given how close the studio sits to the trailheads. There is more to explore across Co. Dublin.
