Douglas Street is going car-free this Sunday for Autumn Fest — and we’re bringing our mats out onto the street to join it 🌿
For one afternoon, one of Cork’s best-loved streets turns into a festival: live music, circus, a craft fair, food, and right in the middle of it, us — offering free, drop-in yoga and pilates for anyone who wants to pause for twenty minutes and breathe.
No booking. No experience needed. No mat required. Just turn up whenever suits, join wherever the class is at, and stay as long as you like.
The line-up:
🧘♀️ 2–3pm — mini yoga with Chloe N
🤸♀️ 3–4pm — mini pilates with Shannen W
🧘 4–5pm — mini yoga with Lisa F
This one’s for everyone. Bring a friend who’s never tried yoga and has been meaning to. Our teachers will meet you exactly where you are — that’s the whole point of practising outdoors, in public, on a street you know.
The only thing we ask is a donation on the day, all of which goes to Cork Simon Community — a cause that’s close to home for all of us at ālaya, supporting people experiencing homelessness right here in Cork.
We’ll be easy to find — look for the mats outside Nano Nagle Place. Come find your teachers, come find your neighbours, come find twenty minutes for yourself in the middle of a very busy Sunday. Douglas Street
