The Wild Atlantic Way
The Wild Atlantic Way is a scenic driving route that stretches along the western coast of Ireland. It is one of the longest defined coastal driving routes in the world, covering approximately 2,500 kilometers (1,500 miles) from County Donegal in the north to County Cork in the south.
It is an awe-inspiring stretch of coastal beauty that captures the essence of Ireland's untamed wild landscape. Towering cliffs, pounded by the mighty Atlantic Ocean, command attention with their sheer majesty, while secluded beaches offer a tranquil respite amidst the wildness. The rolling hills, emerald meadows, and quaint coastal villages add a touch of charm to this magnificent panorama. The Wild Atlantic Way is an invitation to embrace the untamed, to lose yourself in the raw beauty of nature, and to witness the extraordinary power and tranquillity that coexist along this mesmerizing coastal journey.

Tate Englund - Vinyasa Teacher, Movement Specialist
Influenced by injuries and obsession with anatomy, Tate Englund, an E-500RYT, specializes in functional, technique-based vinyasa. Studying years with Jason Crandell, inspired by the teachings of Dr. Andreo Spina, a sports specialist, and the mindfulness meditation teachings of Tara Brach and others, Tate continues to refine his teaching and personal practice, working to improve quality of life by focusing on the balance between strength & flexibility.
Tate believes that yoga is a practice of self inquiry, less about the pretty shapes, and more about what the postures are trying to do. If we can understand the actions & the functionality, it allows the practice to be more about the impact it has on our daily life.
Based in the US, Tate has thousands of hours teaching public classes, leading teacher trainings, yoga immersions, workshops and retreats around the world.
Influenced by a stressful corporate lifestyle and injuries from running, Lisa Hughes, 500RYT specialises in yin and restorative yoga to stretch the body while calming and down regulating the nervous system.
Lisa has a meditation practice of over 20 years and is qualified in both MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) and Finding Peace in a Frantic World, and believes that yoga is a practice of embodiment and mindful movement that not only strengthens the body but also can quieten the mind. She has a functional approach to yoga whatever your skeleton or body type and is passionate about making yoga accessible and beneficial to all. She believes that yoga as a doorway into the body and mind connection gives us practical tools to better navigate the challenges and stresses of everyday life.
Based in Dublin Lisa teaches vinyasa, yin and restorative yoga classes in Yogahub and online as well as being on the faculty of the Yogahub 200 YTT and the Yoga Next Door 300TT.
