On any given evening at Dollymount Strand, you'll find runners chasing personal bests, families enjoying the sea breeze, and dog walkers soaking in one of Dublin's most beautiful coastal settings. But on the night of a full moon, something a little different happens. Mats are rolled out, the sound of the waves replaces the noise of the city, and a growing community gathers around yoga instructor Meg Wrenn to pause, breathe and reconnect. In a world that often feels busy, divided and permanently switched on, Meg Wrenn has created something refreshingly simple: a welcoming outdoor yoga community where people from all walks of life can spend an hour focusing on movement, mindfulness and genuine connection. Her Full Moon Yoga sessions at Dollymount Beach have become one of Dublin's most talked-about wellness gatherings, attracting newcomers, experienced yogis, families, students, professionals and visitors who simply want to experience a different side of Ireland's wellness culture. More Than Just a Yoga Class Outdoor yoga has grown in popularity across Ireland over the past few years, but Meg's sessions have developed into something much bigger than exercise. For many attendees, they represent an opportunity to disconnect from the pressures of everyday life. Instead of screens, notifications and deadlines, participants are surrounded by open skies, fresh sea air and the rhythm of the tide. The atmosphere is intentionally relaxed. There is no expectation to be perfect. No pressure to know every pose. Everyone is encouraged to move at their own pace. That welcoming approach is one of the reasons her community continues to grow. Whether someone has practised yoga for years or is stepping onto a mat for the very first time, the message remains the same: Everyone is welcome. Why Dollymount Beach Is the Perfect Setting Few places in Dublin offer the natural backdrop of Dollymount Strand. Stretching along Dublin Bay, the beach has become one of the capital's favourite locations for walking, running, swimming and now, outdoor yoga. As the sun begins to set and the moon rises over the coastline, the environment naturally encourages people to slow down. The combination of sea air, open space and gentle movement creates an experience that many participants describe as calming and restorative. Rather than being confined within four walls, yoga becomes part of the landscape itself. It's easy to understand why so many people return month after month. Building Community Through Wellness Perhaps the biggest success behind Meg Wrenn's work isn't simply the yoga itself. It's the sense of community that has grown around it. Ireland has become increasingly multicultural, with people from every corner of the world choosing to call the country home. Events like Full Moon Yoga create opportunities for those communities to meet outside of work or social media. People arrive as strangers. Many leave having made new friends. Some return every month. Others bring family members, colleagues or neighbours. In a time when loneliness continues to affect people of all ages, creating spaces where conversations happen naturally has become incredibly valuable. Community wellness isn't just about stretching. It's about belonging. Choosing Positivity Like many people who share their work publicly online, Meg has spoken openly about occasionally receiving unpleasant messages. Rather than allowing negativity to define her work, she continues to focus on what matters most—helping people feel healthier, calmer and more connected. Building any public community takes courage. It also requires consistency. Every event involves planning, communication and showing up with energy for others. Despite the occasional challenges that come with having an online presence, Meg's message remains centred on kindness, wellbeing and inclusion. That positive mindset is perhaps one of the reasons her community continues to flourish. Wellness Is Becoming Part of Modern Ireland Ireland's relationship with health and wellbeing has evolved significantly. Cold-water swimming groups continue to expand. Park runs attract thousands every weekend. Walking clubs, hiking communities and outdoor fitness sessions are growing across the country. Yoga has naturally become part of that movement. Increasingly, people are looking beyond physical fitness alone. Mental wellbeing. Stress management. Mindfulness. Quality sleep. Better breathing. Real human connection. These are now just as important as strength or flexibility. Meg's Full Moon Yoga sessions fit perfectly within this broader movement. Rather than focusing on performance, they encourage presence. A Space That Feels Accessible One of the most appealing aspects of Meg's events is their accessibility. There is no need to fit a particular image. No requirement to be experienced. No expectation that yoga looks a certain way. People arrive in comfortable clothes with a mat and an open mind. That simplicity makes the sessions approachable for people who may have never considered yoga before. For many, the beach removes the intimidation that can sometimes exist inside traditional studios. Nature has a way of making everyone feel equal. The Power of Small Rituals There is something symbolic about gathering under a full moon. Across many cultures, the full moon represents reflection, renewal and new beginnings. Whether participants connect with that symbolism personally or simply enjoy spending an evening outdoors, the experience encourages people to pause for a moment in lives that often move far too quickly. Those small rituals matter. Taking time away from phones. Watching the sunset. Breathing deeply. Meeting new people. They may seem simple, but together they create something meaningful. Social Media Used for Something Positive Much of today's online world can feel dominated by outrage and endless scrolling. Meg's social media offers a different perspective. It serves as a place where people discover upcoming classes, celebrate community moments and find encouragement to prioritise their wellbeing. Instead of promoting unrealistic lifestyles, the focus remains on movement, mindfulness and genuine connection. It's a reminder that social media can still be used to bring people together offline. Looking Ahead With each passing month, the Full Moon Yoga community continues to grow. More people are discovering the benefits of spending an evening outdoors, moving mindfully and sharing space with others who simply want to feel a little more present. If you've been thinking about trying yoga but weren't sure where to begin, this may be one of the most welcoming places to start. Whether you're an experienced yogi or someone who has never stepped onto a mat before, the beach has room for everyone. How to Join Meg Wrenn regularly shares updates, class information and community news on her Instagram page. Her July Full Moon Yoga session date is expected to be announced next week, so keep an eye on her latest posts if you'd like to take part. Bring a yoga mat, comfortable clothing, an open mind and perhaps a friend. You may leave feeling lighter than when you arrived. Sometimes, the most powerful communities don't begin inside buildings. Sometimes they begin with a beach, a full moon and one person willing to invite everyone to breathe together.
