Hey, Dia Dhuit!
Welcome in, this is a warm, soulful space for yoga, connection, and coming back to yourself. I host yoga classes, quirky community events, sauna gatherings, and retreats that feel equal parts nourishing and fun.
I'm also the creator of The Velvet Ritual, an app featuring yoga, meditation for emotions, and breathwork - designed to help you reconnect, release, and rise.
I'm passionate about building community, honoring human connection, and staying authentic- cheering each other on every step of the way. I'm 47, married to my wonderful husband Tom, and raising our Light warrior daughter Holly, age 9. Pull up a cushion-let's Chillín together.

Retreats with Chillín with Tara
Escape the everyday and step into a truly nourishing space- where your body can move, your breath can soften, and your mind can rest. My retreats are designed to feel luxurious, grounding, and deeply restorative, blending practices that help you reconnect to yourself from the inside out.

- Sound bath (sometimes), for deep integration and relaxation

Each retreat is held in a way that feels welcoming and elevated-supportive from the moment you arrive, and quietly transformative long after you leave.

Benefits you can feel (stacked together)
Contrast therapy (hot sauna + cold plunge/therapy)

- Trains nervous system shifts between heat and cold—often leaving you feeling more resilient and steady
Yoga Nidra (deep guided relaxation)

Pranayama (breathwork)

Together, these practices create a full-body experience: you warm, soften, regulate, and then come back feeling refreshed-calm in the nervous system, open in the body, and re-centered in yourself.
coffee rave
What is a Coffee Rave?
A Coffee Rave is a high-energy, feel-good hangout where the vibe of a rave meets the comfort of great coffee. Think: music, good people, a relaxed party atmosphere, and coffee at the center of it all-often with themed drinks, special blends, and a community feel you can't get from a standard café run.
Set the scene
You arrive to warm lighting and a buzzing soundtrack. The crowd is moving, chatting, laughing, and vibing - some people are there to dance, some are there to chill and socialize, and everyone is there for the same reason: to enjoy a fun night (or morning) with coffee that actually feels like an experience.
It's not "quiet coffee time"- it's coffee as a ritual, a mood, and a party.
Price
Tickets are **€12–€17 per person**, depending on:
- the location
- the event style
- the date and time (weekend vs midweek; morning vs evening)
Keep an eye open for updates on my instagram & Facebook channels for the next event location, or stayed tuned to my booking page here to view all current offerings:

Benefits
- A mood lift: coffee + music + community = an instant, feel-good boost
- A social reset: easy to meet new people and feel part of a fun scene
- A "treat yourself" ritual: you leave having enjoyed something special, not just grabbed a drink
- Energy that's balanced: you get a lift from coffee without the typical intensity—more playful, more welcoming
- Memories + atmosphere: it feels like an event, not a routine outing

About me
get to know me
Tara Chillín was born in London in 1979 and moved to Ireland at 12, growing up in County Leitrim in the northwest. She later moved to Dublin, where she trained and worked as cabin crew with Air France, and from there life led her to her wonderful husband, Tom. Together they travelled the world, married, and welcomed in their beautiful daughter, Holly.
Today, Tara and her family live in the countryside in the west of Ireland in a cozy cottage homestead, where they grow their own organic food and stay deeply rooted in nature. Nature is where she returns to herself—where her nervous system resets, her creativity flows, and her soul lessons unfold.
Yoga has been a part of Tara's life since childhood, taught through the lineage of her mother, Geraldine. She's always felt both intuitive and spiritually connected—grounded in her Virgo nature. Her journey has included teaching for over two decades (20+ years), with training in Dublin, as well as further studies in Australia, the UK, and India.
Along the way, Tara has also worked in charity and community-focused work, including supporting street children in Calcutta with the Hug Foundation. She's been a sky-high adventurer too—starring in a TV commercial for McVitie's biscuits in Kuala Lumpur, and working in a ski resort in Coronet Peak, New Zealand.
Now, as a mother and homemaker, Tara creates from a place of joy and belief: when we move into our creative flow, we find more life—more light, more presence, and more joy.

My vision
My vision for ''Chillín with Tara' is to create a welcoming space where people from all walks of life come together to share gifts, discover talents, and uncover what's been waiting quietly within them.
Through every offering-movement, breathwork, yoga, sauna rituals, nature-grown medicine and herbs, and simple daily practices like gratitude and journaling-I aim to bring fun, joy, uplift, and high-vibrational energy. My work helps people reconnect with themselves, remember who they are, and feel their power again-more sovereign, more grounded, and more in control of their own lives.
And beyond the present moment, this is bigger than one experience. I want these lessons and practices to ripple outward-into family life, into the way we raise our children, and into the next generations-so that our daughters and sons can carry forward this deeper remembering, this steadiness, and this sense of inner freedom.
