Annette Hayes

Laughter Yoga & Forest Bathing Facilitator

Annette Hayes is a Laughter Yoga Instructor and Forest Bathing Guide who brings lightness, presence, and a genuine sense of joy to her work.

Alongside her work as an adult tutor, Annette has facilitated sessions at retreats in Ireland and abroad, including in Co. Clare and Greece. She creates relaxed, welcoming spaces where people can soften, connect, and experience something a little different from their everyday pace.

At Nourish & Flow, Annette offers two very different but beautifully complementary experiences. Her Laughter Yoga sessions invite you to let go, have fun, and reconnect with a natural sense of joy through breath, play, and shared laughter. While many people arrive feeling a little unsure or self-conscious, that quickly shifts, and what follows is often a real lift in energy, a sense of lightness, and an unexpectedly empowering feeling that stays with you long after.

In contrast, her guided forest bathing sessions offer a slower, quieter experience, gently reconnecting you with nature through all five senses. Moving at an unhurried pace, these sessions create space to notice, to breathe, and to feel grounded in your surroundings.

Together, Annette’s sessions offer both uplift and stillness, inviting you to reconnect with yourself in simple, human ways, through joy, through nature, and through presence.

“Attending Nourish and Flow last year was the best gift I gave myself. From the moment I arrived I felt the stresses and to do lists evaporate as I stepped into a place of beauty, tranquility, a space for me to let go for a weekend and breathe. I felt fully taken care of. Everything you could wish for from a luxurious glamping festival. The only downside is it comes to an end”
