Comhcheol Arts and Wellness is an innovative small business founded by artist and yoga teacher, Maria Coleman. Based on Donegal’s Wild Atlantic Way, it brings you creative and yoga practices for wellbeing, with a special emphasis on mental health. Comhcheol is the Irish for ‘harmony,’ meaning literally ‘music together’ and Comhcheol likewise blends unique but complementary practices to create a harmonic whole.

Donegal Yoga Retreats is our boutique retreat offering and Self Care Sunday is our signature yoga workshop, both operating since 2017​. Beoga is a teen wellbeing programme that blends yoga and psychology, co-facilitated and co-developed by Maria. She is also the Donegal Positive Birth Movement facilitator and also runs the Donegal Yoga Group on Facebook.

Comhcheol arts workshops always look to nudge their participants towards playful creative flow, and are likely to involve percussion, movement, song, drawing and improvisation. These workshops have run with diverse participant groups and always adapt to the group’s particular needs. Is minic a tharlíonn siad trí mheán na Gaeilge fosta! Maria’s Art Biog is available here.

Recent work has included  The ‘Yoga Drawing Jam’  as part of the First Fortnight festival and South Tipperary Arts Centre’s ‘Connect Create Inspire ‘ series. She also contributed ‘Mandala Mindfulness’ and Habit Hacking and Journaling’ courses to this series, while an Irish Language course ‘Aireachas ‘s Ealaín was part of Seachtain na Gaeilge, as was the video blog ‘Sábhalfaidh na Mná an Domhain’.

Currently she is leading out on an arts and health project supported by First Fortnight and Connecting for Life Donegal called ‘Filleadh Cholmcille’ and she is launching the Self Care Yoga Group.
