Thanks to all at the Burren yoga retreat for a weekend of nourishment for the mind and body , I came on my own and would highly recommend this place for solo travellers . I met lovely people ,who mostly came on their own too and it was such a pleasure to hang out with these people for the few days. Our host Dave made us feel really at home and our yoga/ meditation teacher was amazing . The food prepared by gearoid was out of this world . I genuinely felt revived and excited about trying out all I learned from the weekend in the future . I'll definitely be back and it's great to know such a place exists .Thanks to all xx

Myself and my friend enjoyed an amazing weekend retreat at the Burren Yoga in February. To say I went home like a new woman is no exaggeration. I was blown away by the hospitality, kindness and love shown by the retreat owner - Dave, our yoga teacher - Carmel Cronin (owner of YogaZone in Cork) and the fantastic cook - Gearoid who prepared delicious vegetarian and vegan food that was a culinary treat for our taste buds. Our retreat focused on yin yoga and meditation. Carmel is a fantastic yoga teacher and took excellent care of each guest. She adjusted positions, took people’s experience and body types into account and ensured we had the best possible experience. Yoga Nidra before bed was superb. I slept like a baby. We explored the Burren’s wild landscape with Dave, followed by a delicious seafood lunch in a fabulous local restaurant. The retreat accommodation is spotlessly clean whilst feeling homely and comforting too. I enjoyed my experience so much, I’ve booked another retreat in May. I can honestly say that Burren Yoga Retreats is an absolute gem and I’m delighted to have found it.

I attended the weekend retreat with an open mind and heart and was warmly welcomed by Dave who introduced us to the new concept of "karmic yoga" and I found myself on a rota with a like-spirited group of people. Bella Hancock engaged us in a wonderful practice of hatha yoga and profound meditations which were so therapeutic and restorative. I was a little apprehensive about sharing a room with "strangers" but we all soon relaxed in each other's company. The bunk beds were beautifully carved and very comfortable. Gearóid served up delightful vegetarian dishes which sustained our practice over the weekend. I really enjoyed an outing we took one afternoon with Dave up to the Burren hills which connected me immediately with my ancestral family. We had our meal in a restaurant at New Quay which was also delicious. All in all, the weekend was a very special retreat with the best balance of time out and time in and I would highly recommend the Burren Yoga Centre to anyone, especially beginners, wishing to start or continue a healthy lifestyle practice.
