Burren Yoga Retreats 2025

These take place in the beautifully refurbished Burren Yoga Retreat Centre near Kinvara, Co. Galway, in the heart of the stunning Burren landscape. I love teaching here – the calm, the light-filled space and the warm-hearted, welcoming atmosphere.

Yoga and meditation allows us to tune inwards, guided walks and lunch together connect us to nature and to each other. Weekends give you space from daily life to unwind and replenish. Week-long retreats allow us to go deeper, and discover more about yoga, meditation and the Burren. Flexi-booking available for week-long retreats, see here.

Open to anyone, from beginners to teachers. I generally take a theme for each retreat, tuning into the landscape and the season. Whatever your yoga experience, you can work at your own pace. 
Come on your own, or with a friend.
Delicious vegetarian food – all diets catered for.

Beacons and Garlands 2025

The calm view of the sea representing Yoga through seasonal cycles and Celtic festivals

Beacons, guiding fire-signals on a point of elevation, allow us to tune into seasonal cycles and light the way towards our potential for transformation.
Garlands are the weaving of leaves, stems, flowers and fruits. Through yoga, we will investigate the weaving of our innate connection with the natural world and with each other.

The series consists of eight meetings on Zoom, of 3 hours each, with the option of in-person retreats at the Burren Yoga Retreat Centre to complement the online work. The Zoom series is conceived as a single entity, but you do have the option of signing up for single sessions if that works better for you.

This project represents the evolution of my Yoga for Changing Times series, exploring what it is to be human, now.

Beacons and Garlands is open to anyone with curiosity to explore deeply, playfully and creatively. We will tap into our innate intelligence and learn from each other.

  • All Zoom sessions are on Fridays, 4.00-7.00pm Irish/UK time, 17h-20h CET, 11am-2pm ET.
  • Dates: 31st January, 21st March, 2nd May 28th June, 1st August, 19th September, 31st October, 19th
  • All Zoom sessions will be recorded, and links sent out after each session to everyone who has enrolled.
  • Cost: €320/£266 for all 8 sessions or €45/£38 per session.

Payment:

  • EITHER: payment in full via the payment portal (PayPal or bank card via the links above),
  • OR in two equal instalments (deposit of €160/£133 by 10th December, balance €160/£133 by 10th January) via PayPal, Revolut, or Bank Transfer.

Yoga was traditionally taught through sūtra-s – concise aphorisms, strung together like pearls on a string, or flowers in a garland. Our ‘beacons and garlands’ will explore some key yoga themes which resonate with the eight ‘moments’ in the cycle of the year. We will work with body, breath and meditative practice, allowing new perspectives to open up, and respecting our need to adapt and change our practice according to the season, and as we move through the cycle of life.
Practice will assume a working knowledge of yoga postures: teachers and students are all welcome. My idea is to connect with ‘beginner’s mind’, with simplicity, but in depth and with love and commitment.
The core of the project will consist of 3-hour Zoom sessions, all of which will be recorded. In addition, participants are welcome to join me at the Burren Yoga Retreat Centre to meet others in person, and to connect with nature in this stunningly beautiful part of the world.

Each session will be on the Friday closest to the date of the cycle or festival, with the exception of Summer Solstice, where we will meet on 28th June.

  1. Imbolc: Earth, incarnation, support, life stirring…Traditionally celebrated on 1st Our session will be on Friday, 31st January.
  2. Spring Equinox: balancing energy, self-care and growth. New light, new possibilities. Traditionally celebrated 19th – 21st Our session will be on Friday, 21st March.
  3. Bealtaine: Light, sun, fire. Blossom and bloom… allowing, exploring, new directions. Navigating the senses. Traditionally celebrated on 1st Our session will be on Friday, 2nd May.
  4. Summer Solstice: fullness, abundance, heart, expansion. Yoga and love. Traditionally celebrated 20th-22nd Our session will be on Friday, 28th June.
  5. Lughnasa: harvest, ripening, gathering. Discernment, reflection. Our session will coincide with the day itself, on Friday, 1st August.
  6. Autumn Equinox: equilibrium, reassessment, shedding self-care and the need for rest. Traditionally celebrated 19th-21st Our session will be on Friday, 19th September.
  7. Samhain: thinning of the ‘veil between the worlds’, embracing ‘beyond’, looking at shadow… Traditionally celebrated on 1st Our session will be on Friday, 31st October.
  8. Winter Solstice: sleep, deep rest, presence, inner light. Traditionally celebrated on 21st Our session will take place on Friday, 19th December.

The Burren retreats are organised by the Centre, and open to anyone at all – so it will be a chance not only to meet some people from the online course, but also others from all walks of life, different countries and differing yoga experience. I love this idea of the coincidence of meetings…

More details on the Burren Yoga Centre here.

Dates: Exact dates for week-long retreats have yet to be confirmed but will most likely be late May, mid-July and early September. With the week-long retreats you have the option to arrive and leave at any point during the week, (48-hour minimum stay).

I already have a weekend retreat open for bookings in February.

Unfurling… a personal journey through the unfolding year

January seems an auspicious time to tune into where we are in our lives. This six-part course is an opportunity to tune in with honesty to where you are, to set intentions and to allow time for self-reflection and practice to allow these intentions to unfold.

Like a gardener, take time to tend to the ‘seedling’ inner voice, and allow it to sprout, grow and flourish. From January to June, we will meet monthly as the year unfolds, to practise and share together: postures, breath, vocal resonance and meditative practice.

Each of our journeys is individual: we are also linked through our shared humanity and as an intrinsic part of nature. The sangha, or community, is an important part of this process.
We’ll look at patterns and habits that keep us stuck, finding chinks of light to give new perspective so we can evolve in the way that’s right for us: our svadharma.

As part of our journeying, we’ll be exploring some of Peter Hersnack’s diagrams, which unpack, in simple images, what it means to be a human being in the world.

Six, monthly workshops on Zoom. Fridays, 4-7pm

23 January, 20 February, 27 March, 24 April, 22 May, 26 June
