Anusara Inspired Hatha yoga retreat on west coast of Ireland

Anusara Yoga is a new paradigm of hatha yoga in which the art of the human spirit powerfully blends with the science of bio mechanics. It is a spiritually uplifting and therapeutic system of yoga that integrates Universal Principles of Alignment and inner body awareness with a celebration of the heart.



During this week-end retreat, you will learn the elegant Universal Principles of Alignment that provide safe, precise and effective instructions allowing each pose to blossom fully.



Through Kanta's soft heart, warm smile and inspiring energy, you will be guided through a wide range of transformational postures that will increase your strength, vitality, flexibility and joy.



As the weekend progresses you will find yourself going deeper inside, and getting in touch with inner joy through the practices.



Reconnect to your innate diversity and inner radiance in this fun-filled and energizing workshop.



These classes are suitable for all levels, from beginners to advanced.
