Anusara 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 biomechanics. 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.

This Anusara weekend is one of the few Anusara residential yoga retreats in Ireland. But i am sure it will be the first of many more at Burren Yoga.

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 Tahnee's warmth and humor, you will be guided through a wide range of transformational postures that will increase your strength, vitality, flexibility and joy.

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