Relax and Recharge

This retreat is aimed at people who wish to practice yoga and meditation on a daily basis with a very experienced teacher; Veronica Larsson.

This week provides a lovely and nurturing space with time to let go of everyday commitments and tune into your self.

We develop awareness of body and mind through gentle yoga, breathing excerises, sitting meditation and Yoga Nidra, allowing a natural balance to emerge.

As the week progresses, you will be getting ready for this class, deciding which postures to include, and where each of you will be guiding yourself.

There will be plenty of outdoor activites in the Burren and surrounding areas.

Her focus is on developing awareness, self-knowledge and innner balance through the practice of the ancient science of Yoga.

The practice she see's as a transformative tool of working with the body and mind, and not a dogma or set of beliefs.



Our practice is a process, that can help to bring about awarenss and healing on many levels.



An honest yoga practice may help us hear the voice of our own heart. 'We practice so that we can tune in, remember, and be aware of who and what we truly are'.

Nice email sent by Janette from Veronica's Ashtanga's course July 2006

Hi Dave,
Just wanted to let you know that i arrived home safely.
It was the most wonderful feeling to see my husband and children again. Raphael said that my eyes were shining and Charlie my 16 year old told me that i had a wonderful glow!
I have been fixing things in the garden and a couple of hours ago we decided to have a yoga session so Raphael, myself, Tiger and Aden were all in the garden doing yoga, chanting and omming and it was hysterical and wonderful at the same time.
It brought tears to my eyes remembering how much Veronica taught me. Thank you thank you thank you for a wonderful week and i will e-mail you soon with my thoughts on my past week as promised.
Take care my friend and be well.
The karma CD is amazing! But i still want that Indian music cause it's in my head and it reminds me of my wonderful friends!
Send my love to Veronica.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX Janette.
