Hatha yoga classes, pranayama (breathing) and meditation with the very experienced Michael Ryan.
This course will be reasonably gentle, but will also challenge each person to work with the postures to their own ability.
It is suitable for complete beginners to those with a few years yoga experience.
Tune inwards and be guided by Michael ;-)
This weekend provides a lovely and nurturing space with time to let go of everyday commitments and tune into your self.
We develop an openness and a freedom of both body and mind through gentle yet sometimes challenging yoga, breathing exercises, sitting meditation and having fun on this hatha yoga week.
This weekend is suitable for all levels. Complete beginners to more experienced practitioners and aims to relax, centre and energize you.
Michael's approach brings a mindfulness and heart felt centering so that each person finds their own balance in their yoga practice.
There will be an outdoor walk in the Burren hills or by the sea on Saturday.
And the usual amazing vegetarian meals with Paddi the chef.
Cost of the course
Reduced to €300 (€280 unwaged) and includes accommodation and vegetarian meals.
The food is cooked by Paddi the gourmet vegetarian chef who ran Seventh Heaven the well known restaurant in Galway city.
A single room costs €60 extra.
We eat lunch out locally and you will need to pay for this yourself.
Additional nights stay at the centre
To avail of a cheaper flight you may like to stay an extra night or two. Cost is €35 per night. No meals included.
Availability of staying an extra night will only be known 1 week before the course start date, and will depend on the numbers attending the previous weeks course.
If the centre is full, you could always stay that night in Kinvara village with one of the many b&b’s.
Who is the course suitable for
This week is suitable to any level and all ages.
Instructor
Michael Ryan has been practicing yoga since his teens, and successfully completed the 200 hour Vinyasa Flow Yoga teacher Training course with Dave Curtis in 2006.
Michael also studied Naturopathy, nutrition and herbs and is also a qualified Reiki master.
Michael partakes in further ongoing yoga training and 2006 completed a 40 hour yoga teachers intensive with Shiva Rea. In 2008, Michael completed a week's teachers immersion with John Friend.
Michael's teaching style draws from his wide experience of Hatha yoga, Somatics, Vinyasa flow and John Friend's heart-opening practice of Anusara yoga.
Michael is also a dedicated mediator and draws on his vipassana and T.M. meditation training to bring a depth and presence to each class.
Michael is mindful of each individual's need to find their own balance in their yoga practice.
He gently guides and encourages each student to explore and open to their fullest potential.
Michael leads a flowing Hatha practice with a strong emphasis on integrating physical, mental and emotional wellness.
Using the breath and integrating core strength and awareness into the practice we step into a deeper sense of aliveness.
Yoga is an opportunity to balance our entire being; the physical, emotional, mental and energetic. It is a tool which moves us further along in our journey; yoga opens us to the present moment and our perfection in that moment, allowing us to connect with
"a deeper sense of stillness and in essence a deeper sense of who we are." Michael holds a space which is creative, inspiring and fun.
