all taught by 3 very experienced, qualified and practiced teachers.
And add delicious organic and seasonal food, walks and outdoor activities and a full programme of events (talks, practicals and seminars).
If this sounds like what you are looking for, then read on…
Allow Mike Cragg, Frank Perry and Angela Walker to help you explore the
depths of an integrated physical practice through Yoga and Pilates that
builds flexibility, strength and core control.
The
Flow yoga classes will emphasise ease of movement and breath, together
with the generation of tremendous heat to release tensions.
In the
alignment sessions we will work with insightful precision, using equipment
and in partners to learn the "alphabet of movement and our body".
The
quieter practices during the week of
pranayama, relaxation and meditation
will seek to balance our external practices with the quieter inner
techniques to give a rounded practice.
Finally the
Pilates will work with
the core energies of the body to realign the joints by balancing the soft
tissue systems of our bodies.
The holiday has enough time for
outdoor trips into the Burren and beyond,
including possibility of organized cycle rides and trips to Galway City.
