Paddi ran her own restaurant for over 12 years in Galway city
Seventh Heaven restaurant was famous in Galway for it’s amazing healthy food.
Paddi has been working full time at Burren Yoga for over 13 years since then.
A Paradise with surprising ease of access
The peacefulness and ancient feeling of The Burren have to be experienced to be believed.
Spending time on the west coast of Ireland is like stepping back 40 years in time, and the friendliness and easy going nature of the people makes one feel at home straight away.
Yet it is easy to get here with a choice of airports, train, bus and reduced fare taxi pickups.
https://www.burrenyoga.com/about/getting-here/
It takes 2 ½ hours to drive from Dublin, 90% on motorway.
The nearest bus and train goes to Gort which is 6 miles away and taxi from there costs €11.
Hand-picked team of the best yoga and meditation teachers
We run residential yoga retreat holidays with very experienced yoga and meditation teachers.
The centre was founded by yoga teacher Dave Brocklebank in 1999, who had the vision to build a comfortable yoga centre in one of the most spectacular and special places in Ireland…. The Burren.
The Burren Geopark is an area of unspoilt beauty consisting of spectacular shaped limestone hills which plunge down into the Atlantic ocean.
Dave has specially hand-picked 15 of the best yoga and meditation teachers to teach on these quality yoga retreats.
We only take 15 people on our retreats so that everybody gets very good individual attention.
“The memories of practicing yoga in this ancient place….. standing on these ancient rocks over looking the Atlantic….. will stay with me as one of the high-points for many years”
Amazing vegetarian food
Paddi our famous cook who used to run Seventh Heaven restaurant for over 12 years, has been with us full time since 2001. Her food is amazing and she caters for all dietary requirements.

Reviewed 13th July 2021
This was my 1st time to do anything alone and it turned out to be the best impulse decision I ever made! The centre was spotless and the lighting that flowed through it was uplifting in itself. The bedroom was lovely and comfortable with a huge window letting in light and overlooking nature.
The fully tiled bathroom felt very luxurious with a large shower and heated towel rail!
The food was delicious, and plentiful. Really impressed with so many new flavours and all vegetarian, my body was flooded with goodness all week.
Our yoga teacher Grainne, went above and beyond and as I am building my strength after an illness last year, I never felt under any pressure to keep up with the group on hikes or classes, It was perfect for me.…
