Words won't be able to do this justice!!!! (But I will try) What an amazing trip from start to finish. I did a weekend here and from the moment I walked in the door I literally felt all my worries float away. I went by myself (which I have never done before for anything) and I have to say everyone is just so welcoming and I felt like I knew them all for years. I felt so relaxed…

“Transformational, healing and great craic!” Reviewed 5th March 2019
The retreat has been a catalyst in keeping a regular meditation practice which I feel the daily benefits from in my life - and has also deepened and inspired my asana yoga practice through this greater self-connection. I went alone to the retreat, but felt a warm and lovely connection with all who were part of it (being surprised with a birthday cake baked by Paddi will remain one of my many cherished memories). Guided group walks were beautiful and superbly organised by Dave…

I spent a wonderful week of meditation and yoga at the Burren Yoga Retreat during April 2017. This was my second visit to the retreat which is superbly run and organised. The centre draws me back for many reasons including the tranquillity of the location; a real rustic down to earth feel with a blend of uplifting spirituality and peace; the exquisite vegetarian food professionally prepared; the day trips to the beautiful Burren landscape with lunch at the finest local restaurants with menus to suit all tastes. Any one of these is reason enough to come to this wonderful place. Above all it's the quality of the teaching.

“A Very Positive and Relaxing Experience”Reviewed 12th June 2016
The Burren Yoga Centre is a little gem in the West of Ireland. Dave the owner was a wonderful host and guide. Niamh is down to earth and a really fantastic teacher. Her classes were challenging but very rewarding as we improved more and more each day. The outdoor adventures were breath-taking, from taking a boat trip to see the Cliffs of Moher, to hiking up the Burren hills, to visiting a hermits cave deep in a hidden forest, to meditating under the famous Dolmen and swimming in the Atlantic.
