2 hours from most UK Airports

The UK Yoga retreats at Burren Yoga Retreats only take 2 hours from most UK airports to get to a completely different world on the West Coast of Ireland. A short 1 hour flight to Shannon airport (or Dublin airport), and then a 45 minute taxi drive from Shannon, or else a 3 hour bus journey from Dublin to arrive at the front door of the Burren Yoga Retreats.

Spa break weekends UK

The difference between these quality yoga retreat weekend and week-long yoga retreats and the usual UK spa resort break is that instead of being simply pampered for the weekend, you will learn techniques that you can practice on your own at home to relieve stress, let go of thoughts and also chill out and relax.

Yoga Breaks UK

Many people who have been to numerous spa breaks in the UK and who have been to Burren Yoga have said that the quality of the yoga and meditation teaching and the empowerment they have experienced as a result of learning the practices and bringing them home, has made their stay here much more transformational and longer lasting than their UK spa breaks and other retreats at health farms. Dave who runs Burren Yoga believes that it is very important to empower guests so that they do not feel they need to see a therapist in order to let go and relax, and instead are able to put the teachings and techniques into practice each day of their lives after the retreat.

Amazing vegetarian food UK

All the food is vegetarian. However it is also of restaurant standards and there is no shortage of very tasty and healthy food. You can request and special diet on your booking form, and Paddi is happy to prepare special meals for each person which can include wheat, gluten and sugar free, or whatever diet that you prefer. Whereas the food on most Health Farms can be quite meagre, and one often feels hungry while on a health form, the food philosophy at Buren Yoga is that it is very healthy and tasty, and everybody is free to use their own will power to say no to seconds or to choose to eat one course instead of more. The daily yoga classes combined with the guided outings combined with healthy eating is a great way to bring gradual change into your daily life and to continue this on an ongoing basis yourself, rather than starving on a health farm and then binging when one returns home.

Meditation course UK

Dave Brocklebank has been described by many as the best and most experienced meditation teacher in Ireland. He has been practicing since the 70’s and has hand-picked a team of 16 of the best yoga and meditation teachers. These retreats are ideal meditation courses, and the best way to learn how to meditate and then to keep it up on a daily basis after your Meditation course. Dave also has a Meditation CD which talks you through the practice each day for a month….. and then the 2nd track talks your through your practice each day for the 2nd month …and so on to the 4th track. At the end of 6 months, one leaves aside the CD and continues the practice oneself.
