I had the pleasure of spending a rejuvenating weekend at Burren Yoga on our own special private retreat, and over a year later I can’t stop singing its praises! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with so much kindness, warmth, and hospitality.
Firstly let me commend Dave, whose dedication to making sure our stay was nothing short of exceptional was evident in every interaction we had. He went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcomed and cared for throughout our time there. Joanne, our host, was equally kind, adding a personal touch to our experience that made us feel at home.
Niamh, our yoga instructor, deserves special mention for her helpfulness and expertise. Her guidance led us through invigorating yoga sessions that left us feeling both energised and centred. She tailored each class to our needs and skill levels, which meant we were all comfortable.
The rooms were quietly luxurious, impeccably clean and tranquil. The panoramic views from the yoga studio over the Burren landscape provided the perfect backdrop for our practice.
And the food – which I still think about. The chef, Patricia, is a genius. Some of the best vegetarian meals I’ve ever had and she made sure every dietary requirement was taken care of. The surprise dessert made for me to celebrate my upcoming wedding was the icing on the cake, quite literally!
Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of our stay was the sense of relaxation, zen, and calmness that seemed to surround us at all times. Through meditation and yoga, we found ourselves embracing a profound sense of peace that stayed with us even after returning home. In fact, I say that this retreat should be compulsory for all – it’s a transformative experience that everyone deserves to have.
I can’t thank the team at Burren Yoga enough for their hospitality, warmth, and dedication to providing an unforgettable experience. If you’re ever thinking about hiring a venue for a retreat – this one is a must!
