Finding the right yoga for all levels Ireland can be a challenge, but at the Burren Yoga Retreat, we have designed our space to be a home for everyone.
At the Burren Yoga Retreat, our core philosophy is one of inclusion for everybody.
We believe that the transformational benefits of yoga, meditation, and immersion in nature should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their starting point.

At the Burren Yoga Retreat, we ensure that all of our retreats are suitable for complete beginners as well as regular practitioners.
Our hand-picked, exceptional teachers are experts at providing clear, easy-to-follow instructions.
You will never feel left behind. In fact, many of our guests start as complete beginners and find that within just one retreat, they have gained the confidence and techniques to continue a short daily practice at home.
For those with more experience, our retreats offer a rare opportunity to refine your practice under the guidance of the “creme de la creme” of teachers.
Because Dave has hand-picked very experienced teachers with many years of teaching experience, they are well-able to guide beginners clearly, while giving deeper instructions to regular practitioners and stronger variations of postures and sequences to those who are ready. Our teachers also provide very intuitive and subtle guidance for more advanced practitioners.
We even have yoga teachers from across Europe and the US attend our retreats to learn new teaching techniques and deepen their own skills, while treating themselves to a quality yoga and meditation retreat.
Our retreats have plenty of time in Nature with an experienced guide.
This is a lovely way to get to know the other like-minded people and many people make friends for life.

We believe that spending time in Nature is food for the soul.
On every retreat, we offer daily guided walks through the mystical Burren landscape. We always offer a choice of walks.
For the Adventurous: You can choose the more strenuous hill climbs that offer breathtaking views of the Atlantic and the Cliffs of Moher.
For the Gentle Stroller: You can opt for flat, easy-to-navigate paths through green hazel woods or along deserted sandy beaches.
For the Relaxer: If you prefer, you can simply sit in nature, find a quiet rock, and soak in the “silence and mystical beauty” of the UNESCO Geopark.
