I returned from a weekend retreat at the Burren Yoga Centre revitalised. Yoga classes with Kathryn in the light-filled, state-of-the-art yoga centre were a joy. Sophie's super healthy vegetarian meals were fantastic while Joanne ensured that everything ran smoothly, including a hike up nearby Abbey Hill for stunning views over Galway Bay. A hidden gem, tucked into the amazing karst landscape of the Burren, it really is the perfect place to tune out and recharge or, as they say in Irish, to "lig do scíth"

A few days back from my weekend at the Burren Yoga Centre and I continue to feel the benefits. If you're looking for a break from noise, screens and busyness and appreciate good food, good company and relaxation then this is a great destination for an unforgettable experience. I wasn't sure what to expect travelling alone to the Burren but I'm glad I did and would definitely consider doing so again.

Having arrived at the centre on a Friday evening, I seemed to make new friends almost straight away. The vegetarian food was delicious - like food for the soul as well as the body. Over the course of the weekend on the Boot Camp course with yoga teacher Niamh, I had the opportunity to try vinyasa yoga, meditation, yoga nidra, yogalates and hot yoga. The large light-filled studio was the perfect space, overlooking the Burren. The guided outings and hikes on the Burren were just the right level of challenging and whetted the appetite for a great lunch in one of the many brilliant local seafood bars and a swim later on in the Atlantic.

I really got a lot from this weekend. The facility is super modern and efficiently run, but warm and welcoming. I had an en-suite room which was spotless. Joanne, our host, managed the weekend really well. Our yoga instructor, Margarida, was exceptionally good at teaching and demonstrating, and was a fountain of knowledge about meditation and technique. I felt in very safe hands. The food is all vegetarian and really good, with a lot of variety. I would definitely book it again

What an amazing experience staying in Burren Yoga Retreat.

Awesome yoga and mindfulness, a rejuvenating & calm environment, lovely day trips, great people, delicious food, all in all a week of serenity and calm, exactly what I needed.

You will leave the Burren Yoga Retreat in a completely different mindset than you arrived. I will be back.

Couldn't recommend this place enough.

My first visit to the Burren Yoga Centre and I loved it. great spacious en suite rooms, with views of fields and trees, free of noise and light pollution.

The yoga studio is simply stunning, glass as far and wide as the eye can see overlooking the Burren.

Classes with Niamh (Jones) - an extraordinary person, made a novice yoga student feel like she had been practising a lot longer. So easy to follow, relaxing to be around, you can definitely gain from her classes. As for food, as a foodie, and a vegetarian, I was very happy with the meals. Dinners by Darren were fantastic, always something fermented on the plate. YUM!!

Would I be back, yes! I was sorry I only spent the weekend and not the week.

You can relax and unwind or engage with others as much as you like. It really is a retreat for everyone

David and company went out of their way to look after all guests on this weekend retreat. The hospitality was driven by genuine care. All the facilities were top class and the vegetarian cuisine was a particular highlight. The centre is located in a beautiful part of the country. You step outside directly in to the landscape of the Burren itself. I will be back!

The retreat was thoroughly enjoyable and although it sounds contradictory it was relaxing and active, I think it had just the right balance of activities and relaxation time or 'alone time' for me.

Kathryn is an excellent teacher, I loved her classes and the additional restorative yoga which we had a couple of days also. I left feeling very relaxed and rejuvenated, not wanting to return to reality to be honest. It was just what I needed.

Dave and his team are welcoming, friendly and accommodating.

The new centre is fabulous.

I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the Burren Yoga Retreat to anyone. I will certainly return!

My week long retreat at the new centre was really special.

The upgrade and new yoga room are so comfortable and zen-like.

Every details of the retreat is meticulously planned by Dave to ensure it meets the guests expectations, from the days trips, the yoga schedule and the downtime.

Kathryn the yoga teacher was fantastic, Louise expertly ensure everything flowed beautifully.

The food was on another level thanks to Darren's skills, I'd return for the cuisine alone.

A real gem of a place, I could not recommend it enough and I will definitely return soon.

The Burren Yoga Retreat is the ideal place for a break-away to immerse yourself in yoga for both experienced and new practitioners. The new purpose-built accommodation is cosy and friendly with a magnificent light-filled studio looking out on the unique landscape. It’s a welcoming setting to get away on your own (with no digital distractions). Margarida is a wonderful teacher with years of experience and a gentle, positive, hands-on approach, giving great encouragement to participants of all levels. Thanks also to Joanne, David and Aoife, and also the catering staff, who prepared delicious food. The location is wonderfully remote, yet only 10 minutes from Gort and the motorway
