Detox, Revive & Renew
Join me to purify, nourish and awaken your body mind and energy.
This is the perfect time of the year to Detox your body mind and energy field.
The beginning of Spring symbolizes renewal, growth and fresh energy.
This natural rebirth aligns with the idea of detoxifying your body to start anew.
The energy shift from the sedentary winter months to the revitalizing spring can be a great time to motivate yourself to shake off old habits and reset routines for the months ahead.
This weekend retreat is taught by very experienced teacher Niamh Jones who has been teaching here for over 21 years.
This weekend includes a Detox Heath Coaching session where you will receive tips on how you can detox through eating to have a healthy gut and immune system. It will contain which food are best to detox the liver.
The yoga classes have been specially designed to aid the detox process.
A weekend of Movement, Fun & Awareness whille you Detox
Vinyasa Detox Flow class
Detoxification is about stimulating, cleansing, and nourishing the body from the inside out.
This Detox Flow Yoga class explores Sun salutations and other effective poses—unique movement combinations that are designed to stimulate the circulatory and lymphatic systems (helps rid the body of toxins).
The postures in this flow are also designed to specially work on the digestive organs in the body in particular the Liver and Kidneys and will help remove the physical and emotional toxins that prevent you from achieving optimal health.
Bikram Hot Yoga
Hot Yoga is designed to sweat out toxins from the body !! This is the ultimate detox class helping to clear out any toxins in your body.
This is a whole body workout stretching and toning every part of the body from the inside out.
Energy Detox Flow
We will continue with postures that are designed specifically to work on the systems of the body that are most important for releasing toxins.
We will include Qi Gong sequences to purify the energetic body and chakra cleansing sequences.
All of this coupled with the deep cleansing and energising sound of the Gongs and Tibetan Bowl will not only detox the physical body but also release blocked energy.
Detox Health Coaching session
To finish this weekend off you will receive my top tips in my Health Coaching Session on all the ways we can detox through eating to have a healthy gut and the immune system along with what the best foods are to detox our liver (the main detox organ).
We will also look at ways to reduce toxic load on our bodies through our environment and surroundings.
Meditation
Daily breath-focused meditation to become aware of the gaps within the thoughts and to learn to let go of the inner chatter to bring a sense of calm and inner balance.
Healthy Delicious Food to aid Detox
Hi, I’m Claire Creaven, I’m delighted to welcome you to the Burren Yoga Retreat.
The food at this retreat will focus on whole ingredients, simply prepared, to make eating easy on your system.
The idea is to flood your body with nutrients while giving your digestive system a break.
Here at the Burren Yoga Retreat we use only fresh, organic vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, seeds and wholefoods.
Foods that commonly cause inflammation or are hard to digest are removed: no meat, dairy, gluten, refined sugar, caffeine, or alcohol.
At the centre we never offer meat or alcohol and this retreat will see no dairy, gluten, sugar or caffeine either.
However, there will be plenty of alternatives and delicious dishes.
The meals are designed to feel light but satisfying and helping to boost energy. It’s about clean eating to help your body reset naturally.
I look forward to meeting you at the centre.
