Quality hatha yoga and meditation retreat 

Tara teaches both Hatha yoga, and also Restorative yoga.  

Tara’s hatha yoga classes often start with gentle opening stretches, focused asana and gradually building to stronger practice in an explorative way.

Tara has worked with people of all levels and abilities including students with knee/hip replacements, back problems as well as fit and able people of all ages.

She is experienced at adapting the practice to suit each individual, and encourages each person to listen inwardly and to practice to the level that feels right for you.  

She will support and encourage you to explore, be curious and to never work into pain.  It is ok to challenge ourselves but we should always respect our own bodies and our own limitations.

The class in the morning will be more energising and in the afternoon more relaxing on this yoga and meditation retreat. 

Taras’ clear guidance  will encourage each person to challenge themselves in a safe way while she keeps an eye on each person to ensure you are practicing correctly.

The Restorative class will be more gentle and relaxing, and the focus will be to bring the body to a comfortable asana, and then to allow the layers of our being to relax and let go.

There is a meditation class in the morning and evening each day, and one of the benefits of our retreats is that you can then take these practices home with you.  A lovely combination of classes, outing and amazing vegetarian food on this yoga and meditation retreat.

See top class yoga teacher Tara’s yoga bio at the end of this page.

The Burren Yoga Retreat is located at the foot of the Burren hills nestled amongst the hazel trees.

You are surrounded with a vast choice of special places in the Burren where we go for hill walks, Nature Trail walks, walks by the sea, beautiful beaches and forests to explore.

There are lovely places to swim in the sea or in our nearby lake which heats up during the summer.

You can expect a warm welcome when you meet Tara as she creates a space that is conducive to feeling safe and encourages receptiveness, curiosity and the transition simply ‘to Be’.

Tara – “My life’s purpose is to help individuals experience the benefits of yoga and meditation and to enable them to use these practices to navigate life’s challenges.  Using these practices to encourage growth and moving away from being stuck.  She feels it is key for teachers to provide practices that focus on recovery, rest, and contemplation to help people to cope with the pressures and stresses of modern living.”

All our classes, outings and meals are optional, so you are free to join all or some as you please during the weekend.

However over 95% of people relish the freedom of not having to decide or choose what to do each day, and go with the full programme which is a well tried recipe which we have been running and improving on since 1999.

We are famous for our food and so many people have said they would come back time and time again just for the amazing vegetarian food.  Our chef will prepare all our vegetarian meals with organic and locally sourced vegetables and the finest ingredients.
