The best way to find an un-biased list of the best yoga retreats 2018 is to search Tripadvisor.

Go into Tripadvisor website, and enter Ireland as the location.

And enter Yoga Retreat as what you are looking for.

This will list all the yoga retreats in Ireland, and you can then see independent reviews on each one.

Then take a look at the number of reviews… how long the reviews date back (number of years)… and you will read reviews from people who have stayed in each of the yoga retreat centres.

During the Summer 2018, we have quality week-long yoga and meditation retreats every week of the Summer.

And throughout the rest of the year of 2018, all year round, we offer weekend yoga and meditation retreats.

These yoga and meditation retreats range from gentle yoga retreats suitable for all ages to stronger vinyasa style retreats which are more dynamic and physically challenging retreats.

All our week-long yoga retreats start at 7:00 pm Friday evening with dinner and finish the following Thursday at noon.

Hand-picked team of the best yoga and meditation teachers

The centre was founded by yoga teacher Dave Brocklebank in 1999, who had the vision to build a comfortable yoga centre in one of the most spectacular and special places in Ireland…. The Burren.

The Burren Geopark is an area of unspoilt beauty consisting of spectacular shaped limestone hills which plunge down into the Atlantic ocean.

Dave has specially hand-picked 15 of the best yoga and meditation teachers to teach on these quality yoga retreats.

Best yoga retreats 2018 Ireland

These weekend yoga breaks and the week-long yoga retreats are a great way to be shown around the Burren hills and along the coast of the Wild Atlantic Way in the Burren region, as well as having the most experienced yoga and meditation teachers.

One of the reasons why they are the best yoga retreats in 2018, is that there is a full timetable of activities throughout the day, as well as the quality yoga and meditation classes, and the amazing vegetarian food.

Our daily guided outings are led by Dave who founded the yoga centre in 1999, and he will personally take you to many very special places which are well off the beaten track.

This week could be a lovely way to start your 2 week vacation in Ireland, as you will meet other Irish people on the retreat who will give you tips and recommendations on what to see for your second week in Ireland.

Some people sign up for two separate week-long yoga retreats, and they get to experience two outstanding, very experienced yoga teachers, who may be quite different in their approach and also the type of yoga that they teach.

A Paradise with surprising ease of access

The peacefulness and ancient feeling of The Burren have to be experienced to be believed.

It is easy to see why these yoga retreats have been voted the best yoga retreats in 2018, when one spends some time in this magical part of the world on the west coast of Ireland.

Spending time on the west coast of Ireland is like stepping back 40 years in time, and the friendliness and easy going nature of the people makes one feel at home straight away.

Yet it is easy to get here with a choice of airports, train, bus and reduced fare taxi pickups.

It takes 2 ½ hours to drive from Dublin, 90% on motorway.

The nearest bus and train goes to Gort which is 6 miles away and taxi from there costs €11.
