It can be lovely to spend Christmas day and Stephen’s day at home, and then to come to the Burren Yoga and Meditation Centre to bring in the New Year in the most positive way.

We start each day with a yoga and meditation class.

After the class we have a hearty breakfast and go on our daily guided outing.

Dave who runs the yoga centre will personally take you to one of the special locations in the Burren. This may be a walk in the Burren hills or a walk by the sea, or a walk in the forest or one of the other magical locations.

Christmas Yoga retreat

This Christmas yoga retreat is reasonably gentle and includes

• breathwork
• gentle postures
• salutation to the sun
• Yoga Nidra deep relaxation
• Meditation

The goal of the course is to introduce you to Satyananda yoga so that you may practice at home after the course.

Or you may like to come along to deepen your yoga practice, and learn to tune inwards more deeply.

One big difference between attending regular weekly yoga classes and going away on a week yoga retreat is that being in a yoga environment allows one break away from the normal life patterns and responsibilities which in turn allows one to experience the practices and their effects to a deeper level in more tranquil surroundings.
