Greg Walsh is an Iyengar trained yoga teacher and has been teaching yoga since 1999.

His classes are still very much alignment based using all his years of training and experience.

Greg’s classes will give you a lot of understanding of the postures as every pose in Greg’s classes is modifiable for differing yoga abilities and levels.

His classes can be quite vigorous so come prepared for a good workout.  His classes are suitable for complete beginners to advanced, and can be both challenging but accessible for everybody.

“For me, yoga is not simply a physical practice, it is an exploratory philosophical and energetic practice which uses the body to access the inner essence. We use yoga to gain control and mastery of our body, we use our body to access the breath, and we use the breath to gain mastery of our thoughts, our mind, our consciousness, our whole being. “ – Greg

Greg uses the usual props that are used in Iyengar yoga such as bolsters, blocks, cork bricks, and belts.

His morning classes tend to be more dynamic, while his afternoon classes tend to be restorative.

These restorative classes can be a great way to simply let go… tune inwards… and experience and onserve and enjoy the effects the posture has on your being.

There is a meditation class in the morning and evening each day, and one of the benefits of our weekend retreats is that you can then take these practices home with you.

Organised ‘Outdoors in the Burren’ on all of our retreats.

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 optional activities such as sea swimming, or swimming in our nearby lake which heats up during the summer.

Flexible full daily time table

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

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.

You may like an optional treatment in our massage therapy rooms, or you may decide to take some time to yourself to either explore the Burren or put your feet up to relax at the centre.

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 talented chef will prepare all our vegetarian meals with organic and locally sourced vegetables and the finest ingredients.
