Paula teaches breath – work and individualised Hatha yoga that is very much informed by her training and experience of Viniyoga.

Viniyoga is a very holistic approach to yoga that places a big emphasis on how each practice should be individually tailored to the student depending on their stage in life, their health, general well being and experience.

Paula focuses on correct positioning of the body according to the individual and offers instructions and variations to each person so that the practice is adapted to them.

Alignment is important but first she looks at the person to see how she can make the posture benefit and support them rather than the person having to “fit” into a yoga pose.

For younger students who are fit and able, Paula will guide them through some challenging sequences coordinated with the breath. Paula encourages her older students to place less attention on the physical aspects of a pose or movement and to use the breath as a support, a guide to inform their pace of movement.

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

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

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 by a vast choice of special places in the Burren where we go for hill walks, Nature Trail walks, walks by the sea, and 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 timetable

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.

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.
