Burren Yoga and Meditation Centre In 2013, I came across the Burren Yoga and Meditation Centre I was staying in an Airbnb in the town of Kinvarra (about 5 miles from Burren Yoga) and a fellow guest had just completed a week long retreat there. He had only good things to say about it. Since then, I have tried to make it there for a retreat. Even though I have been in Ireland several times since then, the timing never worked out.
This past September, it finally did. There was even an organized retreat running the weekend I had free. I immediately signed up. My goal was two fold, one to have a relaxing/learning weekend and two, to check the place out. In the back of my head, I was thinking if the place is comfortable and lovely then I would consider organizing a trip there. I kept this second goal under wraps of course and also tried to keep my yoga teacher status quiet. It helps me be a better student.
I visited my friend in Kinvara the night before the retreat, after an absence of nearly two years. It was as if no time passed, we picked up right where we left off, one of my favorite parts of my international friendships. I was able to mill around town visiting the farmers market, listening to music and hanging out by the harbor throughout the day before I headed over the retreat which started on Friday night.
The mattresses are very high quality ortopaedic mattresses with a top layer of memory foam, ensuring one of the most comfortable sleeps. The bedlinen is high thread count Egyptian cotton and lovely to slip into after a full day of yoga, meditation, outdoor activities, eating amazing vegetarian food and laughing and socialising with like minded people. All the beds are freshly made up before you arrive and there are also fresh towels laid out on your bed.
Amazing Vegetarian food The vegetarian meals are cooked by Gearoid who used to work in a Hare Krishna restaurant in New York. Gearoid weaves together the best of ingredients using locally produced organic vegetables, fresh herbs and spices and ‘creates with love’ these amazing dinners each day at Burren Yoga.
