Summer Yoga Immersion

On this special retreat we will take time out from our busy lives; stop, sit, breathe and then move into a physical yoga practice as we explore our own unique patterns and behaviours and identify what is holding us back from being our best, new self.

Yoga, and the physical practices in particular, give us a way to experience ourselves through our bodies. As we hold postures, building strength, cultivate awareness and release tension, we are given the opportunity to assess how we feel about ourselves. To explore how we truthfully see ourselves and to unearth the foundations of the deepest and most important relationship we have – the one with ourselves.

Our retreat is built upon many ingredients – warm, welcoming and comfortable surroundings and delicious, nourishing meals prepared with love. Long walks along the cliffs and the coast taking in the expanse and abundance around us. New friends, likeminded connections and real conversations. Sharing, mindfulness and empathy. To retreat from the world is to turn inwards and when we embark on this journey we need to feel help and secure. This is what we excel at our beautiful retreat centre, and while we are all on our own separate path, we do not walk it alone.

For more details on the scheduling, prices, teacher, getting here please see below. This is always a popular retreat that books out early so don’t delay and register soon to secure your place.

Where is the event?

We warmly welcome you to The Cliffs of Moher Retreat. A purpose designed, luxury retreat venue set against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean, The Cliffs of Moher and the beautiful countryside of Co.Clare, Ireland. We are located on the west coast of Ireland and Europe just about the mid-point of The Wild Atlantic Way, a 400 Kilometre stretch along the Ireland’s rugged western coastline. We provide a variety of Retreats throughout the year.

Our retreat is set in the refurbished Moher Lodge Farmhouses. There are 3 buildings comprising of 5 houses. The bedrooms are divided among the 5 houses and each house has a shared communal area that is open to all guests. There is plenty of space for everyone to find a place for themselves, allowing you to be social if you feel like it, but also to have room to relax and take time to yourself.

We will start the morning in stillness, sitting in the warmth of the studio as the day begins. After a warming breakfast we will head out for a walk to fill us with energy. After that we will spend 2 hours in our stunning studio, working through the body to release tensions and tightness’s and finding our natural rhythm.

Free time after lunch to explore and discover the area or sit with a book and doze off. We meet again for evening yoga where we allow the cycle of the day to complete with a slow, restorative class to relax and ground us again.
