Burren Yoga Retreat, Ireland

Fantastic experience: There's only one word to describe the Burren Yoga Retreat: an absolute gem! From the moment I arrived, I felt a genuine sense of peace. The location itself is really stunning and perfectly designed by David to blend in seamlessly with its natural surroundings. The guided outings and walks were definitely a highlight. It was a breath of fresh air (literally!) to explore the Burren, soaking in the fabulous scenery around us. During that time, I also got to know so many other wonderful people who attended the retreat. Last but not least, the expert team of yogis! Our instructor for the weekend, Gráinne O'Malley, really helped us to unwind and deepen our yoga practice. She was great for offering adjustments to suit all levels, making it an enjoyable experience for everyone there. On top of that, Alex, our retreat coordinator, went above and beyond to ensure it was a superb getaway. More great highlights: amazing food, top-notch facilities, stunning bedrooms

Fantastic experience: My stay at Burren Yoga Retreat centre was a wonderful experience. Highlights included wonderful prepared food at the centre by dedicated chefs; fantastic location with trips out to treks, swims and local restaurants; lovely rooms and facilities; great hosts and excellent yoga sessions facilitated by a wonderful instructor. The experience was really warm and friendly and a highly recommended break to relax and recharge.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this fabulous retreat! The centre itself is modern, clean, comfortable, luxurious. The yoga studio is a great space and it brings the best out in everyone. We were very lucky to have expert yoga guidance from Grainne, and kind support from Alex. Both made the retreat feel like a safe, fun space to be in. The nature walks in the Burren were great. And the food was amazing. I'll definitely be going back!

Fantastic experience: The Burren Yoga Retreat Center is a very special place. Its location in the Burren National Park area is beautiful. David has designed the space with much intention and with attention to detail. Food was outstanding. A special shout out to Grainne, a fantastic yoga instructor who teaches from the heart and Alex who helped facilitate our time there. I highly recommend this retreat center and would love to return.

Fantastic experience: From the food to the accommodations the Burren Yoga Retreat is first rate. The setting and staff bring calm and focus. The yoga is excellent but the excursions into the Burren are even better. Ask Joann to take you out for an evening dip, it is the perfect way to end the day.

Fantastic experience: We highly recommend the Burren Yoga Retreat Center to yoga instructors and others bringing groups to Ireland. The yoga studio is light-filled, spacious, and well supplied, the vegetarian meals superb, the rooms pristine and well designed, and the staff was responsive to our needs. Director Dave Brocklebank recommended many of our daily activities on the Burren including hikes, yoga on the flat Burren rocks by the sea, a swim in the Atlantic Ocean, and time at a holy well and fairy ring fort, led by long-time Burren resident Harry. Dave's staff member Joanne, along with Harry and Dave, guided our outings, deepened our understanding of the region, and helped steep us in Irish history, geology, culture, and wisdom from ancient to modern times.

Fantastic experience: I returned to the Burren Yoga Retreat for a second time as I knew I could relax with a high standard of yoga, good quality food and very comfortable accommodation guaranteed. Tara O'Rourke is an amazing yoga teacher and I learned so much during the week. George our retreat coordinator looked after us so well and our day trips were fantastic plus Claire's cooking is worthy of at least three Michelin stars. A huge thank you to Dave, George, Tara and all at the Burren Yoga Retreat

Fantastic experience: Words cannot begin to describe the impact of this experience! The energy of the centre itself, the surrounding energy of the Burren, and the beautiful energy of all the people who make this retreat possible still linger even after leaving. Whether you’re a total novice or a practiced Yogi, this retreat provides a much needed opportunity to reconnect with yourself and totally reset. The vegetarian meals were incredible, the outings with our guide, George, were breathtaking, and the daily practices, with the incredible Tara as our instructor, were so special. (There was even a chance to have a relaxing massage during the week!) The owner, David, has created such a unique and inspiring experience that I highly recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic teacher in an amazing retreat venue. Tara is highly skilled as a teacher but more importantly is just a beautiful, nurturing spirit. The center is bright, warm and so peaceful, capturing the unique energy of the Burren perfectly. The food is superb , the host guide took great care of us all week and Dave, the owner, made sure to check in with everyone regularly. I’ve been coming to this center for over 20 years and, excellent to begin with, it just keeps getting better and better!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful Retreat Venue Hire! I recently hosted a yoga retreat at Burren Yoga Retreat and could not have been more pleased. The owner and founder Dave was super responsive to any organisational questions I had during the lead up to the retreat. The yoga room is absolutely stunning — spacious, full of light, and offering breathtaking views of the Burren. All props provided. The accommodation was comfortable and clean. Every guest commented on how at home they felt. What truly made the experience exceptional, though, was the staff. Warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, they went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their presence created a welcoming atmosphere that made our group feel truly cared for. This is a perfect place for a retreat — I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a soulful, well-supported, and inspiring setting - so close to wonderful hikes and places of interest.

Fantastic experience: I recently attended Burren Yoga for a weekend retreat with Margarida. Having visited many times pre-Covid, it was great to see that all the best of Burren Yoga has been preserved and improved upon with the construction of the new building. The yoga practice room is a wonderful light-filled room with amazing views, and the new accommodation is very comfortable. Every detail was just perfect, from the wonderful yoga practice with Margarida, who looked after us so well, to the daily walks in the beautiful Burren and the truly amazing food. It won’t be long before I’m back.

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend this highly enough as a place to unwind, deepen your practice and share great food, day trips and wild swimming! The teacher was strong, kind and well informed. Everything was beautifully organised. The vegetarian food was delicious and plentiful. The yoga studio is spacious with astounding views of the Burren mountains. I’ll be back!

Fantastic experience: This was my first solo trip, my first yoga and meditation retreat and Dave and the team surpassed all expectations! I could not have asked for a better reset weekend- it didn’t matter I was a beginner - I felt it was a truly authentic experience. Eileen was an amazing teacher and George was a perfect host! The centre is modern, spotless, food was 5star … an unforgettable weekend I would highly recommend and I will be back.

Fantastic experience: It was a wonderful experience. I met lovely people. Thanks Dave, George, Eileen, Clare, and the rest of staff who were looking after us last weekend. I highly recommend this centre. Lovely organic vegetarian dishes, clean and comfortable bedroom. Well organised programme. Very professional yoga teacher. The centre is located on a beautiful place. I don't have words to express the love and kindness I received from all the people are part of this lovely place. Thanks and a big hug from my heart to all. Toñi M.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful retreat venue in a scenic part of Ireland. 5 stars also to excellent food & Chef Claire! Traveled solo twice here, most recently for a retreat with Eileen that was an excellent use of my time, lovely people, excellent Yoga teachers, I always learn a lot. Big thanks to David & staff for running a warm & welcoming retreat! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: A haven of tranquillity in the Burren. Peaceful, comfortable accommodation and the most amazing gourmet food! Dave, Alex and all the team are so welcoming and professional. Most importantly, superb Yoga teachers guide you in a expansive yoga studio with panoramic views! Always a restorative and uplifting break. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Spent a lovely weekend at the Burren Yoga Retreat in April. Exceptionally clean,spacious en suite rooms. Gorgeous Organic,Vegetarian Food with every dietary need catered for. Great Yoga classes & a Gong Bath on the Saturday. Plus a hike in the Burren with lunch at a seafood restaurant. Sea swimming available for those inclined! Most of the group were solo travellers and everyone gelled well. Great to meet new people. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. Definitely recommend the Burren Yoga Retreat. A haven away from the fast paced digital world we live in.

Fantastic experience: I had such a relaxing and enjoyable time at Burren Yoga Retreat last weekend. I highly recommend if you’re looking for mixed yoga, meditation, good food and hiking in beautiful and unique scenery!

Fantastic experience: It was my first yoga retreat and I am definitely doing it again. It was a very relaxing and peaceful weekend, highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Amazing venue, very welcoming and great atmosphere. The off site hike was added bonus. The yoga classes were second to none as were the meditation sessions. Niamh is amazing at what she does. Burren Yoga Retreat offer orangic vegetarian cuisine and Claire delivered unreal, tasty and nourishing food. The most tasty GF food I've ever had. David and Marie Therése were fab hosts. Will definitely be back and highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Thoroughly enjoyed an amazing weekend at the Burren Yoga retreat. Met some wonderful people, attended great yoga classes and had a wonderful hike in the hills. The food in the centre itself was first class. All vegetarian and everything was gluten free so for a coeliac like myself this was heaven. I don't think even the hardened carnivores would miss their meat. I'll definitely be going back. If you've never done yoga - don't let this put you off - every level was catered - give it a go - you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: The retreat was a great overall experience! We flew from the US to visit Ireland. During the middle of our trip, I attended a weekend at Burren Yoga Retreat with my wife. The staff was amazing! The yoga instructor was able to teach to both advanced and beginners easily, so everyone felt welcome. There was an afternoon outing to visit the area with a scenic hike! Rooms and facility were very clean and they are adding additional amenities. The chef was able to accommodate for gluten free or dairy free preferences. The retreat was a very nice part of our Ireland adventure!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place, your money will be well spent. The quality of the en-suite rooms, the cleanliness, the vegetarian meals and service, and most of all the authenticity and knowledge of the teacher, Margarida Tree, is exceptional.

Positive experience: Great yoga retreat. Very well organised. Excellent retreat organiser on hand to facilitate every need. Delicious food. Good yoga and meditation guiding . Can’t wait to go back.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed the retreat at the Burren this weekend. It was my second visit and once again didn't disappoint. The accommodation and food were excellent. Clara the yoga teacher was fabulous and her enthusiasim for teaching yoga makes it even better. Such a lovely switch off weekend. Will definitely be planning a return visit.

Fantastic experience: My daughter and I went to the Burren retreat centre two weekends ago and it was an amazing experience. The location is stunning and very beautiful and has a very special energy. The food was utterly delicious and the yoga tuition was first class Aoife the yoga teacher was very adaptive in her teaching which is what I needed as new to yoga and suffering with severe lower back tension. She made it very accessible and very enjoyable. The architecture of the place is beautiful and I will definitely be back. It fed my soul mind and body Thank you everyone And lastly - the group of people I was with were extraordinary foo. A very special time and all in honour and memory of my dear sister Tina which is the reason and inspiration for going!

Fantastic experience: I thoroughly enjoyed my yoga retreat in the Burren Yoga centre. The team were exceptionally welcoming & ensured we had a great experience. I loved the hike in the burren, the yoga was great & the food was delicious & so healthy. I look forward to visiting again!

Fantastic experience: I attended Burren Yoga Retreat in February 2025 with my mom Elaine. It was my first ever retreat so I was apprehensive about the “digital detox” but I had a thoroughly enjoyable, restful and restorative weekend. The surroundings and views at the Burren Yoga Retreat are beautiful and the centre itself is very modern, spotlessly clean with has very beautiful spaces. The yoga studio itself is huge with enormous windows and skylights fitted…your morning view is of mountains and your evening view is of the stars in the sky! Our Yoga teacher for the weekend was called Aiofe and she was a really personable, professional and kind teacher who really got to know everyone in our group. She was totally non-judgmental of anyone’s yoga abilities and was genuinely interested in making yoga enjoyable and accessible for all. The food at the Burren Yoga retreat was simply stunning - some of the tastiest food i’ve eaten. As a vegetarian, it was perfect! Overall, I was really impressed with the quality of this retreat. Well done Dave! You’ve obviously created something very special here. I may come back when spa facilities are built. Thank you also to Alex our coordinator! Many thanks & all the best, Catherine Tombs

Fantastic experience: When I enrolled for Eleanor Dawson’s mid-February weekend retreat in Ireland, I was unsure what to expect. I’d done a lot of yoga but I’d never ‘done’ a yoga retreat before. Yet from the moment I entered the ultra-modern building and ditched my shoes in the entrance hall, I knew this would be a memorable experience. The Burren Yoga Retreat centre was founded in 1999 by yoga and meditation teacher Dave Brocklebank. Learning that I am an engineer, Dave gave me a guided tour and explained the design of the centre. I admired the generous use of fine timbers and the energy-conscious operation, triple glazing, well water … the works. I could wax lyrical about the built environment, but I was here for the yoga and meditation, the yummy vegetarian food and the nourishing company of fellow pilgrims. In this ‘breath-led’ yoga and meditation retreat, Eleanor leads three yoga and meditation sessions daily, yet nothing seems rushed. She accommodates novices and seasoned students, and is continually adapting postures to suit individuals. At first her guidance language was unexpected until, in a lightbulb moment, I realised she’d adopted a ‘plain English’, jargon-free style, largely devoid of the usual names of postures and Sanskrit terms. Eleanor and the talented Burren team ensured my first yoga retreat was pure bliss.

Fantastic experience: I'm just back from such a gorgeous weekend in the Burren Yoga Centre. From the minute we arrived we were pampered and looked after. Joanne welcomes you and makes you feel instantly at home. The place itself is toasty warm with underfloor heating everywhere. It us pristinely clean beautifully done up and the rooms have every comfort. The food is unbelievable. It's honestly worth going for the food alone. We had yoga with Niamh for the weekend and every class was fantastic and offered something new and different. Dave the owner accompanied us on the hike in the Burren and it was lovely to chat to him. I cannot recommend this weekend highly enough. I'm so full of energy after it. Give yourself the gift of some time in this space.

Positive experience: Spent six days of self care here. Highlights were the facilitators, the evening meals and the local hikes. Loved the no phone policy and the heated floors. Would definitely do it again.

Fantastic experience: This was a completely new experience for me as a pretty unfit 60 year old with health issues. But I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and will take all the advice forward in the hope it will benefit my health. I had a lovely time and will be back next year. My advice! Don’t be afraid and enjoy a lovely, new and beneficial experience!

Fantastic experience: Spent a gorgeous restorative weekend in late January with my two sisters. The yoga instructor was super, food was gorgeous and plentiful, very comfortable bed and room. We were blessed with the weather and enjoyed a lovely guided walk in the Burren. Would highly recommend. Will definitely return.

Fantastic experience: This was my first visit to the Burren Yoga Retreat centre and really enjoyed the weekend from start to finish. This is such a fabulous setting and the centre is so well designed to give you a sense of serenity and peace. Loved hiking on the Burren too which beautifully complemented the in house yoga sessions.

Fantastic experience: A 2 day yoga retreat in the hills of the Burren - if you want to get away from it all and meet others who want the same, this is the place to come. I feel so refreshed and renewed after my yoga retreat in The Burren, if more people took time out to come to places like this, the world would be a better place. You can tell that the owner, Dave, has put so much care, love , attention to detail in this place filled with light. Seeing the sunrise and set is the yoga room is precious!

Fantastic experience: I am feeling refreshed and replenished after a wonderful weekend retreat at the Burren Yoga Centre. The yoga classes were excellent and tailored for everyone's needs. The vegetarian food is delicious and plentiful. Dave has created a beautiful space to explore yoga and to rest and unwind.

Fantastic experience: This was my first time booking a retreat in Ireland and it did not disappoint. I cannot recommend Dave's retreat highly enough, the accommodation is 5 star, the dining area has an inviting and comfortable feel to it, creating the perfect space to mingle and get to know everyone, and as for the food, nourishment and tastiness in every bite. Naimh Our yoga/meditation instructor was top class and really went over and above to provide both a personal touch whilst also encouraging the group to share and support each other. The hike out in the Burren, led by Dave was an absolute pleasure. This retreat was ideal for me to take time to reflect and meet other like minded people, I would advise to go alone, as I feel you can really open yourself up to the experience, I have come away with an ability to meditate, which I have been trying to discover for years.

Fantastic experience: Mainly women participating but I was treated very well and thoroughly enjoyed the weekend retreat. Niamh was a super yoga instructor and personalised much of the sessions to individual needs. I would recommend it for a trip away to reconnect with yourself.

Fantastic experience: The Burren is one of the most beautiful and intriguing areas in Ireland famed for its hillwalking, flora and fauna. Tucked away in its own quiet location is the wonderful Burren Yoga and Meditation Retreat Centre. The centre has been refurbished in recent years but still retains the charm and peaceful energy of the old centre. The bedrooms all with en-suites are spacious and full of light. Food is delicious with plenty of vegetarian options. The yoga teachers are exceptional and the view of Mulloughmore Hill from the yoga room draws you into its own special aura. Thanks to its founder Dave who is always there to make his guests feel very welcome, this retreat centre is on par with the best centres worldwide. Also an additional bonus are the guided walks through the Burren in the late mornings/afternoons.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing time at my first yoga retreat at Burren Yoga Retreat. I attended a weekend retreat led by Niamh Daly of Yinstinct Yoga. Niamh is an amazing teacher and looked after everyone so well, both in the classes and during the meals, hike and free time. I really enjoyed the hike up Abbey View with our guide George and the visit to a local cafe, art gallery and beach. George looked after everyone and nothing was too much trouble. And as for the food - this is the best 3 days of food I have ever had! The meals were so different, full of flavour, and I am totally inspired to try making some new recipes. The rooms and common areas were spotless and very comfortable. I highly recommend Burren Yoga Retreat and I can't wait to go back!

Fantastic experience: I stayed at the Burren yoga retreat centre for a few days between x mass and the new year 2025. I received a very warm welcome from George who immediately put me at ease as he was so calm. The yoga and meditation facilitated by Carmel was so relaxing, and her classes were slow calm and so so effective. Carmel is an excellent instructor with a very calm voice explaining the yoga moves as we negotiated them very well. I was introduced to mediation and loved the simplicity of the instruction. The food was superb, vegetarian and so delicious. The accomodation was excellent and very clean and comfortable. I loved the organised walk in the burren and it will certainly encourage me to revisit the burren. I can only highly recommend the Burren yoga retreat centre for a special time for yourself to rest the mind and regenerate the body whilst enjoying the company of other guests also on their journey . I loved the fact that it was so quiet with no TV or radio and little access to wi fi , a real digital detox to reconnect with one’s self in this busy world. Thank you to David and the team who I can see is passionate about the Burren yoga centre. Wishing you the best with your planned development for 2025. I would recommend going alone and keeping this time for you Fiona

Fantastic experience: The Burren Yoga Retreat is an absolute gem! I highly recommend. Located in the heart of the Burren, this center offers luxury accommodations (lodging and yoga studio), exquisite food, and local hiking for any yoga or meditation group. 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: One of the best weekends of my life. Delicious food, wonderful meditation and fantastic yoga in a one of a kind setting run by genuine kind & inspiring people. Couldn’t recommend it more.

Fantastic experience: I spent 2 nights doing a yoga retreat in November 2024. It was a great experience, the owner Dave was very welcoming and generous with his advice to help me get started. Alexandra the retreat facilitator helped settle in all the guests and was a great guide for all of us throughout the weekend. Grainne was our amazing yoga teacher who delivered all our classes. The schedule flowed very well and allowed me to relax mentally and physically. I’ve come away with the tools and knowledge I need to help me with my yoga and meditation practice. I’ll look forward to returning next year, as it’s a great place to press reset on my busy stressful life.

Fantastic experience: Just back from a yoga retreat at The Burren Yoga Centre. Lovely vegetarian food. Rooms were comfortable, very clean and quiet. Highly recommend doing a retreat weekend with Grainne O'Malley if you are looking to relax, recharge and just get away from it all. She is a wonderful, intuitive teacher. I really enjoyed her classes. Our hostess Alex took great care of all of us during our stay. Special thanks also to Dave and the rest of his staff for creating such a special place and experience in The Burren. I look forward to coming back soon!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful location and top notch yoga & mindfulness retreat. Excellent facility, clean, bright and airy. The vegetarian food was wonderful, as was the yoga teaching and hospitality. Can't wait to visit again soon.

Fantastic experience: Such a lovely yoga facility only 2.5 easy drive from Dublin. Niamh (Inspire Pilates) led 3 days of mediation, yoga and walks around the Burren. Also managed a sea swim and sauna, bliss. Along with the delicious vegetarian food I felt so good heading home.

Fantastic experience: David has done a fantastic job with the place. Amazing staff, great lounge, kitchen, and common areas. The things to do all around were my favorite in Ireland. Dave even went out of his way to return my watch that I had left there. He made an extra effort to drop it off at the Shannon Airport lost luggage department so it was waiting for me as I was ready to leave the country. I have nothing but amazing things to say about the entire experience.

Fantastic experience: If you’re wanting to get away from it all and relax, get booking at the Burren! I needed a real switch off from the world and got it at a weekend retreat recently at Burren. The yoga teacher and retreat coordinator were both lovely, welcoming, calm and warm. The space is purpose built and designed exceptionally well, the studio in particular is a glorious space to practice in, with expansive views of the Burren. The schedule is nicely created, plenty of practice but also down time and an opportunity to get out and see the beautiful area. Also everything is optional…..and it really is, we were reminded of this regularly and I felt no pressure to do everything/anything. I felt the yoga was very accessible to all levels and I noted our teacher casually asking around in conversation how people had found it to see if she needed to adapt it to suit. And the food, well, even if none of the above were there, it’s worth going just for the food; absolutely sublime and plenty of it!

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Alex, Aoife, Dave, and my fellow ‘retreatees’ for great few days. A peaceful and energising space, a place of calm and renewal, and most of all, for gratitude.

Fantastic experience: This is THE place to stay if you are looking to run a yoga or intentional/transformational based retreat experience in Ireland! Dave, Joanne & team have my companies business for life. Stellar accomodations, stellar food and even more stellar people. Would HIGHLY recommend and will absolutely be back soon!

Fantastic experience: An absolutely beautiful place. Unwind, detox, relax and leave stress behind. I highly recommend Burren Yoga Centre. It was sublime...

Fantastic experience: We had an enchanting week at the Burren Yoga Retreat center! Dave and Joanne were amazing hosts and Joanne took us to some really incredible sites. The food was so delicious. Claire and Morah took good care of us. The facilities are clean and so beautiful. Highly recommend this experience!

Fantastic experience: I recently attended a yoga and meditation retreat in the stunning Burren area of Ireland at Burren Yoga Retreat. I can confidently say it was a life-changing experience. I’ve faced a lot of grief and stress over the past few years, and this retreat provided the perfect environment and care to gain space and clarity as I continue on my healing journey. The retreat was beautifully organized, with daily yoga sessions that were both invigorating and calming, perfectly tailored to all levels. The meditation practices helped guide me to accept what is and helped me release some of the grief and disconnection I have been carrying. From the moment I arrived, the serene landscape and warm hospitality enveloped me. Joanne, was an amazing and supportive coordinator during the retreat that kept us all apprised of the day(s) ahead. She has a beautiful energy. Her curiosity and knowledge of the Burren and other aspects of Ireland led to inspired talks and experiences on the scheduled outings and hikes. She shared a vision with me about Ireland’s re-wilding that has inspired me in ways I did not expect. Thank you, Joanne! The yoga and meditation instructor, Niamh Daly, was incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate, creating a safe space for us to explore our emotions and connect to ourselves. I am a licensed physical therapist(physiotherapist) in the United States. I have not come across a more trauma informed, intuitive and knowledgeable anatomy and physiology yoga instructor in my 15 years of yoga practice. She has inspired me to practice differently and feel differently about my body. There are so many other things I am still processing because of this connection. Thank you, Niamh! The food created, presented and served with love each night by Claire was exceptional. What a gift to have food prepared for me. Claire has inspired me to do what I have been trying to implement into my life for years: shopping, preparing and eating better. Thank you, Claire for keeping me fueled with delicious, beautiful and incredibly healthy food during my stay! Dave, the owner and builder of this beautiful and magical space, is dedicated and interested in the experience you are having during the retreat and after. This is not just a business but a labor of love. He is continuing to add and evolve some great elements as I write this review. Thank you, Dave, for your vision! I was incredibly blessed and will continue to hold each and every one of lovely and brilliant women that participated along-side me on this retreat. I had so many moments of synchronicity and connection and learned from every one of you. Thank you! I left the retreat feeling lighter, more centered, and with a renewed sense of purpose. I can't recommend this retreat enough for anyone seeking healing and tranquility. It truly was a transformative experience, and I’m so grateful for the memories and growth I’ve gained from it. Thank you to everyone involved for creating such a special space! In deep gratitude, Cathleen

Fantastic experience: I just arrived back from the Burren Yoga Centre. It was a wonderful experience. The centre is so peaceful set in a beautiful location. Niamh Daly, yoga teacher, is wonderful. An amazing teacher. I will be back. Thank you. Lorraine

Fantastic experience: Fabulous place chosen by Uma for her retreat. Gorgeous food. Outstanding staff and absolutely lovely venue. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I discovered the Burren Yoga Centre about 20 years ago and I have been a fairly regular visitor ever since. What draws me back is a variety of factors. The wild, rugged and rocky beauty of the Burren really appeals to me, with little traffic, no city lights and no television at the centre. Internet access is available, if necessary but I prefer a complete digital detox. This is an ideal location to unwind even before you begin to think about yoga. On arrival we are warmly welcomed by one of the retreat co-ordinators, George or Madelina, who will also accompany us on our optional outdoor activities to ensure we get the best experience from the outing. Last January, I had my first ever winter sea swim in the company of a few fearless, female yoginis and once I got over my initial reluctance, I found the experience exhilarating. The food is vegetarian and even though I am not vegetarian it is cooked so mouth-wateringly well by resident chefs Claire and Patricia that I go back for seconds. People of all ages, from Ireland and abroad and from all walks of life come to the centre. I’ve started yoga retreats with strangers only for them to feel like a second family at the end of the week and with social media it’s so easy to stay in contact, share memories and photos of the outings. Above all the quality of the teachers I have met down through the years has been excellent. Each have their own unique approach but what they all have in common is a great depth of knowledge, many years’ experience and patience. For example, Niamh Daly taught me the benefit of slowing down and self-compassion with restorative yoga. And I left the retreat with healthier knees. I don’t know which posture did the fix, it may have been the approach and/or combination of postures. Eileen Riordan O’ Sullivan helped me focus on coordinating breath with movement into postures, to increase awareness. Awareness of breath is something I am remembering to bring into daily activities, although I am still a work in progress. Yoga postures can be tweaked and modified for those lacking in flexibility. There is always a modification to suit your needs. Personally, I lack upper body flexibility, like a lot of men, but the appropriate addition of a prop, such as one or more yoga blocks can make a challenging posture very attainable. I always leave a retreat feeling refreshed, energised and with a calmer approach to life. Dave has created a tranquil oasis, in a stunning location and provides access to the finest of yoga teachers. I recommend a retreat at the Burren Yoga Centre unreservedly.

Fantastic experience: I had the most amazing weekend at the Burren yoga centre, wonderful yoga and meditation with Eileen in the beautiful studio around a lovely floral centre and views of the Burren. And on top of this there was hikes, swimming, lunch at local restaurants and great chats with a lovely mix of people, thanks to George for the great organisation. The food by Claire and her team was incredible, so tasty and creative. My room was very relaxing, a perfect retreat from the busy world. I will go back and hope to stay longer the next time.

Fantastic experience: What a magical place. Just booked my 3rd retreat (in just over a year), and already know that I will come back in the spring. Dave has established the most stunning, warm, heartfelt and tranquil place. The magic of The Burren is felt (and seen) in every corner of this yoga and meditation center. And for the 3rd time booked a retreat with Grainne, she is just the best. Her practices, combined with her voice, and techniques pushes you to those deeper inner tissues to emotional (and stress) release. And I should not forget to mention the food. Claire uses the best fresh local produce, super tasteful and just delicious.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend The Burren Yoga retreat for everyone. This is a very special place, it is truly peaceful and nurturing. The Burren Yoga retreat centre is tailored to suit everyone. All fitness levels and ages are catered for. I came for a couple of days and ended up staying for the week, it was so good. I thought I would just do the meditation as it was many years since I did yoga and I have some health issues. However, with individual attention from the excellent yoga instructor I found myself doing yoga once again. With the guidance from the wonderful course coordinator I was able to do walks at my own level. The day was action packed with yoga, meditation, walking, and hiking in the stunning Burren landscape, swimming and much more. The vegetarian food served at the centre was top class. I even purchased the cook book there, I was so impressed. I returned home really relaxed and renewed. A big thank you to all the caring people working at the centre. I will definitely be back.

Fantastic experience: A TONIC FOR THE SOUL - I can’t recommend the burden yoga retreat enough! It starts with the drive to the location which is something out of a movie, the Burren landscape is otherworldly (I’m Irish and it still took my breath away). When you arrive you are greeted personally by the retreat coordinator who in my case was just the most warm, kind man you could meet, he made me feel instantly at ease (I should note that I am a female and came to this retreat solo, however I didn’t feel alone for long). I have found that the people attracted to a retreat like this are those looking for peace in a busy world, if you are one of those people you have come to the right spot. The people I met on my retreat were extraordinary and came from far and wide, it was incredible swapping stories (and book recommendations) over dinner and getting to know these people without the distraction of phones and tv. Everything from the wall colour to the pillows has been carefully considered to create maximum relaxation. Lastly but certainly not least is the food, my mouth is watering just thinking about it! All vegetarian and all exceptionally tasty and locally sourced. I’m already planning my next retreat. To sum up, this is a very special place run by very special people, you would be lucky to experience it!

Fantastic experience: The Burren Yoga Retreat must be one of Ireland's special treasures!! I highly highly recommend anyone to give it a go . You will be so glad that you did a retreat as I found it both a challenging experience and yet a most enjoyable one. The mix of yoga, meditation classes and hiking was absolutely a perfect combination. The people you meet are one in a million ! I look forward to doing another retreat later on. Thank you, Dave, Eileen and George and all the staff for a wonderful experience to replenish both body and soul!!

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful week at Burren Yoga with a fabulous teacher, Uma Dinsmore-Tuli. The retreat centre is beautifully located in the Burren landscape and all rooms are comfortable and tastefully decorated. The beds are very comfortable. The vegetarian food was nourishing and plentiful - I don't think I felt a pang of hunger all week! I particularly loved the mix of learning from a top yoga teacher and experiencing this part of Ireland. The retreat is so much more than "just yoga" with interesting outing options for walks on most days led by a retreat host, in our case, Joanne, who as welcoming, helpful and kind. I got to see things (like Harry's farm) that I would have missed had I travelled to the area on my own. The week was busy yet restful! I'd definitely return on another occasion.

Fantastic experience: I had a lovely week in the Burren recently. The yoga classes were just the right level of challenging, and the hikes in the local area were a pleasure. I hope to return soon.

Fantastic experience: A warm welcome to the burren, Joanne is superb nothing is too much trouble. Both chefs Claire and Patricia cooked delicious meals with local produce. The location is perfect great walks nearby and surrounding areas beautiful

Fantastic experience: Dave has curated something really special here. Did an amazing retreat with Margarida Tree. It really was food for the soul. The mix of meditation, yoga, activities and relaxation was perfect. Met some really wonderful people. The yoga Studio and the whole centre are beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The food is absolutely delicious and varied. Can't wait to go back!!

Fantastic experience: A perfect blend of planned activities and unstructured time for rest. Lourda, our host was so welcoming and efficient. Niamh, the yoga teacher for the week was superb. The hot yoga was a new experience for me but also wonderful. Dave, the owner is totally committed to providing a top quality experience for guests. Also the lovely group of people there added to the great experience. I would highly recommend the Yoga Burren Centre.

Fantastic experience: I spent the most magical 6 days at the Burren Yoga Retreat, Dave and his team are nothing short of spectacular! It was my first time on a yoga retreat; our yoga teacher, Niamh Jones was fantastic with over 20 years of experience and she led us through a variety of different yoga and meditation practices which could be adapted to all levels. We were taken on beautiful hikes, beach walks and sea swims, as well as to some lovely restaurants during our outings with the lovely Lourda, our host guide. The location is beautiful and serene with stunning views, and the interiors match the local aesthetic which adds to the feeling of calm. We were served the most delicious vegetarian and vegan cuisine I've ever experienced (I'm almost 10 years vegetarian/vegan), and to experience this with a lovely group of likeminded people made this an incredible holiday. I would recommend the Burren Yoga Retreat to anyone and everyone, whether you're a Yogi or not. Thanks so much, I'll be back very soon!

Fantastic experience: Thanks to David & his team for another wonderful stay at the Burren Yoga Centre. My second time staying there and I came away feeling 100% recharged and ready for life. What David offers all his guests is time to rejuvenate the mind, body & soul in a very special part of Ireland. The facilities are excellent and the yoga studio makes you feel relaxed as soon as you walk into the room. The yoga instructors are carefully handpicked to make sure you have the best learning experience. That coupled with the most amazing & delicious food all gives to a 5 star experience. Thank you to David and all his staff for providing such a wonderful retreat. I will definitely be back

Fantastic experience: I recently enjoyed a fabulous few days at the Burren Yoga retreat. This was an amazing experience especially as I had no previous experience of yoga ‍♀️ but under the guidance of our excellent instructor Kathryn Moynihan this was not a problem. The food was exceptional, we feasted on delicious vegetarian dishes all prepared by the in-house chef Claire. Thank you to all the lovely people I met during my stay and to David & Alex for delivering an amazing experience.

Fantastic experience: This was another amazing stay at the Burren Yoga Retreat. Nestled in the breath-taking beauty of the Burren landscape, this retreat offered a perfect blend of tranquillity, rejuvenation, and spiritual nourishment. As always, I was warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, Retreat Co-ordinator Alex on this occasion, who ensured every detail of the retreat was taken care of. The accommodation is modern, comfortable and impeccably clean, providing a peaceful haven after each day's activities. The yoga and meditation sessions were truly transformative. Led by knowledgeable and inspiring teacher Kathryn Moynihan, each session left me feeling centred and energized. Whether you are a beginner or seasoned practitioner, the classes cater to all levels, encouraging personal growth and exploration. The retreat's setting in the heart of the Burren is unrivalled. Surrounded by lush greenery within the rocky Burren landscape and the serene sounds of nature, it was the perfect backdrop for introspection and relaxation. The optional guided walks in nature allowed me to immerse myself fully in the stunning scenery, further enhancing the overall experience. The food at the retreat deserves special mention. Delicious, nutritious vegetarian meals were served daily, prepared with fresh, local ingredients by Claire and Patricia. Each meal was a culinary delight illustrating what can be achieved in vegetarian cuisine. What truly sets Burren Yoga Retreat apart is the genuine sense of community and care. Whether chatting with fellow retreat-goers over meals or enjoying a quiet moment alone, I always feel a deep sense of belonging and connection. Overall, my time at Burren Yoga Retreat was a rejuvenating and transformative experience. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and deeply grateful. I cannot recommend this retreat highly enough to anyone seeking a meaningful escape into nature's embrace.

Fantastic experience: There’s a reason I’ve been coming to the Burren Yoga Retreat every year for the last 5 years…… Is it the beautiful state-of-the-art facility? The skilled Yoga Teaching? The guided Meditations? The wonderful landscape nestled in the heart of the Burren countryside? The locally sourced vegetarian cuisine? The group hill walks and hikes? The group trips to the lake and the beach for swimming? The trips to a local sea food restaurant for lunch overlooking the bay or to a nearby village? The opportunity to meet like minded people whether you are a skilled Yogi or an absolute beginner? Well……it’s actually all of the above and more! I highly recommend this wonderful Yoga Retreat. The owner Dave puts a huge amount of energy, passion and focus into ensuring this retreat is Best In Class! If you’ve ever considered booking a Yoga Retreat, this is the one to book! You’ll be glad you did!

Fantastic experience: I have just spent a fabulous week at the Burren Yoga Retreat. It was a deeply nourishing experience on many different levels, not least with our exceptional teacher, Eleanor Dawson. We were so well looked after by Alex too. They made a great team! The food by Claire and Patricia was excellent and all of the staff were warm and friendly. The walks in the beautiful Burren landscape were lovely, made all the better by the great company. Dave can be very proud of his team, his beautiful centre and gorgeous studio. This was my second time here and I look forward to returning again.

Fantastic experience: I had the most wonderful time at The Burren Yoga Retreat! This was my fourth yoga retreat here (and will certainly not be my last)! You arrive at the beautiful retreat centre instantly feel at ease - Dave and his staff are so welcoming and friendly! You quickly settle in - from the clean, spacious comfortable rooms to the delicious meals prepped daily and served in the dining area where you can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere with fellow yogis on the retreat! I attended with my Mam (Debbie) and we always enjoy this retreat in particular - we have made it a tradition to share the experience together and meet new yogis. You get a chance to get away from the busyness of everyday life and leave feeling rested and recharged and ready to return home with a different mindset! The Yoga Studio is just gorgeous with panoramic views of the Burren! So fabulous that I couldn’t resist getting a picture taken! I would HIGHLY recommend! Why not treat yourself and book a retreat, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Just back from spending a week there, Eleanor was the teacher and she was fantastic! The food was excellent, as was the daily agenda, room and the company. I signifiicantly benefitted from attending this retreat. THANK YOU soo much to all involved. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: I have recently attended the Burren Yoga Retreat and I can confidently say it was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. Nestled in this fantastic landscape, the retreat offered breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere that immediately set the tone for relaxation and self-discovery. The yoga sessions were led by a top-notch teacher who brought a perfect blend of expertise, encouragement, and serenity to every class. Her guidance helped deepen my practice and brought a new level of mindfulness to my daily routine. The culinary experience was nothing short of heavenly. The vegetarian food, crafted by a 5-star cook, was a delightful journey of flavors and nourishment. Every meal was a testament to the chef’s skill and passion, making each bite a moment to savor. The outings organized by the retreat were fantastic and diverse, offering a well-rounded mix of relaxation and adventure. From unwinding in a sauna to invigorating swims and challenging hikes, there was something for everyone. These activities provided a perfect balance to the introspective yoga practice, allowing us to connect with nature and each other. One of the highlights was the fantastic group of participants. The retreat attracted a wonderfully diverse crowd, including men and women from Ireland and around the world, spanning all ages. This mix of people enriched the experience, fostering a sense of community and shared growth. Overall, this retreat in the Burren was an extraordinary experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice, connect with nature, and meet amazing people. It was truly a perfect blend of tranquility, adventure, and community. Simon from Switzerland

Fantastic experience: Amazing 6 Day New Year Yoga Retreat.My trip to The Burren Yoga Centre for a New Year’s Yoga Retreat with Margarida Tree was all that I’d hoped for. The recently refurbished Centre is the perfect spot to relax, unwind and soak up the local peace and beauty. The glass-fronted yoga studio is beautiful with views out over the Burren, the bedrooms comfortable, clean and homely. The day was well structured with morning yoga and meditation, followed by a delicious breakfast, wonderful outings, guided by the ever helpful and knowledgeable Joanne. Evening dinner was followed by relaxing restorative yoga and deep meditation. The teacher Margarida was absolutely fantastic. She brought her years of experience and wisdom to the group in her gentle and nurturing way. She accommodated everyone, whatever level they were at, and imparted her gems of wisdom whilst guiding us through our yoga practice. This was a perfect way to spend the New Year, with lots of healing, intention-setting and letting go of the past year and joyfully welcoming the new. Many thanks to Dave and all the team. I would highly recommend visiting this fabulous place.

Fantastic experience: From the mountains of Salt Lake City, a group of us followed our beloved yoga instructors Kim and Scott for a private retreat. Of course the yoga was amazing but the place of the Burren was a a surprise. The retreat team was off the charts fabulous from our host Alex to the proprietor and funder Dave to the amazing chefs. We felt a thousand welcomes into this space and it wrapped itself around us after a day of exploring. We slept well, ate better than we do most days of our lives, and took in the beauty around us.

Fantastic experience: I can’t speak highly enough of my week-long retreat at Burren Yoga. Yoga & meditation was led by the phenomenal Eleanor Dawson but the retreat was about so much more. It’s an experience for foodies, hikers, photography enthusiasts, sea swimmers, solo travellers, old friends or those in search of new ones. The Burren Yoga team are all about quality, comfort, and care. The retreats are run like a well-oiled machine where every detail is considered. The guides are knowledgeable (cheers Madalena!), the chef is gifted (all hail Claire!), and the founder is completely devoted to his guests and to the Burren itself (thank you Dave for curating the most wonderful experience). I always find something to grumble about but I simply couldn’t find fault with Burren Yoga.

Fantastic experience: A lovely place - light, airy and spacious. Built and maintained to the highest standards, set in wonderful and uniquely beautiful countryside which is with you all the time thanks to the picture windows everywhere. A great place to be.

Fantastic experience: Great weekend here with a mix of yoga, meditation, hiking and swimming with amazing food. Such a fun experience. Would definitely recommend to relax and rejuvenate.

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful weekend of Hatha and restorative yoga in the beautiful serving of the Burren. The vegetarian food was excellent..Felt very welcome and looked after. Highly recommend this yoga retreat.

Fantastic experience: Amazing weekend at Burren Yoga Retreat. I went with my mum and we both loved it. Lots of yoga, with a perfect mix of classes, meditation, outdoor walks and swims and stunning food. The food and experience exceeded our expectations.

Fantastic experience: My experience of The Burren Yoga Retreat Centre was faultless. From the moment I stepped in until I left, the atmosphere was one of peaceful friendliness with no pressure to engage beyond what I was ready for. The pacing of the weekend was pitch perfect and we were nourished by the yoga and meditation by the most skilled teacher in Niamh where no one was left feeling inadequate and went away with a clear view of their relationship with self awareness and self care. The physical nourishment of the amazing food prepared from scratch by Clare and the warmth and cleanliness of the spaces to sit and sleep were equally nourishing. David takes personal pride I delivering a top quality product that is accessible through its affordability for many. I will be back....

Fantastic experience: I just spent my fourth weekend retreat at the Burren Yoga Centre and, as usual, it was amazing. The centre has been through a refurbishment since I last attended and it is even more luxurious than ever. The spaces are bright, warm and super clean. The views around the burren landscape are spectacular. The bedroom was large and so comfortable with everything you could possibly need and wonderful views. It was also so quiet and easy to sleep. The yoga room is out of this world. It is located on the second floor, is beautifully warms and has panoramic views out over the Burren hills. Every prop you could want is available to make yoga as comfortable as it can be. The food was superb. Claire, the chef, prepared some of the best vegetarian food that I have ever had. There was a huge quantity and variety of food and we never had a hungry moment. Despite the storm that raged on Saturday we still got out for a reasonably sheltered and spectacular walk in the Burren with lunch afterwards at the wonderful Linnane's lobster bar. Our teacher for the weekend, Niamh Daly, led us in some fabulous practices which included yin, somatics and dreamy yoga nidra. I felt so rejuvenated and rested after my weekend. Dave, as always, was a gracious host and Madelena was also a wonderful assistant to him. There was a real sense of community and wonderful chats and laughs were had. That is something that is often missing in our post-covid world and was so enjoyable to connect with people without technology for a few days. I can't wait to go back!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing weekend at Burren Yoga. The Centre is top class, is warm, cosy and spotlessly clean. All the staff are amazing, accommodating and so friendly. Our Chef Clare made incredible healthy meals and our yoga teacher Niamh was so full of knowledge, I absolutely loved her classes and looking to see what online classes she offers as she is the best yoga teacher I have ever come across. Madelina looked after us so well and was just so easy going. The yoga, meditation and the hikes on the Burren were beautiful and the weekend completely exceeded my expectations. I did not want to return to the real world :) I will definitely be booking in again.

Fantastic experience: I wish I could give this oasis 10 stars!! I have had the most amazing weekend, exceeded my expectations. The photos on the website don’t do it justice, it’s more fabulous in real life. The whole centre is absolutely spotlessly clean, warm, cosy and welcoming. The food is amazing, Claire, the chef, produces the most delicious food, all put together perfectly, you most definitely will not go hungry!! Niamh our yoga instructor for the weekend is a fountain of knowledge which she imparts generously, with all of the classes so varied. I can’t wait to return and am already planning a longer retreat next time. Thank you to Dave, Niamh, Magdalena, Claire and all of the hardworking people in the Burren yoga centre, it was an absolute joy and privilege to experience it!

Fantastic experience: Just spend a very enjoyable Bank Holiday weekend at Burren Yoga Center, with yoga teacher Eileen O'Riordan. The yoga was a nice mix of dynamic and restorative, with some meditation too. The yoga center is very comfortable and relaxing. The yoga studio is bright and airy with a view of the Burren. There was plenty of space and lots of props, as needed. Beds were very comfortable, with egyptian cotton sheets. Amazing vegetarian food prepared by Claire. Joanne gave us a very warm welcome and did an excellent job in organising our schedule throughout the weekend. She also led us on two very enjoyable walks and organised a wonderful sauna and sea dip on the Sunday. She was always on call to answer any questions, or provide any help we needed throughout the weekend. I left the weekend, feeling rejuvenated and refreshed and I would highly recommend this center for anyone who enjoys yoga, fresh air, good food and a get-away from the busy world we live in.

Fantastic experience: Had a very relaxing few days at the Burren Yoga Retreat. Staff, food, classes and facilities were excellent and the location is superb. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to wind down and get away from the hustle and bustle for a bit.

Fantastic experience: Excellent food, comfy beds in new rooms, a spacious yoga studio, and all set in an inspiring landscape - what more do you want?!

Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful six night stay end December 2023. Accommodation excellent, delicious vegetarian food, daily outings were so enjoyable but do bring the proper outdoor gear remember t'is the west of Ireland you're visiting. Loved the yoga by Niamh, and Dave and the team made sure everyone was well looked after. Will definitely visit again.

Fantastic experience: The Burren retreat is in a beautiful location and the quality of yoga, lodging, food and company is second to none. I stayed for three nights and enjoyed every minute, returning from it feeling calm and serene, with great memories and some lovely new friends. Dave was lovely and accomodating of our requests (arriving late, staying an extra night at last minute notice). Niamh was the yoga instructor and the yoga and meditation practices were the perfect balance physically and spiritually. Clare, the chef makes unbelievable food..like unbelievably good!! Joanne was lovely, welcoming and provided a very fun taxi! We enjoyed lovely outings, a dip in the sea and walks in our free time. I cannot recommend this retreat enough- if you need a break or to relieve stress. It was the perfect way to start they year and I'd love to go again!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend this highly enough. The locations was magnificent and the accommodation was new, clean and comfortable. As a solo traveler I received a warm welcome and was well looked after by our host (Grainne ) who was always available and made sure we had everything we needed. The yoga course was fantastic, our teacher (Niamh) was extremely knowledgeable and mindful of our abilities. And I have to mention the other people I met there. They were welcoming and friendly and they made a great week exceptional.

Fantastic experience: It was an amazing weekend and yoga experience. Place is fabulous and secluded. Everything is beautifully renovated with natural woods and is spotless. I felt very cut off so really helped to unwind. The teacher was excellent and really thought me to how to value yoga and its power. Totally recommend it for a yoga retreat. The food from a top class chef was a super surprise. Thanks to all the burren yoga team.

Fantastic experience: Spent a weekend here with yoga teacher Margarida and manager Joanne. Building is beautiful, clean, modern and calm. Added luxuries like electric blinds, dressing table, and huge shower with great pressure. Food was incredible, roasted aubergines with miso, smoked tofu curry, avocado chocolate mouse, etc, every meal was unique and healthy and tasty. Yoga was great balance of meditative and active and some philosophy too. Margarita and Joanne were very kind people. Activities were fun, went hill walking and sea swimming.

Fantastic experience: No better place to spend the last weekend in November. From the moment I arrived I felt welcome. The yoga took place in a gorgeous purpose built studio with the beauty of the Burren as a backdrop. Margarita the teacher was thorough and dedicated to our wellbeing. The chef Claire made the culinary experience fantastic and feeling like you would want to become vegan if she could come home to cook for you. The weather played it's part as we had a guided hike by Joanne up Angel Hill to take in the whole of Galway Bay and the Burren. It was a delightful experience and thanks to all involved. Éilis

Fantastic experience: Fantastic weekend of yin yoga and meditation at the Centre. Really peaceful and comfortable stay, delicious food and I had a lovely welcome from the team there. I hope to return!

Fantastic experience: Just back from my weekend at the Burren yoga retreat and I already know I will return. I have been on many yoga retreats in Ireland and Spain. This for me, felt like a very genuine and authentic experience. Our yoga teacher Eleanor was exceptional, the food was 5 stars, the venue is lovely and the views from the yoga room are breathtaking. It’s hard to beat meditating on scenery that is recognised by UNESCO! Dave and Joanne are warm, welcoming and discerning hosts. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking to reconnect with themselves in the company of like minded people.

Fantastic experience: I have just spent a very special weekend at The Burren Yoga Retreat and have returned feeling rested, refreshed and full of enthusiasm for my continued yoga journey and the start of my meditation journey. David’s passion and enthusiasm for his retreats shines through all aspects of the weekend. We were very grateful for the warm welcome from George and his thoughtfulness and attention to detail, the excellent teaching by Carmel and the delicious food by Claire. The content and planning of the weekend was top notch - there was a really good amount of yoga but I also enjoyed some free time to read / nap. Highly recommended and I hope to be back.

Fantastic experience: I recently brought a group of 19 to the Burren Retreat Center. Our time there was magical. The location was private & surrounded by nature while still being close to the most incredible sites & cultural attractions. The staff was MARVELOUS. The facilities were impeccable. The yoga room was stunning & David, the owner, assisted me all along the way with planning and was always a joy. I HIGHLY recommend taking your yoga group there, and I would certainly bring another group there when I return to Ireland.
