Burren Yoga

The commitment to exploring yoga's resonance in our practice and everyday lives.

What an amazing place. This was my first time staying at Burren Yoga Retreat – and I can’t wait to go back. Everything about the weekend was wonderful. The level of care that that the entire team provides made this a truly special experience. Astrid is such a wonderful teacher with a wealth of experience and an amazing ability to cater for all levels. I learned so much more than I ever could have hoped for. As someone who hadn’t practiced in quite a while, she gave me so much confidence over the course of the weekend. The food is unbelievable – truly memorable. I loved the gentle chats over mealtimes and on our outing. There’s a real sense of calm and community here – with no pressure to be social. Our host Joanne was amazing – and really looked after us all weekend. Including taking us on a stunning walk in the Burren landscape and lunch a local restaurant. Thank you so much to everyone at BYR.

This retreat was exactly what my body and soul needed. The location is unique and the hikes around the area were full of unparalleled views and beautiful nature. Our retreat was led by Eleanor, who guided us through yoga and meditation that was gentle and more effective at grounding and centering than a lot of practice I've done before. The meals by Claire were a daily highlight of artful and delicious nourishment. I left the center with better focus and peace. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful place with excellent rooms and fun outings.

Margarita is so generous and attentive to each of us, her expertise is precious.

The location and the hikings all around each afternoon allow a welcome connection with nature.

The food is excellent and is a genuine way of taking care of us.

Magdalena, our assistant was very helpful to find solutions to our day to day little issues.

The relaxing atmosphere, created by the fantastic personality of the yoga teacher Niamh and coordinator George made my stay wonderful. The food was delicious and the building is top class. We had plenty to keep us busy for the week with walking, practising yoga or just chilling out in one of the many relaxing rooms. There was no pressureto take part in all activities but i did and am very glad I did. Would highly recommend 👌

I loved this place. Beautiful location. Comfy accommodation. Friendly, helpful and very warm hosts. Great yoga teacher. Amazing food. Lovely friendly people. I flew in from the UK to Shannon and was picked up by a very reasonably priced taxi transfer which was just a 40 minute drive.

I felt refreshed and rejuvenated after this retreat. Will definitely be back.

Everything about this Yoga Retreat is a great experience. Beautiful accommodation, excellent yoga and fantastic food make this an unforgettable experience. Also being able to explore the local Burren area adds more interest to the retreat.

My friend and I had the most relaxed weekend away in the Burren. The food was amazing and the rooms so cosy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend the retreat. We will be back!

The whole experience was amazing from start to finish.

The whole concept has been designed to make you slow down, get back to basics, detox, and reset. And all that within a couple of days!

The vegetarian food is so good (I'm not vegetarian)! The staff was lovely and very knowledgeable.

Carmel shared some great tips I have brought home to carry on the journey.

The hike, the lunch, and the sea swim in 7 degrees Atlantic ocean were perfect additions to the whole experience.

I had a fabulous time and met some lovely people.

Fabulous vegan food

Gorgeous location

Really lovely group of fellow yogis

The landscaping and grounds surrounding the facility were beautifully in keeping with the ethos and message of the centre. The decor/ furniture/ rooms etc were simple but perfect. No complaints.

Small group, excellent teacher, great location. Fabulous vegetarian food. Outings in local area for lunch and walks / hikes.

I highly recommend a visit to The Burren Yoga retreat in Co Galway. Dave’s hospitality was wonderful, nothing was too much trouble and his knowledge and experience on our guided walks in the wild flower meadows, hill walks and beach was so informative. Grainne’s teaching of meditation and yoga was extremely high quality and she took the time to explain everything. She literally has a voice like melted chocolate and I now have the skills to develop my own practice at home. Neil’s vegetarian cooking was delicious. We all went home with some of his recipes his food was that good. And the group of girls I met on our retreat shared by birthday and made the whole experience so memorable. I can not recommend the place and experience highly enough.

Beautiful location in the Burren and a very quiet, relaxing retreat centre. Sivananda yoga and meditation were well taught and classes were generous and well timed. GORGEOUS food every day, and nice chill out spaces for socialising and alone time

Everything.

The food was only fabulous. ...and I'm not even a vegetarian. The location and comfort were amazing. The people on the retreat were great fun. And lastly but certainly not least Eleanor Dawson is a fantastic yoga.....so relaxing, so knowledgeable, brilliant. Dave our host runs the retreat so well.....keeping us on track at all times. It was brilliant I will be back xx

The food was absolutely fantastic and so good. Paddi and Sam made the best meals i have tasted. The warm welcome received from Dave and the location in the unique setting of the burren. Karolina was an excellent instructor and was so helpfull and such a good instructor. The furniture throughout was so awesome and unique.

The retreat was everything I could have hoped for. The accommodation was comfortable, welcoming and the food was amazing. The yoga instruction was pitched perfectly for beginners as well as for the more experienced. The outings were varied, well organised, and the local knowledge that Dave has means that you visit places you would not find on your own.
