Retreats

Join us on our luxurious 'Away for a Day' retreat experience including two yoga classes, meditation, delicious food, use of our fabulous facilities and brand new wellness lounge.

Join us for a unique day retreat and get to experience the best of what we offer, but over the course of a day. We have lovingly taken the best parts of our longer residential retreats and condensed them for those who cannot escape for longer or for those wishing to sample what we do before committing to a full retreat.

We will start the day with your arrival. Tús maith leath na hoibre as the Irish expression goes, A good beginning is half the work, and as soon as you arrive you will be made to feel welcome and at home. You will head over to our stunning studio to experience your first yoga class. This class represents our morning class as we do it on retreat and is an energising practice to get the heart going and the body working. We cater for all levels and you are also welcome to do as much or as little as you like. Our expert teachers are adept at teaching multiple levels, as they do on our residential retreats and you will be in safe and loving hands.

After this 75 minute class you will head to the dining room to be delighted by the most delicious vegetarian fare you could imagine. Made with a mix of our own organic vegetables grown just metres away in our retreat garden and a dash of love, you will get to sample what our retreat guests get every day.

After this you are free to enjoy our brand new Wellness Lounge. We recently added to our Cedar Hot Tub with views of the ocean and our glass fronted sauna by adding in a Herbal Steam, Far-Infra Red Sauna and sea-view lounge. If you fancy doing the hot-cold thing (and we highly recommend it) we have 2 cold showers for this too. If this doesn’t take your fancy you can curl up with a cup of tea and a book in one of our beautiful living spaces and we will have the fires lit. Alternatively you could take a walk down to the sea and stretch your legs in the ocean air, you will be right on the sea within 8 minutes of walking from the front door of the retreat.

After this we will meet back in the studio again for a candlelit restorative yoga class. This reflects the evening classes on our residential retreats and you can expect to relax in a way you never have before. This class is all about letting go and releasing and is all done on the floor on our beautiful fluffy cloud mats (woollen yoga mats) to relaxing and soothing music. This decadent class will leave you feeling brand new and seeing the world through fresh, relaxed eyes. Once we finish in here we will make our way back to one of our living rooms for delicious and healthy homemade cake and tea before we say our final goodbye.

After another 3kms turn left, just before The Rock Shop (which is on the right side of the road). After 200 metres you will reach a crossroads, turn right. Continue up the road for approximately 750metres, we are the third property on the left, you will drive up a long driveway and we will be waiting for you there!

Common Questions

What time is check-in?

Check-in is at 4pm for a weekend stay & 5pm for a longer stay..

My flight gets in earlier than the 4/5pm check in, can I come earlier?

We will be preparing the retreat centre at that time and if a group checked out that day your room will be not be ready if you are arriving very early. We recommend getting the taxi to drop off your bags and then taking you into Lahinch. We are isolated and there isn’t anywhere to get lunch but Lahinch has cafes, restaurants, shops and a lovely beach. Your taxi can arrange to collect you again later.

My flight arrives a day in advance - can I stay an extra night?

We don’t have guests staying earlier as the centre is not open before a retreat. There may also be a retreat still in progress.

We recommend staying in Lahinch which is only a few kms away and has walking access to hotels, hostels, B&B’s, shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants and a lovely long beach.

My flight leaves the next day - can I stay an extra night?

We don’t have guests staying an extra night as the centre is closed after a retreat. There may also be a retreat starting.

We recommend staying in Lahinch which is only a few kms away and has access to hotels, hostels, B&B’s, shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants and a lovely long beach within walking distance.

I arrive into Shannon Airport, what's the best way to get to you?

Please visit our Getting Here page for full details.

Will I be able to share a transfer from Shannon airport?

It will depend if there are others on the same flight. Due to GDPR regulations we are not in position to provide other guests’ contact details and organise this for you. If you are in a position where you have to pay for a taxi on your own on the way in, it is usually easier to get back to the airport as you can look into public transport or get a lift with another guest driving past the airport.

Is there Wifi?

We have wifi for guests in Reception House, which has a comfortable, communal lounge to read, relax and get online if you want to.

I'm coming on my own can you pair me to share?

We can pair you with someone of the same gender.

What do I need to bring?

We provide towels, hand soap, hair-driers and yoga equipment, please bring anything else you require.

I'm new to yoga, will the retreat suit me?

We get beginners all the time, and everyone is welcome.

I have a severe food allergy , can you accommodate me?

Yes we can, please can you let us know your severe food allergy upon booking.

Is alcohol served/allowed at the Retreat?

No, we are a dry facility but there are some wonderful pubs in the area that we can guide you to and we can also provide you with some taxi numbers.

How do I arrange a massage during my stay?

We are limited for treatments due to having only one therapy room. With a full retreat program there are only certain slots available, for example, on a weekend retreat there are only 3 massage slots. If you know in advance that you would like a treatment please contact us to arrange.

I'd like to book a surf lesson/activity, should I do this before I arrive?

It is a good idea to make sure you can get a place. The details for recommended tour operators are on in the section The Area.

What kind of yoga do you teach?

All our teachers are extremely experienced but each teach their own style. Please see the individual retreats and teachers’ biographies for more specific details.
