Creating space to just be, a yoga & meditation retreat

Imagine… breathing in the salty sea air. Saluting the sun while surrounded by nature. Tucking into hearty, nutritious food that magically appears just when you need it – after a replenishing, deeply satisfying yoga practice. Welcome to the Cliffs of Moher Retreat.

This retreat is all about slowing down, taking rest, come to practice yoga, meditate and ultimately stepping away from the business of daily life and responsibilities. Carving out a little time to create space to reconnect with yourself, your body, with nature and ultimately just be. Through our meditation practice and silent walks we will focus on being present in the moment, reconnecting with the beautiful surroundings of the land and sea.

Over this retreat we will connect with ourselves, our bodies, finding balance and cultivating inner peace. We will create a sense of calm, quiet, nourishing our bodies, spirit and soul. There is a part of us that is always at peace and we will use this time to come to that place of peace. This retreat will help to reconnect to our inner quiet and blissful stillness.

We will begin every morning with a meditation practice, followed by a lovely, healthy and super nutritious and delicious breakfast. We will then take a silent walk in the beautiful surroundings and come back for our morning yoga practice.

The morning practice will be warming flow in a vinyasa style of yoga, open to all levels and abilities. The evening yoga practice aims to stretch, strengthen and lengthen muscles and open tired joints, over all creating a feeling of strength, openness and lightness within the body. Allowing the body and mind to let go and sink into deep relaxation.

Common Questions

What time is check-in?

Check-in is at 4pm..

My flight gets in earlier than the 4pm 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. We will not know this at the time of booking.
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 our media room, a comfortable room to read, relax and get online if you want to.

Can I get a single room?

We have a limited number of single rooms which are booked on a first-come-first-served basis. Prices are €35 extra per night. Please contact to arrange.

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 teacher’s biographies for more specific details.
