"Open house" personal yoga retreats on Clare Island

Would you like to spend a few days working on your backbends? or inversions? or releasing the tension in your shoulders? or allowing breath and gravity to work together?
When no courses are running, we offer an Open House yoga option for those who wish to spend time focusing on their yoga practice in a quiet setting. This means, that you can come (on your own or with a few friends) on dates that suit you, when no formal courses are running and for a minimum of three nights. There will be an early morning yoga session personalized for your own needs, You can make use of the yoga room later on in the day as well, if you wish. Enjoy our delicious food and have the rest of the day to explore the island, read or write or just relax!
This option would be of special interest to those with an established practice, and  for those who are serious about their yoga and wish to get help with various asana or alternatively wishing to soften and deepen their approach. Those with an ashtanga and/or vinyasa background can certainly benefit (Ciara can help you with both primary and second series) also well as those with a more general hatha background and/or an interest in the Scaravelli approach. If you are just starting out with yoga, doing an open house personal retreat can be very beneficial. Tuition is intense --in a small group or one-on-one, --- but this is how yoga was originally taught.
Cost is 90 euros/night, including yoga tuition, vegetarian food and accommodation. Non yoga partners are welcome too, cost without  yoga classes is 50 euros/ night. Please note that there will be one three course cooked meal a day, either lunch or dinner. Other meals are self-catered but we supply you with all ingredients, either organic or home produced (all vegetables, eggs, milk and yoghurt come from our farm).
