SUMMARY:August Bank Holiday Sati Yoga Retreat Ireland 2025
DESCRIPTION:Sati Yoga Weekend Retreat: August Bank Holiday\n1st - 4th August 2025 (Clare Island\, Co. Mayo Ireland)\nCultivating awareness\, embodying change\n\n\n\n\n\nThis four day yoga retreat and meditation course is designed for students (from keen beginners to experienced practitioners) who wish to explore the connection between mindfulness (sati in the ancient language of the Buddha) and the classical eight limb system of yoga. \n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT TO EXPECT\n  \n\nThe practice of mindfulness in meditation can be readily applied to the practice of physical asana\, using classical hatha yoga postures. Within this approach\, meditation\, relaxation and breath training are integral elements. Working with a variety of asana\, this course explores how we can practice with an embodied awareness\, observing emotions and thoughts as they arise\, connecting and staying with our breath. By cultivating both active and receptive awareness\, our yoga practice becomes both deeper and lighter: a sense of spaciousness and ease in our bodies develops while strength and stability results from a groundedness through gravity. \nBy the end of the retreat\, students will have developed an understanding of how this integrated approach can become a tool of transformation within their own yoga practice as well as how it can be applied to other aspects of their lives. \nThe day starts with a 30 minute meditation session\, followed by a 2 and a half hour yoga session. Over the course of the retreat\, we explore sun salutations\, a variety of hatha postures and will play with the relationships between simple\, foundational postures and more complex asanas. \nBrunch follows the morning yoga. There is free time until we meet again for an afternoon session\, based around a more detailed exploration of yogic breathing.  The three course  vegetarian dinner is prepared from vegetables that are grown on the farm. We finish the day with a 30 minute silent sitting meditation. \nThis course would be of interest to keen beginners as well as experienced practitioners\, and especially to anyone who has an interest in meditation. (Those who have done an 8 week MBSR course may be particularly interested). Yoga teachers are also welcome. \n\nPRICE \nIn line with our three tier pricing policy: \n\nStandard cost of this retreat is €620\, please pay this price if you can\nSupported rate is €520 for those who can't afford the full fee\nSupporter rate of €720 is available for those who would like to support our work and encourage us to continue offering a supported rate on our courses.\n\nA 50% deposit\, payable online by Paypal or by bank transfer\, is required at the time of booking. \n  \nWHAT’S INCLUDED\nThese prices include: \n\nThree nights in shared accommodation.
