The Clare Island Yoga Retreat Centre, began unexpectedly when, in 2001, we had the crazy idea of doing an Easter yoga retreat on the island where we had been living. We were surprised that the course filled up; but perhaps we shouldn’t have been surprised by the delight expressed by the participants. People raved about our food, about the surroundings and dramatic landscape of the island, and were appreciative of the chance to deepen their yoga practices without stress or pressure.
The centre is located on the Lighthouse Road, on the northeastern end of the island. This is the least developed part of the island, and is very quiet, save for the sounds of birds, sheep, ducks, geese, dogs, horses.... It is set on 240 acres of land. mostly mountain land grazed by sheep and horses, but there's also a 10 acre native woodland, and a number of organic gardens and a polytunnel, which supply some of the fruit and vegetables for the courses. This is now our home as well, and we want the boundaries between our farm and homestead and the yoga centre to be relaxed and friendly.
