Yoga/Walking Week


Ireland Yoga/Walking Week

 

General Information

Truly unwind and relax on one of our yoga/gentle walking weeks in 2008. Discover a different level of consciousness through yoga and change your life. Regular practice will make your body more supple and flexible, your mind calmer and it will improve your concentration.

Enjoy a 2-hour yoga session each morning, covering postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama) and blissful relaxation. It’s as gentle as you want to make it and suitable for all ages. It is suitable for regular yoga goers and beginners who are interested in their general well being and want to take the time to discover yoga as well as walking.

Walks
The walks on 5 afternoons are a gentle 4-5 miles (1 boot) mainly through the National Park. Finish each day with a wonderful yoga relaxation session. There is a free day mid-week for you to explore Kerry. You could go and swim with Fungi the Dolphin in Dingle or see the Ring of Kerry. It’s your time to make the most of!

Killarney
Your base for the week will be a beautiful three star hotel in the heart of Killarney National Park. Killarney is a vibrant town in the heart of the Irish Lakeland in a beautiful national park – a walking mecca. Enjoy the colourful laneways, the fine neo-Gothic cathedral and other historic buildings. The town offers a great variety of craft/book shops, restaurants and pubs.
