Quality hatha flow and yin yoga weekend
Manasi teaches Hatha Flow and Yin yoga and meditation. In her Hatha flow classes one’s focus is maintained on the breath, and coordinating the breath with the flowing movements. Manasi’s Yin yoga is more relaxing and restorative.
Manasi is a wonderful teacher whose passion for passing on the beautiful values and skills of yoga to her students is so evident in every class. She is a natural teacher and her warm and caring personality makes going to classes with her a real treat.
Sequences will flow from simple to more energetic – this class will tone, strengthen and increase flexibility. The class in the morning will be more energizing and in the afternoon more relaxing on this yoga and meditation weekend.
The Yin class will consist of long-held seated poses where poses will be held typically held for 3 to 6 mins to access the body’s connective tissue. This stretches and tones ligaments, joint capsules, tendons, bones and all the body’s fascia preventing inflammation and improving mobility.
There is a meditation class in the morning and evening each day, and one of the benefits of our retreats is that you can then take these practices home with you. A lovely combination of classes, outing on Satruday and amazing vegetarian food on this yoga and meditation weekend.
See top class yoga teacher Manasi’s yoga bio at the end of this page. The yoga retreat is located at the foot of the Burren hills nestled amongst the hazel trees. You are surrounded by a vast choice of special places in the Burren where we go for hill walks, Nature Trail walks, walks by the sea, beautiful beaches and forests to explore.
There are lovely places to swim in the sea or in our nearby lake which heats up during the summer.
Manasi’s classes are a flowing form of yoga coordinated with the breath. These vinyasa yoga classes vary from gentle to quite strong and dynamic. She always tunes into who is in the class and will tailor the practices to be suitable for each person.
Many students comment on the ‘wholesome nature’ of Manasi’s classes which are not just physical asana but more a combined effect of feeling alive and wholesome, energized, and feeling at peace with oneself. They also say that Manasi has healing energies and they feel uplifted, rejuvenated, and feel lighter as a result of her classes.
