Craving some time to yourself?

If escaping to an island for a weekend of self-care sounds like your idea of heaven right now, this could be just what you need.

A Yoga & Healing Retreat will take place on Sherkin Island, just of Baltimore in West Cork, from Friday, August 28th-August 30th, 2020. The getaway will be hosted by the yogis of Amy Russell Yoga, Kundalini Yoga & Healing Retreats Ireland and Kundalini Yoga Cork.

The ‘Anahata’, the Heart Chakra is the focus of the weekend and guests will be guided through a programme designed to “peel away unwanted layers and lay to rest old limiting stories and beliefs.”

Sounds dreamy.

“These transformative weekends of Kundalini yoga, deep meditation, shamanic journeys, reflective and creative space allows your soul to rest and to rejuvenate. We will disconnect from technology over the weekend while creating space and healing, to fully immerse ourselves within nature and the magical Island of Sherkin.”

So what’s on the schedule?

Your days will begin with early morning Sadhana Practice (chanting and yoga) in a room overlooking the sea.

Meditation walks, shamanic journeys and connection to the land will be woven into the weekend’s work. A menu of nourishing vegetarian dishes will also be provided – the perfect opportunity to re-focus your diet after a stressful summer.

The price of the weekend (€410pp) includes your ferry and a taxi to your accommodation on the island, plus meals and a double shared room for the weekend. To reserve your space, call 085 217 1155 or email amyrussellyoga@gmail.com.
