Deirdre met us at the pier on Inishturk…
Deirdre met us at the pier on Inishturk island with a wide, warm, welcoming smile. Immediately I felt at ease in her company. The pase of the yoga sessions were so well matched to the group. She was so thoughtful and took time to explain what we needed to know. Encouraged us to embrace the peace and quiet of the island and hold onto the feeling and energy we created in our yoga and meditation sessions within ourselves. We were guided through different poses and relaxing meditations.
The sounds and energy from the Island formed part of our sessions which have stayed with me to this day. Deirdre brought us on an energetic walk around the island and we got to see some breathing views. All together the retreat was a magical experience.
Deirdre hosted us and catered for our needs so excellently. It's second nature for her and she was very organised. The food was so healthy and nutritious. Fresh and wholesome. It formed a significant part of the retreat. We shared recipes and exchanged insights into books and experiences over thoughtful meals.
Deirdre ensured we were served fabulous meals the Island restaurant. It was all so lovely. There was enough time out if we needed to walk and take some air. Well balanced with the right amount of work on the mat. Reminding us to listen to our bodies.
I came home feeling much more grounded and the experience as a whole has stayed with me for many reasons. Deirdre is full of kindness and her heart is open, caring and non judgemental. I am grateful to her for this wonderful time and support. I look forward to another retreat in Inishturk when the time comes.
I highly recommend Deirdre and Yoga Ripples, she is so knowledgeable and in tune with the human body, life and people. It's an added experience to go on a Yoga Retreat to an Island. Everything slows down.
