Reconnect to nature - a Retreat weekend of yoga and river kayaking
3 day retreat 31st JUly - 2nd August
“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper..”
― W.B. Yeats
A deeply restorative and invigorating bank holiday weekend of yoga and kayaking . The venue, Mulvarra House, is a new dedicated retreat centre in St Mullins, beside the River Barrow just at the point where the famous Barrow walk begins. We will take full advantage of our location by getting out on the river for a guided kayaking expedition along one of the most enchanting stretches of water in all of Ireland.
Situated within an hour and a half’s drive from Dublin, this part of Ireland has remained a well kept secret. Tucked away between the M9 and M11, the landscape around St Mullins plays host to a fascinating tapestry of rich and varied history. The scenery is miraculously unspoiled and really has to be seen to be appreciated. With good reason, St Mullins is known as the Jewel of the Barrow.
A full combination of yoga asana sessions, guided meditations, with a small group and enough time for chilling out, hanging out, and walking along the river. We will cover a variety of yoga styles – from energetic Vinyasa yoga in the mornings to a gentle heart opening and restorative yin-based practice in the evenings.
Highlights
- 5 yoga classes
- Kayaking on the Barrow River
- Suitable for beginners and all fitness levels
- All meals included
- 2 nights accommodation (shared and unshared accommodation options available)

The Breathing Space studio
This large, light-filled space has commanding views over the Barrow River and surrounding forests, as well as the 7th century monastic settlement of St Mullins itself. Although it was designed specifically to function as a yoga studio and mediatation space, it supports multiple uses. It features a special infra red heating system and a full complement of yoga equipment.

The food experience on the retreat
At Mulvarra, we are very excited about food. Excited about where it comes from, how it is grown, how it is prepared, who you eat it with. As we are still in the early stages of developing Mulvarra and its Breathing Space, we are currently using fresh ingredients and organic food where we can but in the future we will grow our own food.We generally stick to vegetarian cooking in Mulvarra, although we are flexible and also cater to a variety of dietary restrictions. Vegetarian cooking is so versatile, you really don’t miss that piece of meat on your plate when it’s not there. Whatever your thoughts are on the topic, there is no denying that the meat production in most countries is not sustainable and certainly not animal friendly. When we do, very occasionally, prepare meat dishes we make sure it’s organically sourced
Food Highlights
- Full board accommodation
- All meals and drinks included
- healthy energy snacks
- Food is all vegetarian and organic produce
