Make the most of your summer and escape to Mulvarra House for 7 days of yoga, meditation, relaxation and enjoying the gorgeous surroundings of St Mullins.
The long summer evening make this the perfect time to soak up the magic of St Mullins; spectacular sunsets over Brandon, the complete quiet broken only by birdsong and the wind in the trees. The morning yoga class will be a dynamic flowing experience – also suitable for yoga novices. The early evening practice will be yin yoga, slower and with longer hold for poses. There will also be plenty of time for meditation and pranayama (breathing) exercises.
Food is another vital component of this special experience and we spare no efforts to bring you the healthiest and most delicious vegetarian food, all made by Linda. We can also cater for a wide variety of dietary restrictions with advance notice.
They say laughter is the best medicine, and we hope that laughter is never far away in a weekend spent at Mulvarra. To that end another strand we have added to the weekend is games playing, although participation in this is by choice.
Also important is that we have time to digest, both physically and mentally. To that end we have been careful to build in provision for downtime. Mulvarra looks down on a path which stretches alongside the Barrow River for over 100 Km and passes through some of the most beautiful river scenery in all of Ireland. The perfect tool in fact for passing time with your thoughts while letting the natural splendour of the Barrow River calm you.
And then, there is…. Breath. Part of the weekend will be given over to a discussion of the concept of Prana and how it relates to both yoga and meditation. Prana and breathing are very closely related, and we will also learn some practical techniques for directly working with our prana using different breathing techniques or Prananyama.
Lastly and very much not least, sleep is crucial both physically (for the rest it provides our bodies) and psychologically (for the mental shift it achieves, allowing our unconscious to come out and play). Rest assured you will have sound sleep and lots of it while you stay at Mulvarra. All of our bedrooms are either twin or double and you can choose from shared or non shared option (book early to avoid disappointment). And if sleep has been eluding you of late, you may find that the yogic practice of yoga nidra, another strand of the weekend, has real benefits for you.
All in all a very rich tapestry woven together seamlessly, and delivered in a relaxed and very down to earth environment by your hosts, Tim and Linda. Sure what else would you be doing?

Brian McVeigh
Brian has spent the past few years delving into the Philosophy behind the physical practice, with thanks to the extensive knowledge and patience of Marianne Jacuzzi of Seven Winds Yoga. His classes focus on the transformative power of asana and working with the breath. Brian believes that in order to reap the benefits of yoga there must be an element of fun and discovery in the practice. He encourages honouring limitations and exploring variations to find the right posture for each practitioner.
