Reconnect - a Retreat weekend of yoga, nature and self care
21st - 23rd August
“Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.”
―
Are you suffering from zoom fatigue? Lockdown stress, cabin fever? Like most of us you may have found the last three months to be a particularly challenging time. The extra pressures of lockdown combined with lack of access for many to our go-to pressure valves (be it a yoga class, chilling out in good company or just a walk in the hills) have taken a toll on our sense of wellbeing.
While we were all grateful for the technology which allowed us to avoid isolation, there are only so many instagram yoga classes and zoom pub quizes we can do before we realise something is missing. If we ask ourselves what we really miss, it is that the sense of real connectedness which only comes from sharing the same space with other human beings.
Join us for this three day shared immersive journey exploring yoga, nature and self care. Surrounded by the superbly unspoiled natural beauty of St Mullins and the Barrow River valley, we step away from technology and reconnect once more on a deeper level. We mark this high summer weekend with an open heart and mind.
Using nature as our primary guide, we learn how to slow right down using different mindfulness techniques. Some of the techniques we explore include the Japanese art of Shinrin-yoku or forest bathing and a range of yoga styles from Hatha and Vinyasa Flow to Yin yoga. Meditation will be another focus of the weekend and we will experience a range of different Meditation approaches. There will be an optional talk on nutrition and health followed by a cookery demonstration.
Mulvarra’s hosts Tim and Linda are looking forward to welcoming you. Tim will guide you through some dynamic yoga sessions in the morning and afternoon and relaxing yin and yoga nidra/meditation sessions in the evening.
Highlights
- 5 yoga classes
- Optional food demonstration
- 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
