Mairead mccarthy
Mairead believes that balance is very important – the balance between being physically active and eating well but most importantly enjoying life in the modern day world. Yoga and mindfulness help to bring balance and calm to her life.
Yoga has been an important part of Mairead’s life since university when she started attending weekly classes. She enjoys the physical element of the class, improving her flexibility and strength, and the sense of relaxation and peace that the yoga poses and breathing exercises bring.
She volunteered to join the DCU Yoga Society committee and helped to organise classes and run the club. In 2002, she began her training as a yoga instructor to deepen her own knowledge and learn to share it with others, and has continued her learning and teaching since.

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
