Join Kathryn Moynihan and Carmel Cronin for our Summer Yoga Retreat in the charming, beautiful Spanish town of Nerja in Mallorca.

We are returning to the beautiful Villa Cortijo De Paco Romo again after an amazing experience last year here. In a time when we need our practice even more, you’ll feel all the benefits of it in one amazing place with the sea, mountains, nature walks, sunshine, and beautiful coastline.

Our retreat is open to all levels. Kathryn has taught for the last 17 years and Carmel over 20 years. Both Carmel and Kathryn have been running retreats since 2015. Kathryn now runs the Bodhi Yoga School 200 hr Yoga Teacher Trainings in Ireland (with another partner) for the last six years. 

Carmel ran a successful yoga studio ( Yogazone) for ten years & is renowned for her therapeutic approach to teaching yoga for all levels.  She especially loves teaching Yin yoga using the Traditional Chinese Medicine approach. 

Both Carmel’s and Kathryn’s classes are alignment-style classes suited for all levels. We both offer every class with a sense of humor and intensity. You will leave feeling the transformation benefits yoga can offer and learn more about the practice and yourself. If you like the combination of invigorating Vinyasa yoga, nourishing Yin yoga, supportive meditation, as well as lots of relaxation, then this retreat is for you!  

This  retreat is designed to help you find greater balance, resilience, and an opportunity to deepen your practice. Over the course of our time together, we will immerse ourselves in nurturing practices, from rejuvenating yoga sessions to guided meditations and breathwork, all intended to renew your mind, body, and spirit.

 With ample time for self-reflection, community connection, and relaxation under the Spanish sun, this retreat offers the perfect setting to recharge and reconnect with yourself.

Your Teachers

Kathryn and Carmel will both be teaching you on this retreat. Full biographies are on their websites.

The Kitchen

We feel very excited to have the very experienced chef Kathrin joining us again on our retreat for the week. She has a huge passion for raw & plant-based foods, yoga, and holistic living. She was a big success last year on our retreat so we are looking forward to seeing what kind of amazing food she cooks up.

She will be offering a cooking workshop on our afternoon off if anyone would like to do a ‘foodie class’ with her. 

We will be posting information about this workshop closer to the time.
