So, Summer wasn’t as healthy as you were expecting. When you’re sitting in by the the fire rather than laying out on a sun lounger, it’s hard to be virtuous. If you’re feeling the need for a cleanse in a safe and welcoming environment, check out our 3 Day Detox Retreat.
Each day begins with a yoga class to stretch and realign the body. After this, a freshly squeezed juice is taken before you head into the sauna and hot tub for your ‘Uisce Hour’. Lunch is the main meal of the day, and is a hearty fair of vegetables, pulses and fruits (think Moroccan vegetable tagine, Marinated vegetable ramen, Jersey bean crock). After a little free time we take to the hills for a guided walk, before heading back for restorative yoga, evening supper and a good long sleep. You’ll leave refreshed, glowing and ready to take on the world.

Ard Nahoo Eco Retreat based in Dromahair Co. Leitrim will host the first ever internationally accredited yoga teacher training in the county and the only such programme in the North West at present. Celebrating 10 years in business, this unique retreat was voted ‘one of the top ten retreats worldwide’ by London Guardian.
Owner and Yoga School director Noeleen Tyrrell says “we have been offering yoga retreats and weekly classes at Ard Nahoo for a decade now and the Teacher Training Programme is the natural next step for me as a teacher, and for Ard Nahoo to further develop its potential”. Tyrrell has been practicing the art of Yoga for 20 years and teaching for 10 years and is very passionate about sharing her love of the practice to others.
The course is a 200 hour Yoga Alliance registered programme and will start on the first weekend in October and will run over ten months. Included in the programme is a 5 Day Residential where students will immerse themselves in the yoga lifestyle. Teacher training is a transformational experience that will deepen an existing practice and can open the door to a new and fulfilling career path.
A free introductory workshop will take place at Ard Nahoo on Saturday 27th August from 10am – 12pm for those interested in becoming a yoga teacher. All are welcome. For further information or to book your place visit www.ardnahoo.com or call Noeleen on 087 921 8906.

A huge thank you to everyone who came to our Yoga and Curry Night last week. A great time was had by all, and we raised €260 for the Dromahair Demons Festival! Money to a great cause, and we can’t wait until the 18th June!

I was in Dublin last weekend for this course, run by Gayle MacDonald of www.medicinehands.com
It was Gayle’s first time teaching in Ireland, and it was a wonderful and insightful course. The thing is, when you’re training in massage, you’re most often taught that you should never massage anyone with cancer. The thinking was that massage could move lymphatic fluid around the body and that this could “spread” the cancer. This has proven to be completely false. The process of cancer spreading, metastasis, is caused by a genetic mutation, and nothing else. Lymph is pushed around the body by every day movements, so if the theory was true, doctors would insist that all patients stay in their beds for months. In fact, they encourage quite the opposite.
However, massaging during cancer is something that needs to be treated with great respect, and therapists do need appropriate training to first do no harm.
Which is why I was on the course!
I’ll post back soon about how I’ll be incorporating this into my practice, but in the meantime, if you have any questions at all then do let me know at info@ardnahoo.com

As I flicked through the Style Magazine from the Sunday Times (which is a highlight of my week, I must admit) I must say I was surprised to see Manorhamilton included as one of the hippest neighbourhoods in Ireland.
Surprised in a good way, of course. It is true – Manorhamilton is a hub of creative activity, full of musicians, filmmakers and artists. The Glen’s Centre is a fantastic spot for intimate gigs, and nothing beats the French bread from the Friday market.
So well done Manorhamilton. You’re officially “hip”. Though not as hip as us.

There’s a beautiful article in this week’s ‘Go’ travel supplement about retreats in Ireland… http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/travel/2011/0226/1224290868759.html
Well worth a read, and not only because we’re in it!
Also, a photograph that I took is on the front page of the section, which I’m so incredibly excited about. So excited, in fact, that I took a photo of it!
“For a much gentler option, Ard Nahoo in Leitrim offers a two-day personal retreat focusing on the restorative benefits of nature.
Guests here stay in private eco-cabins surrounded by the peace and quiet of the gentle Leitrim countryside. Spend your days out walking before returning to enjoy everything from an outdoor sauna and hot tub to yoga classes and massage treatments. No shortage of food here and it’s all organic.
Cost: the two-day retreat, including organic welcome pack with breakfast foods and one dinner, is available throughout the year and costs €260pp midweek rising to €360 at weekends. A three-day mind and body detox including yoga classes, water treatments, vegan meals and lots of walking, is €420pp based on two sharing.”
