Curriculum

Slow Flow Foundations

Our training begins with two weekends dedicated to Yin and restorative yoga. Followed by Slow Flow, a therapeutic style inspired by slow-flow Vinyasa yoga. This practice serves as the Yang component of our Yin Fusion classes and lays the groundwork for modules in Ayurveda, Women’s Health, Breath Coach, Energy Medicine, and Heal.

Yin and Restorative

Embrace a serene winter wind down with our Yin and Restorative Yoga section. This part of the training provides comprehensive knowledge of these gentle practices and equips you to teach them effectively.

Ayurveda, TCM, and Women’s Health (for women)

Dive deeper into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda, focusing on female health. This module covers the stages of the menstrual cycle and menopause, offering valuable insights into women’s wellness.

Soma Yoga Therapy (for men)

For those not participating in the Women’s Health module, Soma Yoga Therapy is an excellent alternative. This training addresses postural dysfunctions, injuries, and joint issues through biotensegrity, Somatics, and gentle asana, complementing Yin Yoga beautifully.

Breath Coach

Explore the therapeutic aspects of pranayama in this module. It’s an incredible addition to your Yin and Restorative classes, enhancing your ability to guide others in breathwork.

She combines all of her skills and experience to teach anatomy and physiology on Yoga Teacher Training courses internationally and runs her own online Anatomy and Physiology Applied to Yoga courses, and ITEC level Anatomy, physiology ,and Pathology for therapists.

Yoga Philosophy with Robbie

Robbie’s initial Yoga education came from two adept yogis in India and he has spent much time there since visiting various ashrams and Yoga schools to further deepen his understanding.

To date he has completed formal training in Ashtanga Yoga (India), Somatic & Embodied practices (Portugal), Yoga for Adolescents (London), Yin Yoga, anatomy specific courses under Benjamin Sears (USA) & the Functional Range Conditioning method with FRS.

Robbie continues to study Classical Non-Dual Tantric Philosophy especially drawing on the guidance of Christopher Wallis and draws upon this for his practice, worldview & teachings.

His classes are diverse, and explorative and always aim to deliver the student into a place of inquiry within their own body. Robbie aims to empower students.

‘In a world that is frantically growing’ says Robbie, ‘Yoga can be our anchor going forward’. He is delighted to share this practice and walk this path with you.

Trauma-Informed Somatic Breathwork

This breathwork training focuses on the impact of trauma, promoting safe and holistic healing. It equips facilitators with the skills to handle trauma with empathy, sensitivity, and respect.

Energy Medicine

Delve into the energetics of chakras and vayus through Vini yoga style movement, pranayama, and mudras. This module offers a profound understanding of energy medicine.

Heal

Our Trauma-Sensitive Yoga module supports the recovery from trauma, depression, and grief, providing a compassionate approach to healing.

My wife and I went for the one day Sunday retreat with the yoga session followed by a walk and then the saunas and cold plunge experience. We had a beautiful lunch (sourced locally from providers in Ennis) and finished the day with a sound bath. We came away feeling completely relaxed and revitalized. Rosie was a fantastic host during our sessions, guiding us through our journey. For me the sound bath was quite an experience, very calming and allowed me to achieve a deep state of relaxation. Rosie and Michael, I found very genuine people who seem to care deeply about what they do. Some of the best spent money I've spent for a long time. Thanks Rosie and Michael...

There is something very healing and soothing about the Shannon estuary retreat. A lot of work and thought is put into every event and there is a huge variety toe events to choose from. I highly recommend it.

Rosie welcomed my friend Judy and I to her soulful sanctuary in July 2022 and we had a wonderful experience. I went back in August this year and as always, you walk into a sense of calm in a safe space. The food on the day was out of this world and I cannot wait to come back in November for another wonderful experience 🫶🏼✨

I did the Wim Hof Method Retreat here. From the warm welcome and the beautiful surroundings this place should be high on everyone's list.
The retreat was really special. The breath work and ice bath was amazing. Josef, the course instructor was fantastic. I was in a group of 5 strangers and we instantly connected. We shared stories openly about our lives. It was truly a wholesome and nurturing experience .
The owners Micheál & Rosie go above and beyond to make your time with them unique, fun and memorable.
The lunch was out of this world! Delicious tapas, salad, soup, breads and dessert!! I'll be back!! ❤️

I had the most fabulous day at the Shannon Estuary Hike & Yoga retreat. I went to the retreat alone but the wonderful energy from both the place itself and Rosie put me at ease straight away. From the first moment I arrived I felt safe to share and was blown away by how beautiful the location is. It was wonderful to spend the day with like-minded people. I really enjoyed the mindful walk and the dip in the secret waterfall was like something out of a movie. The cacao was just the best thing I’ve ever tasted! When we got back the outdoor area - the sauna, hot tub and plunge pool was so luxurious and perfect after the walk to relax. The food was delicious, healthy and locally sourced. Even with all my food allergies I was still catered for. The day ended with a beautiful relaxation yoga and sound bath which was just perfect. I floated home, so relaxed and I can’t wait for my next retreat there. I’ll be back again very soon.
