Thrive Retreat in Ireland

Ireland, a land of myth and majesty, sits on Europe’s western edge, where the Atlantic meets dramatic cliffs, rolling hills, and charming villages. From the rugged Wild Atlantic Way to the serene Kerry Mountains, its untamed beauty is undeniable.

The coastline boasts hidden coves, sweeping beaches, and iconic cliffs. Inland, ancient castles, mystical stone circles, and lively towns reflect Ireland’s rich history and warm hospitality.

From beaches to countryside, cities, and spas, our breakaway to Ireland provides a peaceful retreat into history, culture, and nature.

DAY 1: Monday, June 22nd

Arrive + Settle In | Kildare

Dia duit! Welcome to Ireland! As you arrive at Dublin Airport (DUB), our team will greet you and whisk you away to your first 4-star accommodation, Kilkea Castle, where you’ll get a chance to settle in, enjoy refreshments, and let travel tension melt away. You’ve made it.

Later that evening, we’ll kick things off with an opening circle, gentle yoga session, and a warm welcome dinner to connect with your fellow travelers.

DAY 2: Tuesday, June 23rd

Rest, Reset, and Rejuvenate | Kildare

Departure + a Refreshed Return | Dublin Airport

Enjoy one last breakfast together before check-out. Airport transfers will be arranged. You’ll leave with full hearts, deep rest, and memories that will carry you long after you return home.

A NOTE ABOUT BEST LAID PLANS (AND HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF THEM)

We’ve thoughtfully curated this itinerary to strike the perfect balance between movement and rest, exploration and reflection. While we aim to stick closely to the schedule below, we also leave space for spontaneity—because some of the best memories are the ones we don’t plan for.

All levels of experience are welcome!

Beginner yogis are encouraged to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to find the inspiration to start a personal practice. For more experienced yogis, a retreat is a great place to deepen and grow your yoga practice.

All yoga classes will occur outdoors when possible and be led by Jenny and Ian. We’ll offer a variety of classes — from the traditional 26+2 Bikram yoga class to energizing Vinyasa Flows to relaxing Yin Yoga classes and guided meditations. Experience the difference of practicing yoga in a beautiful, serene environment.

Please bring your own yoga mat.

Note: If you want to sleep in or nap instead of attending a class, that is totally okay :)

Of course! It’s natural to have questions. Click on the Retreat Inquiry button below to reach out to the team at Create Space Yoga.

All payments are non-refundable, no matter the reason for cancellation. For this reason travel insurance is required for all retreat participants.

Since all retreat payments are non-refundable, we strongly recommend securing comprehensive travel insurance at the time of booking. This protects you before your trip (in case unexpected circumstances prevent you from attending) and during your journey (in the event of personal injury, illness, lost baggage, or damaged belongings).

If you don’t yet have a trusted insurance provider, your credit card company may provide travel insurance options, or you could go with an established company like IMG Global or Travelex Insurance.

We do our best to accommodate most dietary needs. Be sure to let us know during registration so we can make arrangements with our chefs and venues.

All levels are welcome. Our retreats are designed to support beginners and experienced practitioners alike, with options to modify or deepen your practice as needed.
