Description
Dromahair is a picturesque village located on the banks of the river Bonet and home to Ard Nahoo’s 6-acre Eco-Retreat Centre. The region has an interesting history and a walk around the village will bring you into contact with remnants of its past.
Those in search of rejuvenation can come to Ard Nahoo for a day (€90) or choice of residential retreats: Weekend Yoga & Relaxation Retreat (€300), Wise Woman Weekend (€135); 3-day Detox (€420); and 5-day Detox and Juice Cleanse (€630) Commencing in 2011 a 10 month Yoga Teachers Training Course will be offered. The rates for most residential retreats include shared accommodation, meals, yoga, guided walks and Uisce Hour.
From October until March guests can recharge with a €90 full day retreat. The day includes morning and evening yoga in a bright eco yoga studio that brings nature inside with beautiful views of the grounds, pond, and Wise Woman Mandala. Yoga is followed by a divine organic brunch of homemade treats such as feta and tomato quiche, wholemeal breads, scones and more. Before the afternoon guided walk, guests will melt into utter bliss during Uisce Hour in the indoor/outdoor wet area with infrared sauna and hot tub overlooking Loch Nahoo.
Unlike the Yoga Day Retreat, the Weekend Yoga Retreat includes 2 nights accommodation and an additional Friday evening and Sunday morning yoga class and brunch. Yoga classes for all levels are specifically designed for the time of day in which they are placed.
The Detox retreats are designed to refresh the body and mind by taking time to eat well, exercise and enjoy nature. Each day begins with a yoga class, followed by an 'Uisce Hour', which will eliminate toxins, burn calories and soothe muscles. After a healthy vegan meal, guests will walk through the stunning Leitrim countryside. The late afternoon brings free time for rest and relaxation before a light meal of soup and salad in the evening.
The 5-day Detox and Juice Fast retreat is one of the first of it’s kind in Ireland, and specially designed to cleanse the body and offer you new knowledge to help guests lead a healthier and happier lifestyle. In addition to the usual detox package guests will enjoy a complete 2-day juice fast, back massage and specialist workshops on personal development, raw and wholefood, Tai Chi and personal fitness.
The innovative Eco Cabins provide shared eco luxury with all the home comforts. Heated by pellet stoves and insulated with hemp, these cabins provide a toasty haven in which to relax and unwind. All cabins come with an organic welcome pack, including homemade bread, tea, coffee etc.
Therapeutic bodywork treatments.from €45 can be arranged in advance for those wanting extra pampering.
