Total Yoga Nidra Creativity Immersion

Reconnect to your creativity through daily Total Yoga Nidra and fluid, nourishing yoga in the wild beauty of the Burren.
Join Uma Dinsmore-Tuli PhD on the Atlantic coast of the West of Ireland for this week-long nurturing retreat.

Maximum group size 18

Who is Welcome?

Everybody is welcome. The retreat is open to anybody who is interested in experiencing Total Yoga Nidra deep relaxation with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, PhD. Teachers and facilitators who hold space for others are especially warmly invited to come and restore their creativity!

The retreat is open to complete beginners, as well as regular yoga practitioners, to yoga teachers and to anybody who would enjoy a week of gentle, intelligent, individually tailored therapeutic yoga and lots of nurturing Total Yoga Nidra relaxation, as well as daily guided outings into the Burren hills and by the sea, amazing vegetarian food, and luxurious accommodation in the new state of the art Burren Yoga Retreat.

What to Expect?

There will be daily sessions of yoga, yoga nidra (the yoga of sleep) breath and meditation for all levels, special time for creative reflections (bring your notebooks, journals and colours). At the end of each day you will have the option to join a special night time yoga nidra before bed to nourish dream and intuitive insight (in your pyjamas if you like!).
Plus you’ll have the chance to join optional extra daily morning sessions to cultivate creative dream recall through meditation and yoga nidrā: bring your dream journals!
Uma teaches her own fluid variation of hatha yoga during this retreat. These classes are suitable for complete beginners to advanced, and to all ages, and all levels of fitness.
There are optional early morning yoga classes from 7:30 am to 8:00 am. Or you can decide to join the class from 8:00 to 10:00 am.
This retreat has the flexibility for you to tune in to yourself, and you decide what is appropriate for you each day. Alongside all these daily delights, you will also benefit from Uma’s inspirational teaching and guidance throughout the week, and her presence with you at meals and breaks to answer questions and queries.

The Wonderful Venue & Surroundings

This is a special spacious magical land at the western edge of Ireland. The Burren Yoga Retreat is located at the foot of the Burren hills nestled amongst the hazel trees. Uma has been visiting this wonderful place and teaching and sharing here for nearly twenty-five years. It is a nourishing and powerful land.

You are surrounded with a vast choice of special places in the Burren where we go for hill walks, Nature Trail walks, walks by the sea, beautiful beaches and forests to explore. There are lovely places to swim in the sea or in the amazing nearby lake which heats up during the summer.

The Burren is only 2 ½ hours drive from Dublin. There is motorway all the way to Gort. Nearest train and bus station also in Gort. Gort is 6 miles from the centre. Nearest airport is Shannon, 45 minutes reduced fare taxi.

Certification Option

Those attending for the full week will be able to claim certification for the Total Yoga Nidra Creativity Immersion (a prerequisite for Total Yoga Nidra Teacher and Facilitator training). Access to the online learning materials for our standard Total Yoga Nidra Immersion will also be provided for those who wish to complete the certification option. Those who already have certification in yoga nidrā will find this intuitive, and deeply feminine approach provides a whole new perspective on yoga nidrā for creativity. We will be using Yoga Nidra Made Easy as a reference, and Uma will have copies for sale on the retreat.

Testimonials

I did the Total Yoga Nidra teacher training in 2015 with Uma and Nirlipta after completing the Immersion Experience, and the content of the course exceeded my expectations. Aside from whole experience being very nourishing with all the live nidras we practiced, I deeply appreciated the way the space was held for us by Uma and Nirlipta, the comprehensive approach that included the different schools of yoga nidra and the creativity that was invited and encouraged, all while clearly explaining and demonstrating the ethics of the practice."
Paula HinesAuthor of 'Rest and Calm'
I have completed the training twice now and the second time was even better! The benefit to my life has been huge, it’s been my staff in these extraordinary times we are living through. I am delivering more skillfully crafted yoga nidras to my groups and getting great feedback. The online weekly format fitted well around my family life.
Sarah HanksYoga teacher
Joining the (Yoni Shakti Teacher Training)course was the best decision I made and I cannot recommend it highly enough. My experience with traditional yoga was not sufficient enough to balance my emotions and meet my needs as a woman and mother. When I was introduced to Yoni Shakti Yoga, it was a revelation and I felt validated and supported. Uma is very skilled at applying traditional Indian yoga and applying it to the modern woman. The online learning experience was very positive. I have a deep gratitude to Uma and everyone else who organised the course.
