    Perfect start to 2020!
    I've been to Carlingford Yoga for 2 weekend retreats and a one day retreat and I'll be back for more. I can honestly say this place is excellent, in every way. Even if you have no experience of yoga, Martina puts you at ease and explains everything so well. The purpose built yoga studio looks over the green fields of Co.Louth (if your lucky there are sheep in the fields). Stuart is a hoot and keeps you entertained during the walks. The food is lovingly prepared and cooked, is super healthy and extremely tasty. The accommodation is fabulous and you don't want for anything during your stay. The retreats are suitable for couples, friends and solo people wanting to escape a day or few days away from the busyness of life. This is a family run yoga retreat that is well worth your time and investment. I don't live too far so am grateful to be able to attend weekly yoga sessions here. Thanks again to Martina and Stuart for your wonderful hospitality and amazing knowledge of Iyengar Yoga.
    Anne Marie thank you so so much for your kind words.. it means a lot. We put our hearts and souls into what we do and to hear that it is appreciated is the best reward. Keep up the good practice and see you soon! x

    Weekend retreat at Carlingford Yoga
    Thank you Martina and Stuart and all at Eagles Rock Retreat. My sister and I were seeking a break from the world after a difficult year and we got the opportunity to do just that here.Martina’s yoga classes were transformative. Some of us in the group were beginners and had never done a retreat like this,but I think I am safe to say,everyone got something from it.Martina is a brilliant teacher and I learnt skills from the yoga and meditation sessions that I am comfortable doing by myself and it is quickly becoming part of my daily life. The vegan food was delicious and it tasted amazing and especially good after a wild hike across the hills. If you are looking for down time in the perfect secluded location with terrific yoga and food for the soul, you will find it here. I will be back
    So encouraging that you are continuing with the practice after your visit. Really appreciate your generous review. Would welcome you gals back any time and so happy you got the break you needed.

Nothing short of amazing! Experienced a beautiful weekend of yoga tucked away in the scenic and peaceful cooley mountains. Fabulous food and walks with yoga expertly guided by Martina. The warmth of hospitality from Stuart and Martina in their beautiful home made for an idyllic weekend.

I went solo on a long weekend retreat and it was a fantastic experience in every respect. I was concerned I wouldn't be flexible enough but Martina's style is able to accommodate all levels while still challenging us and giving us very precise and useful feedback. She knows the poses inside and out and I learned more over the weekend than in years of other classes.

The other parts of the experience, the idyllic setting, the walks in nature, the food, the space to unwind and read or chat with other lovely guests and the adorable Rusty the cat, were also wonderful. Martina and Stuart are fabulous and warm hosts and are committed to creating a relaxing and nourishing experience for everyone.

I came back as switched off as if I had taken a month off.

A beautiful setting in a peaceful place. A warm welcome from Stuart and Martina. Delicious vegan food. Excellent yoga instruction, hill walking and a gentle introduction to Qigong.
A great way to spend a long weekend with like minded people.
It was a great experience.

A scenic, peaceful oasis in the Cooley mountains sits Eagle Rock Yoga retreat where we spent a yoga day retreat recently. The warm welcome of tea in Stuart and Martina’s home set the tone for the rest of the day. Martina is an excellent yoga teacher and morning and afternoon sessions were amazing. Lunch was superb, tasty, healthy and fresh. The quinoa tart was wow! A walk with Stuart sharing his knowledge on the area was perfect, despite the rain. A restorative yoga session with Martina was very good and again she shared her knowledge of the benefits of Iyengar yoga. We left feeling wonderful and full of all the things we shared today. Thanks Martina and Stuart and you lovely son.

I've just returned from the Win Hof retreat and it was one of the best experiences I've had in such a long time. I booked it as a solo trip and I was initially worried about spending a weekend with strangers. Straight away my worries disappeared as they were the best bunch of people. We all had such a great time together. Stuart and Martina are amazing hosts and they made everyone feel part of their family. It's worth going there for the food alone! The food was all vegan and it was absolutely beautiful. The bedrooms were very comfortable and spacious. Everything is so clean. They have a beautiful yoga studio and Martina is an amazing yoga teacher. Stuart brought us on some really enjoyable hikes and told us some of the interesting history and folklore of the area. John delivered a fantastic workshop on the Wim Hof Method. I'd highly recommend him, he has a great way of teaching the method. All in all, this is a fantastic place and I will definitely be back. As I said in the title, it truly was a life changing experience. I went there for some therapy and rest and the experience exceeded way beyond my expectations. This place is a hidden gem and I'm so glad I've experienced it.

Had the pleasure of spending a weekend Wim Hoff and Yoga Retreat at Eagles Rock and it was the best two days (not long enough). Stuart and Martina did a wonderful job welcoming us to their home, teaching us yoga, bringing us on hikes, swimming, conversing, and feeding us all a delicious assortment of vegan food all weekend. John was our Wim Hoff instructor and this made it a unique and exhilarating experience. Martina and Stuart were so warm and went the extra mile by providing the hikes and swims that made it extra special. John's coaching us through the Wim Hoff method was easy to learn and the ice bath was quite special. The entire weekend exceeded my expectations and I cannot recommend this retreat enough. It was a wonderful and magical place and I cannot wait to go back. I have learned so much and the food was to die for. Thanks again and hope to see you soon. Lynn

Had the privilege of doing a women’s healing yoga retreat with the amazing, kind and all things wonderful Sharon Ni Chuillibin. Simply put it was a fantastic, invigorating and relaxing weekend of mediation, yoga, creativity, gorgeous live music, delicious food and lovely people.

A beginner myself, Sharon’s introduced loads of different calming healing and creative exercises. Unlike other yoga teachers, (in many of my personal experiences)…she met me exactly where I was, guided and encouraged me and our group. She gave me loads of tools to get started on my mindful journey. It was a privilege to hear Sharon perform many different instruments. Her voice is so so beautiful. She is the real deal, is so knowledgeable and created classes and an environment that felt so safe, welcoming and inspiring.

Set in the most GORGEOUS location Carlingford Yoga Retreat is the perfect medicine for a mom of 3 and primary school teacher. The scenery from the house and yoga studio is just breath taking. The accommodation is so cozy and the food….. THE FOOD IS TO DIE FOR… DELICIOUS …don’t get me started on the vegan desserts. As I hopped on the bus back to Dublin, I found myself on the Carlingford Yoga retreat website ….planning my next retreat! This place is all types of awesome !

An amazing way to spend a Sunday! Eagles Rock Retreat had been recommended to me by a friend, but even though she raved about it, I still didn't expect it to live up to such high expectations....

Eagles Rock was all of the hype and more!

Two hours of Yoga in the morning, followed by a delicious Vegan lunch - a brisk hike up the nearby mountain with a well earned cuppa and Vegan cake... and then two more hours of Yoga before we left Carlingford, tired and happy!

I had a long hot bath and drank plenty of water last night - and today I feel like a million dollars! I'm not still or store and that was literally my first time to do Yoga. I took the plastic off my mat in the car on the way to Carlingford...

I would highly recommend this full day retreat - Stuart and Martina literally could not have done more to make us all feel very welcome.
