Restful Beginnings – A New Year Retreat
Join Claire Dunniece, Senior Yoga & Relaxation Teacher, for a deeply nurturing retreat to begin the new year with intention and ease.
This weekend is designed to restore mind–body balance and nourish you with Gentle and Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and delicious vegetarian food. Together, we will embrace the quiet energy of winter. Pausing after the hectic festive season to slow down, rest deeply, and plant seeds of clarity and intention for the year ahead.
Over the weekend, you will be fully cared for as you immerse yourself in breath, movement, and stillness. Each class is compassionately designed by Claire to be accessible to all and
tailor to the unique group of individuals attending. Whether you are brand new to yoga, have an existing injury, or are an experienced practitioner, you will leave feeling replenished, supported. This weekend of gentle nourishment will inspire you and remind you of simple practices to carry into daily life throughout 2026.
When not in class, you’ll have the freedom to enjoy the tranquil surroundings of Creacon, wander in nature, create in the art studio, treat yourself to a massage, or simply curl up with a book. The retreat space is both welcoming and communal, yet also offers plenty of room for silence, self-reflection, and time to be wholly with yourself.
This retreat is an invitation to begin the year not with urgency, but with softness. Allow yourself to rest, reflect, and set mindful intentions for the year ahead.
Retreat includes:
2-nights en-suite, deluxe accommodation.

6 Gourmet Meals
