Yoga retreats with Paddy Mc Grath

Paddy McGrath
Paddy teaches with passion her ever evolving quest to "unbutton the spine" so it can dance. Using backbends and other classic yoga postures coming from her long term practice under the guidance of yogacharya Venkatesh, Mysore, India and from her Iyengar background, as well as a less conventional but very deep approach, drawing from her more recent studies under Diane Long and John Stirk (UK); she aims to inspire students to develop their own self practice.
Paddy has been based in Sri Lanka since 1989. She teaches yoga workshops and intensive retreats throughout Asia. Once a year, she comes to Europe to teach a schedule of intensive retreats and workshops.

The retreats

The retreats are very intensive and therefore quite short.  They include two intensive asana classes / day as well as early pranayama, and are for serious yoga-students with at least one year’s experience of yoga.
Please note there are often other  short  local courses that Paddy teaches in Sri Lanka, Australia and Thailand  that do not appear on the web page  you can contact paddy direct  if you are in  these countries   .
