Live, in-person programs in Ireland this summer:
The Gathering, 29-31 July, a Yoga Retreat Festival, at Burtown House and Gardens, Co. Kildare, Ireland Kirtan,Yoga and Philosophy weekend retreat 5th-7th August at Carlingford Yoga, Eagles Rock Retreat Centre. I have missed facilitating immersive in-person explorations, and being part of celebratory gatherings and am very much looking forward to sharing in Ireland Like some of the festivals I have presented at in the US - I am thinking especially of the Ojai Yoga Crib - the Gathering is very much a heart-centred offering. The facilitators are all people whose work the organisers have experienced directly and loved. I will be sharing talks, kirtan, a Sanskrit and chanting workshop and on the Sunday, a rounded morning practice to greet the day. And otherwise I will be enjoying as much of the other amazing offerings as possible!

The following weekend, at Carlingord Yoga, Eagles Rock retreat centre, the aim will be to empower participants with resources, insights and understandings to take home and make your own, integrating them into life and practice. We will sing, we will explore yogic movement, principles of yogāsana, and practical yoga philosophy. We will enjoy home cooked food and time outside in nature. Spaces are limited, we'll be a group of 12-16 people.

James Boag Yoga

Yoga is balance, integration, skilfulness and efficiency. Yoga practice is about cultivating sustainable harmony.
Yoga is about the whole of our lives: everything we do, all we experience. It is about stretching our understanding of who we really are, strengthening our connection to the innate wisdom of our conscience and rehabilitating our broader human capacities while working respectfully with the realities of our individual natures and our diverse responsibilities.
Yoga practice is about training ourselves to be able to find joy in the everyday wonder of life and steadiness in the face of its inevitable challenges.
It is about meeting and refining our own patterns and habits and inviting ways of being that are conducive to sustainable, integrated health and wellbeing.
James works with a range of mutually complementary lenses to explore yoga principles in practical application, including: principle-based asana, natural movement, meditation, kirtan singing and chanting, storytelling and interpretation, satsang talks, discussion and inquiry, nourishing high quality food and time outdoors.
