Spring Escape to Park Hotel Kenmare

The Venue

At the end of the winding, flower-studded drive and past the twisting iron lamppost is Park Hotel Kenmare. A meeting point between the land and the sea, our hotel rests on the rich soil of Kerry, a potent land that feeds the spirit of who we are. With a spectacular team that offers the best of Irish hospitality, a seasonally driven kitchen that transforms the local harvest into something magnificent, a ground breaking collection of poignant and internationally reclaimed art, and an ever-present feeling of warmth and openness, Park Hotel Kenmare offers a new kind of destination.

Yoga Mara will be offering various styles of yoga and mindfulness practice throughout your Escape. The benefits of practicing different styles of yoga at different times of the day are proven to help with boosting energy levels, aid healthy sleep, and enable complete relaxation and revitalization of the body and mind. 

Yoga Mara will also be providing guided meditations and breath-work practices throughout your stay. The benefits of practicing meditation and breathing techniques are endless and we will use this time to make sure you are connecting with your mindfulness practice. 

There will be something for everyone!

Benefits of meditation and mindfulness practice include lower levels of stress, reducing asthmatic episodes, physical pain, insomnia, episodic anger, negative or irrational thinking, and anxiety, as well as improving coping skills, focus, and a general feeling of well-being.

Some of the yoga styles we will be practicing together are:

Vinyasa Flow Yoga

Vinyasa is a style of yoga characterized by stringing postures together so that you move from one to another, seamlessly, using breath. Commonly referred to as “flow” yoga, Vinyasa classes offer a variety of postures and no two classes are ever alike. The variable nature of Vinyasa Yoga helps to develop a more balanced body as well as prevent repetitive motion injuries that can happen if you are always doing the same thing every day.

Yin Yoga

Poses apply moderate stress to the connective tissues of the body—the tendons, fascia, and ligaments—with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. A more meditative approach to yoga, its goals are awareness of inner silence, and bringing to light a universal, interconnecting quality.

Yoga Nidra

(or Yogic Sleep) is a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping, like the “going-to-sleep” stage, typically induced by a guided meditation. There is evidence that yoga nidra helps to relieve stress and is among the deepest possible states of relaxation while still maintaining full consciousness.
