This retreat will be co-hosted by  Carlingford Yoga and John McKeown.

John McKeown is an advanced Wim Hof instructor. John spent number of years researching ways to keep himself and his family healthy and in the process he discovered the Wim Hof method. He was fascinated by its effects from the start and in 2017 he traveled to Poland to train as a Wim Hof instructor with Wim himself. John has been teaching the method in Ireland passionately ever since then. John has recently completed his afvanced Wim Hof training.

Martina Durnin is an Intermediate level 3 Iyengar Yoga teacher. Martina started practicing

yoga in London in 1999 at the age of 24 and immediately knew that she found something she was going to do for the rest of her life. The effectiveness of the Iyengar Yoga method was mind-blowing to her from the very start. Martina was able to fix her rounded posture and correct her physical imbalances in a relatively short space of time through persistent practice. But it is the deeper psychological benefits of yoga that make her come back to the mat day after day. Martina qualified as an Iyengar Yoga teacher in 2004 and has been passionately sharing this method with others since then. Martina later graduated as a physical therapist to further deepen her knowledge of the body’s function and dysfunction. Martina is a co-founder of Carlingford Yoga and has been running residential retreats with her partner Stuart since 2012. She is devoted to the practice of yoga and continues to deepen her knowledge of every aspect of the practice with the most senior teachers the world has to offer.
