Macalla Farm, Clare Island

Macalla Farm, Clare Island Retreat centre specialising in yoga, mindfulness, vegetarian cookery, natural horsemanship We cut some of our firewood from our woodland and tree plantations.

Macalla Farm is a 240 acres holding located on Clare Island, off the Mayo coast of Ireland. We offer courses in yoga, meditation, mindful eating, vegetarian cooking, natural horsemanship and natural hoof care with resident and visiting teachers. The land is mostly mountain land grazed by a flock of sheep and a small herd of horses, but there's also a 10 acre native woodland, orchards, gardens and

two polytunnels. The horses, mostly Connemara ponies, are used for riding, driving, horsemanship courses and for various jobs on the farm. They are kept and trained as naturally as possible, live out all year, and are ridden and worked without shoes or bits. We aim to be as self sufficeint as possible, and grow all our vegetables and some of our fruit organically in our garden and polytunnels. We also have a small flock of milking sheep, and in the spring and summer, make yogurt and cheese from their milk.

We are delighted to offer our 2026 Sati Yoga Courses.

There are several 3 day bank holiday retreats, 6 day intensive retreats and we are welcoming back in June for a lovely retreat over the Summer Solstice.

Rooted in classical Hatha yoga and the wisdom of early Buddhist philosophy, our practice goes deeper. Sati - the pali word for mindfulness, guides the breath, movement and stillness.

Our studio is set within our working organic farm off the west coast of Ireland. Our courses nourish mind, body and soul within an environment that is grounded deeply in the natural elements of the land and sea.

We hope to see you in 2026. Book early as classes tend to fill.
