For our Ireland Yoga and Hiking Adventure, we’ll fly into Dublin and travel west across the Emerald Isle to our retreat center, which is located along the Wild Atlantic Way. Nestled in an area of outstanding natural beauty in the heart of the Delphi Valley, Delphi Resort is a hidden gem immersed within the wilderness of Connemara and South Mayo. Breathtaking mountain vistas provide a dramatic backdrop to the 4-star resort, which overlooks the banks of the Bundorragha River.
Led by Sharada Devi (Jennifer Lenhart), in this beautiful and remote Irish setting you’ll enjoy invigorating morning time and relaxing evening time Jivamukti Yoga asana sessions along with meditation, walking meditation, chanting and mantra, and discussions about yoga philosophy. We will enjoy a compassionate diet of nourishing plant-based meals. All retreat activities will be a la carte, meaning that you can customize your retreat experience by choosing your level of participation.
Included with your tuition is a full-day local Connemara tour, including time at Kylemore Abbey, which is led by a highly recommended local guide. We will also have the option of an outing to a local pub for a music night. During free time you might choose to relax with treatments at the onsite spa or you might take advantage of the many outdoor adventure options offered by the resort (they have an outdoor activity center with over 20 land/water activities offered). There are ample hiking trails on the property or enjoy hiking the nearby mountains. The resort is located in a mountainous region of unspoiled natural beauty, and there is a wide range of nearby places to explore whether walking, cycling, or driving. Delphi Resort is the perfect base for those wishing to get back to nature and actively explore the great outdoors or for those simply looking to unwind and relax in one of the most scenic locations on the west coast of Ireland.

Jennifer Lenhart
Satsang Yoga Studio owner Sharada Devi (Jennifer Lenhart), a certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher and a Yoga Alliance E-RYT 500, stepped onto the yoga path in 1994 and began teaching in 2009. She is a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP); a certified Thai Yoga Massage practitioner; has led residential yoga and meditation retreats locally, nationally, and internationally; is a certified Y12SR (Yoga of 12-Step Recovery) Leader; and holds a Master’s Degree in English Literature.
She is also a student of Sanskrit, studying with Manorama. Sharada is a Bhakti yogi and a devotee of Neem Karoli Baba Maharaji, and thus chanting mantra and singing the Hanuman Chalisa are central to her practice. In her classes, expect to practice some devotional chanting, consider how the teachings of yoga can be applied to modern life, be asked to bring awareness to the breath, be encouraged to find optimal alignment in the asanas, and experience skillful hands-on assists. And probably enjoy some laughter, too.
Testimonials
“Jennifer helped me understand mindfulness when I started practicing yoga years ago. She is such a warm, wise, and loving woman, and she is an excellent yoga instructor. She lives a true yogi life. I completely trust and honor Jennifer.”
“Jennifer is a wonderful teacher who guides students through a slow engaging flow. She provides plenty of options for all levels, and her classes are welcoming to a beginner yet provide a challenge to an experienced yogi.”
“She teaches mindful awareness to the core and helps students to build core strength in any pose. She brings laughter to the practice and the joy of being human on our mats. I highlyrecommend Jennifer to people new to the mat, and long-time yogis as well.”

Travel Insurance
We cannot emphasize more the importance of travel insurance. As we all know, especially as travelers, “life happens.” Whether it’s family, work, mother nature, or a change of heart, it is important to be prepared in case you need to unexpectedly change your travel plans. Often for less than $150, you can purchase a travel insurance policy and be protected in the event that you need to make a change or need to be covered financially prior to or during your trip.
We have partnered with two insurance companies: Trawick International and CSA Travel Insurance (available for U.S. Residents only).
Read more about our insurance partners and their policies here. We encourage you to research the insurance company and policy that best meets your needs.
