This tried and tested destination has long been one of our favourites here at The Radiant Hand, with wonderful swimming and diving along the beautiful beaches of Dahab, as well as great food and welcoming atmosphere of the local people and dinner in the desert beneath the stars.

The Radiant Hand Weekend Shakti Retreat with Geraldine Grey.
This womens only retreat lead by our sensitive and experienced yoga teacher Geraldine will take place in the beautiful county of Galway, Ireland.
A remarkable county with a truly unique atmosphere, Galway in the West of Ireland. Dramatic, haunting and utterly wild, the craggy countryside at times looks unforgiving, at times rich with bursts of colour and dotted with tranquil, picture perfect lakes.On top of all this, check out the great beaches, soaring mountains, lovely villages, fabulous pubs, a truly authentic cultural heritage and some of the friendliest people in Ireland.
With her extensive anatomical knowledge as a physiotherapist and yoga teacher, Geraldine’s focus on alignment, sensitivity and gentle encouragement helps each student to heal their bodies, rebalance, reenergise and reach their potential. By the end of the weekend you will have grown in confidence, being and grace.
Yoga will consist of 2 sessions a day (morning and evening) to give you time in the day for walks, check out the local artists, or go to the local weekend market, have a sit down at a traditional Irish ‘sessuin’ and have a half of Guinness, and maybe one of the evenings have dance at a ceilis, and one day off to visit the Aran Islands.

The Radiant Hand Retreat in Tulum, Mexico
We are pleased to present an exclusive 2 week yoga retreat in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Situated on the Mayan Riviera, Tulum has miles of enchanting clear, turquoise coastline framed by powdery white beaches in unspoilt surroundings.
Our resort is situated on its own private beach and is one of the few properties that offer guests 24-hour electricity, which is generated by wind turbines. Even the water used on the resort is sourced naturally.
Yoga sessions will take place twice daily, morning and evening. Taken by Stephan Coburg E-RYT500 who will take you on a journey of asanas and other spiritual and enlightening practices.
The Yucatan Peninsula is rich in archaeological sites left behind by the great civilisations of the Maya, Aztec and other pre-Colombian civilisations. Ancient sites like Coba, Tulum and Chitchen Itza are easily accessible and tours can be arranged during your stay.
There is also the opportunity to visit a variety of sacred pools or cenotes either to swim, snorkel or even scuba dive. If you prefer to dive in the sea then the reefs in Playa del Carmen should delight. Other activities include swimming with dolphins in the sea, try a traditional sauna called a ‘tamaskal’ and spas offering treatments derived from ancient recipes and food lovers will delight in all the various types of food on offer.

Urban Day Retreats
The Urban Day Retreat™ is a holistic day retreat, held in London created and organised by The Radiant Hand, which takes place several times a year at different venues in London.
Its aims are to take all who come, on a journey of relaxation, creativity and inspiration. The UDR showcases different instructors and different styles of healing arts from yoga, tai chi, and chi gong, giving you a glimpse on many aspects of spirituality, healing and other tools of empowerment for you to explore.
The Urban Day Retreat is a day for you to forget about the stress and worries from the daily grind and helps you to refocus, relax and unwind.
The UDR offers a variety of workshops from the high calibre teachers that we ask to come and teach on the day, who help us to explore our yoga/tai-chi/chi-gong/healing/spirituality deeper, helping all students to create deeper insights and healing for themselves.
We know that many people are becoming more and more aware of the benefits of ancient philosophies and practices. One of the aims at The Radiant Hand is to create an awareness, of some of the ancient arts and knowledge, and what benefits (mental, physical and/or spiritual) using or practising them can achieve for oneself.
The UDR is open to everyone, regardless of your experience. We have had complete novices, who have never practised yoga or any of the healing arts, come to the retreat and after the day, have been inspired to find a practice for themselves. It is a wonderful day of healing for everyone!
Come and be inspired!
The next UDR will be held on the 11th December 2010
