accommodation, food and tuition (unless otherwise specified, see below the
section on donations), but does not include transport to / from the
island (return ferry is 15 euros, discounted rate on some courses).
Single room supplement (subject to availability) is 20 euros/ £ 12 per

a 15 minute cycle--we will lend you a bicycle) and will, of course, still have
all your meals in the centre.
We wish to open our courses to as many people as possible
and can offer a discount on most of the week long courses in exchange for some
work, See below.

Donations
On some
courses, the price includes only accommodation and food. The teachers, rather
than charging a fixed teaching fee, choose to rely instead on the honorary
donation system. This is because in a world where it is presumed that
everything must have a price, they feel that some forms of learning cannot be
measured solely in money terms. However, in order to continue running
courses in the future in the same spirit, we need to make sure that
participants understand that what is being offered is not just a 'cheap' option.
Except in exceptional circumstances, the donation should be proportionate to
the amount of teaching hours on the course, and related to the normal price
of a yoga class (in
Donations are to be paid in cash, directly to the teacher, at the end of the
course. Make sure you bring an adequate amount of cash as there are no
ATMs and no bank on Clare Island, and most teachers cannot accept cheques or
credit cards.
Discount on summer courses
We wish to open our courses to as many people as possible. If you want to come for a particular course, but because of financial considerations, cannot afford to, please . If you are willing and able to work in the kitchen, house or garden for a few hours a day, we can usually offer you a discount. However, we can only take a maximum of two people per course on this work exchange basis, so it is best to get in touch with us as soon as possible. Also note that with this option, you may not have much time to explore the island in the afternoons. Discount for karma yoga is normally 20 euros / day (this may be negotiable, depending on what course is taking place and how much work you are prepared to do).
