Course Locations

Ayr, Glasgow area

We have chosen Ayr as our Scottish base for courses as it is so easy to get to and in the warmest part of Scotland!  It also is a very pretty location with miles of sandy beach and views of the isle of Arran.  Accommodation is cheaper and more plentiful here than it would be in a city and there are plenty of amenities and good restaurants.

Ayr has excellent road and rail links, lying just 40 minutes outside Glasgow.  It also is in the unique position of being within 45 minutes of two airports, flying all over the world.  Prestwick airport is adjacent to the town with a direct rail link to the centre of Ayr taking under 10 minutes.  Glasgow airport also has a rail link to Ayr which is linked to Glasgow airport by a 5 minute journey on a connecting bus or taxi and then train from Paisley Gilmour Street station directly to Ayr approximately every 30 minutes.  The journey time is about one hour from the airport to Ayr town centre. 

London

Our London venue is easily accessible from the underground and overground rail systems, with accommodation options and lots of lunch choices close by.

We provide massage tables for practice sessions and include refreshments for all participants.

Our Philosophy

Barral Institute UK aims to make Visceral Manipulation training accessible and affordable for practitioners in the UK.  For this reason we try and keep the classes as low in cost as possible, whilst still ensuring a high quality product. We also will try and start and end classes to allow travelling time so it minimises time away from home for those travelling a distance.  

 We aim to treat everyone fairly and as equals.  Therefore we hold no prejudices and value any suggestions, ideas or feedback you may wish to offer us.  If we can be of assistance in any way, please do contact us.
