"This retreat in north Wales was magical - a perfect balance of yoga, beautiful nature, hiking, delicious food, good company and rest. I was a bit apprehensive not having tried yoga before but Siôn and the group put me very at ease. I left feeling refreshed and grounded and that sense has stayed with me. Thank you!"
Pippa Grenfell (November 2025)
Had the most incredible yoga retreat in North Wales with a wonderful group!
Siôn created a lovely environment and led the most peaceful yoga & meditation sessions, and even taught me how to headstand! Mandy cooked us the most delicious, home-cooked, whole food meals, including the most amazing sweet treats! The venue was beautiful, cosy on an evening and a stunning outside area for us to relax in the sun. We also went on a hike to Cwm Idwal, where we went swimming and got some amazing views! And a trip to the quarry, where we had lunch by the waterfall. We also had a massage from Tiger, who gave me the best massage I’ve ever received - definitely recommend the holistic massageThis was my first ever yoga trip, I came solo, and I felt so comfortable, everyone made me feel so welcomed, the trip was so well organised, it was amazing to not have to think about anything, so you can fully relax. I can’t wait to join another trip! Thanks for an incredible weekend.
