Escape to the heart of the Welsh countryside this July for a weekend of slow living, wild beauty, and deep rest. Surrounded by rolling green hills, ancient woodland, and meadows alive with wildflowers, this summer retreat is a chance to pause, breathe, and enjoy a few unhurried days in nature.

About the retreat
Our home for the weekend sits hidden among rolling green hills, tranquil woodlands, and meadows bursting with wildflowers. Wake to birdsong and sunlight spilling through the trees, then wander down to the river for a quiet moment by the water before morning yoga. Between practices, take time to explore the incredible surroundings, relax in the wood-fired sauna, or simply sink into the stillness of nature all around you.
Each day we’ll enjoy vibrant, seasonal meals — colourful, nourishing, and lovingly prepared — to refuel and restore. Evenings bring slower movement, gentle breathwork, and time to gather around wholesome food and good company as the day fades into golden light.
Whether you’re new to yoga or have been practicing for years, this retreat offers space to unwind and rediscover balance. Expect laughter, calm, and connection — with nature, with community, and with yourself.

Camping in The Meadow: Pitch up amongst the wild flowers and enjoy your own slice of the beautiful Welsh countryside.
Perfect pitches, nestled within our beautiful wild flower meadow next to River Vyrnwy.
A chance to bring your own tent or Campervan.
The tent pitches are spread along a large wildflower meadow, and the campervan pitches are in the field next to the wildflower meadow. Some under the shelter of our native oak trees next to the peaceful sound of the River Vyrnwy, and the others next to our working farm field which usually has our rare breed sheep roaming freely (along with their little lambs in springtime).
The site is as off-grid as they can be, so there is no electric hookup anywhere on site.
Shared Bathrooms and showers
You must bring your own accommodation, tent or campervan
