A Beautiful Early Spring Retreat!
This retreat will restore and rejuvenate your body and mind as we step into the new season.
As we leave behind the harshness of winter, early March brings the first signs of spring. It’s an inspiring time to practice yoga and draw meaning and support from nature’s gentle cues — helping us move from winter’s hibernation towards feeling lighter, brighter, and re-energised. This is the real New Year.
We’ll embrace the shift in seasons through gentle, creative, and mindful practices designed to guide you into this new chapter with clarity and intention. You’ll also enjoy a deeply cleansing, rejuvenating session in the local sauna by the beautiful waters of Llyn Padarn.
Nourishing meals will delight your senses as we invite you to replenish yourself from the inside out.
