WHY WE CREATED THIS RETREAT
A Day to Unwind & Create
We designed this one-day North Wales retreat as a gentle pause before the festive rush. We know life gets busy as we build up to the holidays and how we often need to prioritise time for self. We want to share with you a simple rhythm of movement, creativity and nature at our luxury venue here in North Wales. It’s designed to be accessible, restorative and quietly inspiring. Take a deep breath with us, and unwind for a day.
UNIQUE YOGA RETREATS
This one-day retreat distils our 15 years of yoga and wellness expertise into a calm, seasonal reset. Set in North Wales with views to the Clwydian Range, the day blends gentle morning yoga and mindful making, crafting elegant origami Christmas decorations, with a nourishing lunch, an unhurried countryside walk.

I wanted to be able to commit uninterrupted time to practicing yoga, mixing with like minded people and enjoying delicious food.
