Yoga and Walking Retreat
North Wales
april 2024
After the amazing success and positive feedback from our 2022 Wales retreats, we are returning…
Imagine doing your Sun Salutations on the cliff top
overlooking the sea, as the sun sets...
This holiday will include mornings and evening yoga, Qi-gong, deep relaxation and meditation sessions, and afternoon guided hikes through some of the most beautiful scenery in North Wales. A total immersion in nature, and self nurture. Fuelled by delicious, home-cooked vegetarian meals and ending the day with a relaxing evening session before tucking up in a warm cosy bed.
The location of the yoga retreat is in the picturesque village of Nant Gwrtheyrn, a truly stunning location. The Namt is nestled at the base of a very long steep slope under the mountain backdrop overlooking the dramatic sea and staggering cliffs. A private mile-long beach, a variety of unique yoga space, 5* cottage accommodation and magnificent coastal views, it is a truly magical location for the retreat.
This retreat is run by Amy and Cat, both experienced Dru yoga teachers. Amy is based in London and Cat is a North Wales local, the retreat runs from Monday mid-afternoon until after lunch on Thursday.
It’s an ideal introduction to the beauty of North Wales and the perfect way to re-introduce yourself to your wellbeing.
Interested? We would be very happy to have a 15 min zoom with you, to meet you properly and answer all your questions.

Last years retreaters said…
"There is not a single day that I don’t think about my week with you and smile”
“As someone who has never done yoga except a class or two at the gym, I truly enjoyed this retreat. Touching different aspects and styles of yoga, the week opened up a new world for me. Great food, walks in the hills and wild swimming with the whole group, made it a complete experience never to be forgotten.
Cat & Amy make you feel welcome from the first encounter and create such an atmosphere in the group that you feel you are at the right place at the right time.”

''The retreat was a perfect re-start after the lockdowns.
“Wow, what can I say, I came very excited but also quite nervous, having never done anything like this on my own! I needn't have worried as from the moment I walked into the room where we all met, I felt totally welcomed and peaceful. I was determined to throw myself into it all, even the early morning practices.....I don't do mornings! I loved every single second of it, even the sea swim! I met some fantastic people and have wonderful memories that will stay with me always. Thank you both so very, very much, you change people’s lives in what you do and that must be an amazing feeling.''
