About The Retreat
This August, join us for a 3 nights hiking yoga retreat over the August Bank Holiday weekend from Friday to August Bank holiday Monday. Stay in a family-owned multi-property estate that dates back to 1176, it was initially a farm serving the local monastery. Since then, it has had stunning renovations to create a beautiful retreat space. Why not stay in one of the main barns? Or maybe, try out a quirky converted wheat silo? Either way, you will enjoy lots of space and room options. Of course, get your hiking boots ready to enjoy a guided hike with qualified guides on Saturday and then enjoy relaxing or walking into Hay-on-Wye or try canoeing down the river Wye or horse riding on Sunday. Want to fully relax? Relax in the beautiful grounds and read a good book, or journal, or enjoy a massage from our talented team. This escape will leave you feeling energised and revitalised. With up to 3.5 hours of yoga a day, delicious vegan food from one of our fabulous chefs and gorgeous accommodation you will feel cared for throughout

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to attend all the Yoga sessions?
Of course not, we understand we all want different things. Our two-hour sessions normally also include meditation or mindfulness, so it’s worth giving it a go.
I haven’t done much yoga before, can I come?
We have designed our weekends and weeks for people who love yoga, whether they are beginners or have been practising for years. All our teachers are very experienced and are more than capable of adapting the classes to all levels. Our ethos is about being open & friendly, and we set up our business to spread the incredible word of yoga to people who perhaps wouldn’t have gone on a yoga retreat before. So don’t be shy, there is no time like the present to start your journey with yoga.
When do I need to arrive/ leave?
On our August hiking yoga retreat in the Brecon Beacons, for the weekend guests are advised to arrive between 4 pm and 5.30 pm on Friday. This allows time to settle in before the first yoga class at 6 pm. Dinner will be served at 8.00 pm. The retreat will end at 11am on Monday after a power hour yoga class and brunch.
