The go-to guide for yoga retreats in Wales
With sheep outnumbering people, it’s no surprise that yogis flock here from around the globe to unwind and work on their practice.
If you're interested in unravelling the many wonders of Wales on a yoga retreat, here's everything you need to know.
Where to go in Wales
From the serene scenery of Snowdonia to the otherworldly outcrops of the
Pembrokeshire coastline, Wales is home to some of the most breathtaking hideaways the British Isles has to offer.
While there are many idyllic places to visit, these destinations offer the ultimate yoga getaway in nature.
Pembrokeshire
Situated in the south-west of Wales, the seaside county boasts stunning beaches and coastal paths that attract tourists far and wide for a restful weekend beside the sea.
Powys
As Wales' largest county, Powys is brimming with opportunities to relax, recharge and simply breathe.
Renowned for its rugged mountains and rich forests, nature lovers can enjoy yoga classes in the great outdoors or admire Wales' natural beauty on a
hiking and trekking holiday.
The Isle of Anglesey
Located off the north-west coast of Wales, the
Isle of Anglesey is a spectacular little island filled with character and charm.
Defined by its rolling hills and unparalleled natural beauty, many yogis trek here to deepen their yoga and meditation practice or plunge into a gong bath at a soothing
wellness retreat.
The Isle of Anglesey is also a top pick for its scenic
wild swimming spots which are positively refreshing.
When to visit Wales
Wales is notorious for its rainy weather which pelts down in winter and well into spring, bringing life to verdant valleys and sprawling forests.
The best time of the year to visit Wales is when the seasons shift from
spring to
summer, between April and June.
During these warm and sprightly months, yogis and wellness seekers can make the most out of the great Welsh outdoors, practising sun salutations at the crack of dawn or meandering scenic coastal paths for hours.
That said, the country is just as beautiful in
autumn and
winter. Morning's are crisp and the forests are as fresh as ever.
So, if you love nature walks, sweaty
fitness sessions or freezing wild swimming dips, then September to February is a great time to visit Wales.
What to do in Wales
While there are many famous wellness and yoga holiday destinations around the world, few are as relaxing and energising as Wales.
From sprawling national parks to mediaeval castles steeped in history, there is plenty to uncover on your journey here. Some top activities include:
- Go wild swimming in Snowdonia National Park
- Visit Conwy Castle
- Wander Pembrokeshire National Park
- Lap down sweet Welsh cakes
- Soak up the sun at the beautiful Barafundle Bay
