Blue Sky Yoga Retreats in Wales in 2020 - Cancelled due to Coronavirus
I've been running healing yoga and kirtan retreats in the stunning Welsh countryside since 2013. Blue Sky Yoga retreats offer a range of hatha yoga, mindfulness and mantra practices and plenty of time to simply be. Everyone is welcome, whether you are completely new to yoga or have been practicing for years. Each retreat includes 8 hours of sessions, including meditation, chanting and yoga nidra. You can participate in every session or take quiet time to rest in the beauty of nature.

Embracing the Wild Mother - Women's Yoga Retreat in Ceredigion
Friday 5th - Sunday 7th June 2020
For the fifth year running, we will devote our summer retreat to an exploration of the Divine Feminine. An enriching weekend of kirtan chanting, hatha yoga, yoga nidra and fire ceremony to deepen our connection with Mother Nature. This retreat is an opportunity for women to rest in the healing energy of the forest and reconnect with the innate cyclical feminine nature. Our connection with Mother Nature, the great wild Mother, is what keeps us grounded and sustained through life's ups and downs. If you are feeling the need to re-establish some vital self-care rituals and to heal from the busyness of life, this is the retreat for you.
Prices range from £250 for camping to £350 for the deluxe cabin (single occupancy). A non-refundable 50% deposit will secure your space. Please note that this retreat has sold out quickly every year, so do book soon if you are keen to join us!

"What a fantastic weekend I had in Felinganol. I cannot thank you enough it was just perfect. The combination of the venue, your fantastic teachings and a really special group of ladies made it a thoroughly magical time. I have come back more grounded and happy than ever before and with a real reassurance of the joy in everything despite difficult times. Gratitude from the bottom of my heart for creating such a life changing experience."

"Last weekend's yoga and meditation retreat on the chakras in the Elan Valley was sublime. Peaceful practices, friendly company, out-of-this-world food, thoughtful practicals, efficient organisation, sunny weather. What's not to like? I came home feeling renewed. Thank you, Louise."

“The retreat is so much more than yoga practices, it is a truly spiritual experience.”
Donna, Leap of Faith Retreat, Elan Valley 2013
"Thank you so much for such a fantastic weekend - I loved every moment and just didn't want it to end. I've never felt so relaxed and can still feel the benefits now and I can't believe how much I enjoyed chanting. It was a joy to meet so many lovely people too - it really was just perfect - thank you for making everything so special for us."
Allison, Leap of Faith Retreat, Elan Valley 2013
"The weekend retreat felt so relaxed and really well organized. A great place to step back from life and see a bigger picture before embracing once again. The setting was fantastic and an adventure in itself. Fantastic hostess, at ease with sharing experiences and listening to others. A real gift."
Lizzie, Embracing Change Retreat, Elan Valley 2013
"We floated home on a cloud of joy and energy, thanks to the wonderful weekend we enjoyed with everyone. Thank you for making us so welcome. The whole experience was well put together and co-ordinated. As we said, we had looked forward to, and talked about, this retreat for weeks leading up to it. Not only did it meet our high expectations, it managed to exceed them."
