Brecon Beacons Weekend Retreat from £450

Yoga
There will be twice daily yoga practices to help restore balance to all the systems of the body, promote deep relaxation and encourage the natural renewal processes. Energising morning sessions integrate mindful movement, therapeutic yoga interventions, myofacial release, simple breath work and guided relaxation to help release, stabilise, strengthen . These practices are about building awareness and connection to perhaps the most intelligent thing we have at our disposal - the intelligence housed within our own body. Evening sessions will delve into the contemplative practices of mindfulness, restorative yoga and guided relaxation to access our natural dimmer switch to relaxation and build resilience. There will also be a time set aside each day to join a group discussion. The practice of yoga is by its very nature a work in progress. As our practice experience evolves we become aware that yoga offers more than a state of physical well-being. It takes little more than this to ignite curiosity about the deeper possibilities of yoga. At our usual class we may not have the time to explore how these possibilities can be brought to light. On retreat we have the luxury of plenty time to discuss these together. 
Activities You won't get bored here there is so much to do! For anyone who enjoys walking, your biggest problem will be choosing where to go!Here are a few suggestions. Follow an original Roman road for a 4 mile walk over the Allt with panoramic views of Llangorse Lake, the Black Mountains, the Usk Valley and the Brecon Beacons. Pen-Y-Fan is the highest peak in the National Park. Take the 4 mile long walk to the summit for spectacular views. Take one of the National Park's well-maintained footpaths to above the village of Talybont, where the River Caerfanell drops through the mountains in a series of spectacular gorges and cascading waterfalls. Crickhowell, Hay-on-Wye, Brecon and Talgarth are all a short drive away. Spend an afternoon browsing the shops, cafes, bars or visit the working watermill in Talgarth or the Regimental Museum of the Royal Welsh Infantry in Brecon. Visit Raglan Castle, Llanathony Priory, Llangastay Church and Bird hide. Or if you need more activity theres also horse riding, canoeing, indoor climbing, fishing, golf and much more For further information about things to do in the local area see talljohns.house/house/local-area Click here for details of facials, massage and other treatments available during the retreat with Angela Cox of Health, Healing & Happiness. |
