Take a week in this wonderful Listed Building which is one of the finest houses in the Brecon Beacons National Park. The house lies in extensive parkland. This is an idyllic setting on the banks of the River Usk. Bedrooms are in charming twins and singles with shared bathrooms. The accommodation is of a very high standard. There are stairs to the bedrooms therefore disabilities would find this venue difficult.
This is a Yoga retreat not a holiday. We will start at on Friday evening with an introduction to get to know each other and find out what we need from the retreat. First asana session will be at 6.30am with a meditation walk before breakfast. We will do an hour of Karam Yoga in silence before the next asana session at 11.00am. We do get a cup of tea first. A wonderful vegetarian lunch then follows with an afternoon rest before our next session at 3.30pm. The evening meal is at 6.00pm and our final session is at 7.30pm before bed. We repeat this each day until Wednesday when at 2.00pm we will have our leaving session.
