Things to do

Upcoming retreats

Going on a retreat is special.  Taking time out to nourish and heal yourself is so important. We've created the retreat venue we would hope for; comfortable, peaceful, beautiful and well equipped. Take a look at the retreats we are hosting this coming year. We have some wonderful teachers leading inspiring retreats throughout the year.

Yogi Sanctuary’s Summer Rest & Reset Yoga Retreat

Teacher:  Stef Carnell of Yogi Sanctuary
Date: Friday 3rd – Monday 6th July 2026

A refuge from daily life.  Four days and three nights that will leave you feeling rested and your mind, body & soul re-set and re-energised.  Includes a wide variety of Yoga Classes, Yoga Nidra, Sound Healing and a range of activities.  Fully catered with delicious plant based food.

Fork & Bindi’s Autumn Retreat

Teachers:  Jaya Jaks & Marc Pasternack
Date:  Wednesday 2nd September to Sunday 6th September 2026

Step into a luxurious sanctuary of rest, renewal, and connection. Each morning begins with gentle pranayama, meditation, and uplifting yoga practices with Jaya to awaken energy, clarity, and presence.

In the afternoon sessions, unwind with deeply restorative yoga and/or Yoga Nidra, allowing the body to soften and the mind to settle into profound relaxation.  There will be a sound bath which offers a further opportunity to rest, restore, and reconnect.

Throughout your stay, enjoy beautifully prepared, wholesome cuisine created by the magnificent Marc, celebrating fresh seasonal ingredients and mindful nourishment.

Surrounded by tranquillity and held in a nurturing space, you’ll be invited to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and return home feeling restored, inspired, and deeply replenished.

Alex’s 3 Day Anahata Yoga Retreat

Teacher: Alex Mitchell
Date: Friday 11th – Monday 14th September 2026

Everything in your life begins with a single spark — an intention. That small, quiet decision you make today slowly shapes the person you become tomorrow. First, it shows up as a behaviour — a little action you repeat once or twice. Then it turns into a practice, something you consciously choose again and again.

With consistency, that practice evolves into a habit, a natural part of your daily rhythm. Over time, that habit becomes your second nature, something you do without force or struggle. Eventually, it becomes your identity — the truth of who you are, reflected in every thought, word, and action.

This is how transformation happens: not overnight, not in giant leaps, but in small, intentional steps that compound into a powerful inner shift. You don’t become better by wishing. You become better by aligning your intentions with your actions, your actions with your values, and your values with the life you want to live. Change doesn’t come from force; it comes from mindful awareness. You shape your identity by the choices you make in every single moment.

And it all starts with an intention. So, decide to join me, empower yourself and watch your entire life transform from the inside out.  On this three day Anahata Yoga retreat we explore how to develop our own daily Anahata yoga practice. Weaving Asana, Pranayama, Mantra, Mudra & Bandha into something life changing.

Anahata yoga is a flowing Hatha practice from Assam in the North of India. Also known as The Dance of Shiva and Shakti the intention is to encourage Shakti, the moon, to rise up to the embrace of Shiva, the sun. The metaphor of a lovers’ dance invokes the idea of a creative interplay between conscious awareness and divine energy. It reminds us to take a joyous, graceful, playful approach to achieving the state of union that is the ultimate goal of yoga.

Over the weekend we will be working with Anahata Asana Flows including:  The 5 Element Form, a morning practice;  Shiva’s Dance of Love, a flowing to stillness practice; The Dance of Shiva and Shakti, a balancing practice; The Dance of the 3 Warriors, an energising practice.

We will be working with Anahata Meditations including The Beggars Bowl, The Akasha Meditation and my favourite, The Anahata meditation.  We will be working with Pranayama, to enhance our experience of all of the above, our Asana practice, our Meditation practice and to feel into Prana. We will be exploring how to use and introduce Mantra and Jappa into our practice.

Weather allowing I’m planning a walking meditation to Ceibwr Bay to practice The 5 Element Form, the traditional morning practice of Anahatha Yoga.  Followed by swimming and snacks in the bay.  We will also be treated to one of Ash’s awesome sound baths. If you’ve never enjoyed a sound bath they are special on many levels… a celebration of the vibrational energy and healing power of sound.

I’ll be teaching a Restorative Class: Searching for Freedom which is the only class not from the Anahata tradition.  This is a class I’ve been teaching for a number of years now on special occasions here at Cwm Connell when I’m surrounded by props.  It’s one of my favourites and I find it particularly moving, powerful and life enhancing.

On Sunday there will be a walk to The Witch’s Cauldron with a picnic lunch so you have an opportunity to enjoy the fabulous Pembrokeshire Coast Path.

The weekend will be fully catered with Breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner with delicious vegan food – it’s going to be special..

The practices during the 3 night retreat include somatic yoga, qigong, gentle flow plus yin&restorative yoga. This retreat invites you to slow down, to immerse yourself in nature and the practices, good food and company.
After arriving and settling in our cottages on Friday, we head out on an exploration on local wildlife and nature on Saturday. It is seal pupping season so we will have a wildlife talk&walk from a local seal expert during this retreat. On Sunday, it’s time to relax and unwind whether it is in the on site minispa or a nearby beach. We will also go on a forest bathing session in the local woodland and mindfully gather items for our autumn circle back at the studio.
A wholesome retreat for those looking to rest and feel nourished whilst embracing the season and nature around us.
