Yoga & Meditation Summer Retreat in Snowdonia

 Registration is closed for this event
Join the Dru team for a face-to-face summer retreat in some of the world’s most beautiful scenery - the landscape of Snowdonia-Eryri.

Connection - Evolution - Nurture

It’s time to connect with your yoga and meditation tribe in the mountains of Snowdonia (Eryri). Come and bathe your mind in the fresh air of lakes and valleys, re-discover the strength of your soul in nature. Meditate under the stars with a sacred fire, re-energise your yoga practice and celebrate with sound and mantra sessions.

This 4-day adventure will help you reconnect to your inner power and compassion, through new Dru sequences, Meditations in nature, kirtan and relaxation sessions, in the beautiful venue of Plas y Brenin which overlooks Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa). 

  • Connect with friends old and new and refocus on your goals
  • Find peace of mind as you spend time in the mountains

Join us at our next retreat and leave feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to take on the world again! 

 

If you are a member of the Dru Professional Network you will be able to accrue 18 CPD hours for attendance at this retreat. Attendees from other yoga schools will need to check individually for their own CPD credits.

I’m a yoga beginner... Is that OK?

Absolutely yes! All of the retreats in this brochure are suitable for beginners as well as for experienced yoga and meditation practitioners.

I’m not flexible. Can I do Dru Yoga?

Dru is for everyone and you’ll be surprised how quickly your body becomes more flexible when you practise regularly. Always listen to your body and don’t overstretch or strain.

I've been to this retreat before - will I benefit by coming again?

Absolutely!!! We carefully craft our timetable to match the needs of the people, the time of the year and - of course - our own delight in exploring yoga and walking's many frontiers. So, most of the time you'll be learning new techniques from one retreat to another and even when we do repeat a technique you'll discover it in a whole new depth.

What about therapies & mentoring?

From ayurvedic Abhyanga full body massage to foot reflexology—when you enjoy a therapy on one of our retreats, that’s when you really feel the true benefits of the whole Dru experience. You can also book a personal mentoring with one of our expert tutors on topics such as chakra analysis, vedic astrology and much more.

What’s the food like?

Packed lunch on the retreat will have veggie and vegan options.  Please discuss other dietary requirements with your chosen accommodation.

Beautiful, ancient forests and mountains rise on either side. Teaching sessions are held in the centre's various conference spaces. 

 

Easily accessible by rail and road, Plas-y-Brenin is on the A5 (the historic main route from London to Ireland), 17 miles from Bangor and 3 ½ hours' train ride from London. Taxi from the train station is likely to cost in the order of £35.
