If you’re in need of a rejuvenating break then take a few days away for yoga, relaxation and walking through some of the world’s most beautiful scenery - the landscape of North Wales.

If you’re in need of a rejuvenating break then take a few days away to walk through some of the world’s most beautiful scenery—the landscape of North Wales. 

This yoga holiday will include mornings of Dru Yoga and Dru Meditation, followed by a delicious lunch, then afternoon guided walks in the beautiful Snowdonia National Park or along the coastal paths of Anglesey.

The walks will be around 4 hours long, including breaks, and will take you to hills, forests, waterfalls and lakes.  You’ll also enjoy de-stressing relaxation sessions and optional therapies to help you to relax and re-charge.

This holiday is from Friday evening until Monday lunchtime and is suitable for people of good fitness levels. For overseas guests it’s an ideal introduction to the beauty of North Wales.

The teaching sessions and accommodation for this retreat will be held both in Snowdonia Mountain Lodge and Yr Ocar, our beautiful riverside house near the centre. We'll send you more information on this when you book, or call us for more details.

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?

Our catering gets rave reviews from our course participants. It’s delicious vegetarian cuisine, tasty and healthy, and complements the courses perfectly. We also cater for vegan and other special diets, such as gluten-free etc. Let us know when you book.

What are the rooms like?

We received a certificate of excellence this year from Tripadvisor for our accommodation. Snowdonia Mountain Lodge has 21 bedrooms, with a selection of double, twin bedded and family rooms. Recently refurbished, all rooms are ground floor and ensuite. Towels, linen, hairdryers and tea/coffee making facilities are included in the rooms.

Where can I buy my yoga accessories?

We have an excellent yoga shop in the reception area, packed with healthy snacks, health products, gifts, books, yoga and meditation accessories. The reception area also provides the perfect environment to browse, relax, enjoy refreshments and socialise.
