Bhakti Yoga Retreats
Slow down, serve, and reconnect
Here, the pace is set by the Welsh countryside and the particular retreat you have come for. Bhakti Yoga Retreats is an eco-retreat centre inspired by the Vedic path of Bhakti Yoga, understood as loving service to the Divine. Its setting is deliberately rural, with quiet farmland and rolling hills around the centre and the nearest town at least 15 minutes away. The Main Hall and a separate yurt give groups two different spaces for workshops and retreat practice. The programme is not limited to one format: yoga and meditation retreats share the calendar with Workaway-style stays. One constant is the food, which is strictly vegetarian. That combination makes this a place to step out of town routines and spend time in a quieter, service-minded environment, while the exact rhythm depends on the group and retreat you join. Check the centre’s website for current dates and practical arrangements.

The practice
Bhakti Yoga is a Vedic spiritual path centred on devotion and loving service to the Divine. Retreats here draw inspiration from that tradition, alongside yoga and meditation gatherings. The precise practices and teaching style depend on the retreat you book, so newcomers should check the programme beforehand and ask the host what to expect.
