Yogi Claire
Make room for your wilder wisdom
A Georgian manor, a quiet valley and the changing rhythms of the natural world shape Yogi Claire’s women’s retreats in the Brecon Beacons. Tall John’s House sits among hills, farmland, trees and water, with the calm of a secluded setting and little road noise or light pollution. The invitation is to arrive as you are, connect with nature and the seasons, and make space for personal reflection and renewed confidence. Yoga is the named practice, set within a wider intention to honour lunar and personal cycles. Meals are prepared by a private chef using locally sourced, plant-based ingredients, with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options. The house has a yoga studio, free Wi-Fi and free parking. Retreats are open to women of different ages and backgrounds; ask Yogi Claire about the focus and schedule of a particular date before booking.
