Family camping and yoga weekend retreat 22nd - 24th July 2022
This is a retreat with a difference – taking you back to nature and back to basics. Allow yourself to connect with your roots, with mother earth. This is a self - catering camping retreat for families during which you’ll be staying in a stunning setting at a greener camping site, doing plenty of yoga and meditation, craft workshops, splashing in the river for a wild swim and going for nature walks.
Everything is outdoors; we have a lovely open sided barn to use for yoga or plenty of open fields and riverbanks if the weather is kind to us. The setting is absolutely beautiful, completely quiet and wonderful in a valley by a river. All camping pitches are in the meadow by the river (except campervan pitches which are on the next field) and as this is a greener camping site, there will only be a few pitches available and lots of space between tents.
This retreat will be raw and beautiful, filled with making memories, gazing stars, dancing in the wild flower meadows (if you so choose), feeling the earth beneath your feet and connecting with all elements. Bring your family, this will be time to connect and share, to let go and find a real connection.
Please note – This is a self - catering retreat, you need to bring your own tent and food, which is reflected in the price. However, some basic ingredients are included. This retreat is inclusive of all so vegetables, meat, eggs and dairy will be present on site. This is also a sheep farm which cares for its animals and their welfare.
About the place
Hidden away in the heart of Wales, Camp Plas is a haven for animal lovers, children, walkers and those who simply want to get a little closer to nature. Each pitch is nestled within a beautiful wild flower meadow next to river Vyrnwy (apart from campervan pitches which are on the next field), with its own fire pit area that’s perfect for fireside story-telling and star-gazing. Facilities include wonderful warm showers, communal kitchen area with gas hob, and flushing toilets. The weekend is for us and there won’t be anyone else staying on site.
You will need to bring your own tent unless you book on for the one glamping hut which is absolutely stunning. This is a greener camping site and as a special treat for my first retreat you will receive the Greener Camping Club annual membership (one per pitch – value £10) which allows you to stay at other Greener Camping Club sites throughout the year.

About the teachers

Hi! I’m Anja, adults yoga & mindfulness teacher based in Wales.
I offer a safe space for your practice, and a nurturing guidance to support your health and wellbeing. Yoga is for every body and every soul – I offer a blend of styles from gentle flow to stronger physical practice and relaxing yin yoga. I also want you to have some fun on the mat – not only as a result of my bad jokes but also during your exploration on the mat. A little playful light-heartedness is oh so important for us adults. I am passionate about sharing yoga in the outdoors, embracing the seasons and connecting with nature. Growing up around the forests in Finland, I aim to share this passion for true connection to nature with you. I am also a fairy and elfin artist and love sharing my magical and mythical stories and makes with you – whether you are an adult or a child! Why not find out more about Anja here? |
