North Wales Wild Swim and Yoga Retreat 

North Wales Wild Swim and Yoga retreat. 

SwimW.Ell x Riverstone Yoga. 

Take three days to slow down, reset and reconnect. Think secret swim spots, nature-led yoga, and quiet moments surrounded by the wild  beauty of North Wales, all shared with a small group of likeminded people. 

Join El & Holly for a cosy, self catered retreat in the heart of North Wales. Every location's been chosen through years of local wandering, swimming, paddling and hiking - tried, tested and properly loved. 

Location: North Wales

North Wales has always held a special place in my heart. I lived here for three years while studying Outdoor Education & Sports Science at Bangor University, a time that deepened my love for its mountains, lakes, rivers, forests, and coastline.

During those years, I discovered hidden gems and learned about the region’s rich history and language. I’ve always wanted to share this connection... but only with those who will respect and care for these landscapes as much as they deserve.

This retreat is my way of doing exactly that: a small, mindful group adventure that honours the magic of North Wales while keeping its secrets safe.

Why This Time of Year

Autumn in North Wales is simply breathtaking.

The crowds have gone, the air is crisp, and the autumnal colours of orange and brown are in full swing. The lakes and rivers are cold and alive, and everything feels beautifully still. It’s the perfect time to slow down, reconnect, and immerse yourself in the wild.

Accommodation

We’ll be staying in a cosy Welsh home. A warm, welcoming base to relax and recharge after our days outdoors.

• Rooms: Twin rooms (shared)

• Shared spaces: Lounge and kitchen area for communal downtime

• Meals: This is a self-catered retreat, giving you the freedom to cook together, enjoy solo meals, or treat yourself to a meal out at one of the local spots.

What to Expect

Each day is packed with at least one yoga session and one wild swim session. 

You can expect a range of lake, river, sea and waterfall swimming, breath work sessions, as well as outdoor yoga practice, optional inversion workshop, and plenty of morning and evening stretches. Each day we will recommend optional additional activities in the area, and mindful group activities led by us.
