Day Retreat at Lima Gardens

Day Retreats

On a Day Retreat, time opens up and slows down... we take a deep breath and pause.

We have time to explore all aspects of the Yoga, Meditation, Chakras and Rest Practices. My two atmospheric venues are here in stunning North Wales.

I love sharing the practices that have worked for me for the last 26 years, and the retreat experience evolves over time; no two retreats are ever the same!

I really hope you will join me on a nurturing Day Retreat - time just for you in 2026!

*NEW* Yoga, Meditation & Breathwork

In the four sessions on this Day Retreat, we will experience grounding Yoga, centring Breathwork, hand Mudras and a long Yoga Nidra. 

By the end of the day, I hope you will feel inspired to try at least one of the techniques at home and incorporate it into your daily life. .

June 14th & October 11th at Lima Gardens, near Betws-y-Coed.

Yoga & The Chakras

The seven main Chakras contain the seven aspects of our human experience so it makes sense that if one of them is out of balance, it affects the whole system.

We will use the practices of Yoga, Meditation, Mantra, Mudras to balance the seven main channels of energy in the subtle body – the Chakras.

Chakras & Sound Healing

The seven main Chakras contain the seven aspects of our human experience so it makes sense that if one of them is out of balance, it affects the whole system.

We will experiment with different types of Sound Healing to bring the Chakras into harmony, and you can have a play of the bowls and percussion too!

We will wrap up the day with a full Sound Bath.

Music, Movement & Mantra

Siward Mullens will play live music for our morning yoga class, followed by an exploration of different ways to use mantra as a meditation practice. We will learn a simple mantra to practise at home.

We will finish the day with a Kirtan with ancient Sanskrit chants, songs and silences, inviting you to relax, centre, meditate and delve deeper into stillness.

Yoga Yoga Yoga

This Day Retreat is all about different styles of Yoga and understanding their benefits.

We will begin with a mat-based session of slow and steady grounding Hatha Yoga and then experience the deep rest of Yoga Nidra. 

In the afternoon, we will start standing and do some more dynamic Hatha Yoga and then settle in for a Restorative Yoga practice.

Rest Medicine

In a world where we carry being busy, exhausted and productive as badges of honour, it can be a challenge to give yourself permission to rest. Step into a space where rest and renewal are on the menu - guilt-free!

We will down-regulate the nervous system with slow and gentle Hatha & Restorative Yoga.

We will experience and understand the power of the deep resta nd re-set button that is the practice of Yoga Nidra.

Day Retreat Testimonials

I went to Kate’s session as a complete beginner and she took us through step by step so gently. All the levels of yoga skill were comfortable and felt AMAZING at the end. Will definitely be the beginning of my yoga journey.

Evie Rutt – Lima Gardens January 2024

It’s a day I didn’t know I needed. Kate’s warmth, compassion and knowledge are quite incredible. My body and mind are re-connected, at peace and restored.

Louise Williams – Lima Gardens April 2024

You must come to this beautiful venue nestled in the Welsh mountains and experience a yoga practice that will open the windows of your heart, mind, body and spirit. 

Ruth Melvine – Trigonos September 2024

Kate’s holding of our yoga retreat was so beautiful and gentle. I felt so unbelievably calm and peaceful at the end and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Thank you so much Kate.

Rebecca Lowe – Lima Gardens July 2025

A very informative day providing a deep insight into why the Chakras are important and how they manifest in our lives. Interesting to learn about the beliefs imposed in childhood have an effect on us today.

Janet Henson – Lima Gardens April 2025

Perfect surroundings to switch off. The content of the retreat was great. This is what a true retreat is and should be! The live music & kirtan was something very special to experience.
