Retreat Guest Feedback

An incredibly beautiful venue for such a gorgeous retreat. The whole day was perfectly put together, Fabulous combination of active yoga and meditation. The Sound Bath at the end was brilliant.

Donna Easton – Lima Gardens February 2023

I had a wonderful time on the retreat. A perfect mix of yoga, meditation, eating lovely food and meeting new people. Trigonos is such a beautiful, peaceful place. Kate is a brilliant yoga teacher, with perfect instruction and inspiration. I feel truly blessed to have had the opportunity to attend.

Jackie Wise – Trigonos February 2023

Kate exudes kindness and warmth. Her wealth of experience enables her to pass on her skills and knowledge in clear, precise ways which allowed me to deepen my yoga practice and I feel truly relaxed and at peace. 

Carol Gadd – Trigonos February 2023

Really loved this one-day event. Perfect mix of stretching, breathwork, relaxation. The crystal bowls, chimes and gong Sound Bath was amazing! Feel totally rejuvenated. Excellent venue, love the potting shed for our tea breaks.

Adrienne Taylor – Lima Gardens March 2023

I loved the variety of sessions. Kate you are an amazing source of knowledge. It felt relaxed and holistic and what was shared was stuff I will take with me to navigate through life! The barefoot yoga on the grass was very special too!

Alison Cook – Lima Gardens March 2023

My first impression of Kate was ‘What a lovely lady with a soft, kind voice. I am going to enjoy this!” The sessions were amazing! Kate was very gentle with us, giving instructions that are crystal clear. The Sound Bath / Meditation on the last evening was the most wonderful experience of my whole life! To be so still and to be in total contact with my soul – words cannot describe how that felt! Thank you, Kate, you are an amazing healer. The group work outside was so powerful, it unlocked everything that was blocked. Total Release!

Jean Piddington – Trigonos April 2023

The retreat was so special, it’s hard to describe it in words. This is not an exercise class or a mini-break, it is about learning to experience life in a way that heals and nourishes and enables you to move forward.

Tamzin Walton – Trigonos April 2023

The 4 Day Retreat with Kate at Trigonos exceeded all my expectations. She prepares and facilitates all of her yoga wisdom with such love and care. In addition we experienced Crystal Bowls Sound Meditation and the last night a Kirtan – I arrived feeling tired and weary – I left with batteries recharged, ideas to contribute to my practice and so relaxed.

Angela Horner – Trigonos July 2023

An amazing restorative retreat with a wide variety of sessions and a great balance of time for yourself. Kate is very supportive, calm, relaxed and focused on ensuring the time is tailored to your needs and goals. I’d highly recommend a retreat with OM YOGA!

Jules Johnson – Trigonos September 2023

Kate creates a very warm and welcoming retreat, where everyone is made to feel important. Her yoga classes are filled with a deep understanding of Hatha Yoga, which is hard to find these days. I only wish the retreat had been longer!

Charlotte Bolton – Trigonos September 2023

A truly stunning day! A beautifully immersive experience that surpassed my expectations. Thank you, Kate, for igniting a love for yoga for me.

Chloe Hughes – Lima Gardens October 2023

If you are looking for a day to restore, relax and re-charge, this is it! Give yourself permission to spend time with yourself and like-minded ones. Fab venue – yoga, swimming, lovely food and a heated yoga floor! Come to Trigonos with Kate!

Jane Elliott - Trigonos December 2023

If life is too fast and your mind is too busy, your body, mind and spirit will benefit from a Yoga Day Retreat! So many facets, hugely restorative., beautiful food and venue. Lovely day that reaps the benefits long after I have left the building!

Maria Dawes - Trigonos December 2023

I love these Day Retreats! A chance to dip into different yoga practices. I really enjoyed every aspect of the day. The venue is lovely and rustic, the yoga studio is warm and cosy even in the winter. The use of the potting shed and garden make it really special.

Amanda Foster – Lima Gardens February 2024

Plas Cadnant is a beautiful location, where you really feel you are 'away' and in a special place. Kate and Catherine are such a great team, working together to always focus on making sure the group are getting the most out of the retreat experience. Their relaxed and friendly approach really enabled everyone to relax into the retreat and, I think, to really benefit in a deep way. Kate took a lot of time to figure out what the group needed and the programme was perfectly paced so that time literally flowed by.

EW – Plas Cadnant March 2024

I came stiff, uncoordinated with no expectations, stressed and lost. But I leave with a bag of tools, new skills, methods to cope and ways to improve daily. The Sound Bath was an amazing experience. I feel lighter, taller, stronger, centred and educated in ways to priortise and strengthen myself.

Pete Greensmith – Plas Cadnant March 2024

Kate is a rare gem. I really enjoyed my retreat with her, especially the K.I.S.S. attitude to basic principles of yoga. 5 Stars! I really enjoyed the day!

Chrissy Kitchener - Trigonos April 2024

Once again, Kate wraps her arms around the group, guiding, supporting and teaching in her unique and gentle way. In the magical setting of Trigonos, this is a wonderful way to reset and explore new experiences.

Sam Piddington – Trigonos May 2024

Highly recommended – this is my fourth time! I feel so relaxed, centred and happy at the end of the day. Thank You Kate!

Michelle Atkinson – Lima Gardens July 2024

Kate creates and holds a heart-filled space within which I am able to relax, explore and connect with myself. The combination of beautiful venue, wholesome food and gentle, inspiring teaching nourishes my being.

Annie Woolf – Trigonos September 2024

I arrived feeling tired and weighed down by worries and doing too much. I left feeling lighter and centred after a lovely nurturing, calming day for myself.

Dorne Quipp – Lima Gardens September 2024

A fabulous day where I felt able to deepen my knowledge about the Chakras. I also loved the opportunity to get ‘hands on with the bowls – the vibrations they make are incredible. Thank you, Kate for such a wonderful day.

Rhian Williams - Trigonos March 2025

What an intentional, well-thought out retreat, full of like-minded people. Peace and hope. The balance between yoga, singing bowls and Chakras was beautiful.

Megan Roberts - Trigonos March 2025

I was able to fully disconnect from life’s pressures and I learnt so much – different yoga practices and their uses in life. I learnt so much about vegan food and really enjoyed informal cooking lessons and then eating what we had made!

SF – Plas Cadnant March 2025

Kate’s retreats offer a perfect balance of personal development and guided yoga that is valuable for both complete beginners and more advanced people. She offers a fun and safe space to try things out in amazing settings with great healthy food.

Jon Hall – Plas Cadnant March 2025

What a magical experience! Kate’s teaching is incredible. I so appreciated the variety of sessions and the chance to learn about Meditation, Yoga Nidra and Restorative Yoga. Also learning to prepare and cook plant-based food with Catherine in such a stunning part of the world was a joy!

Aldina Mesic – Plas Cadnant March 2025

A year after my last retreat I feel like a different person. The yoga retreat last year gave me the strength to listen to my body and follow a path of authenticity. I now feel hopeful and have started to feel joy thanks to participating in this retreat.

JN – Trigonos May 2025

Wonderful venue set in spectacular scenery. The Day Retreat provides a good mix of Yoga postures, Meditation techniques and breathing exercises, mudras and Yoga Nidra. A very relaxing and yet informative day. I would highly recommend.

Janet Williams - Trigonos September 2025

Kate embodies her teachings; she has deep understanding as well as thorough knowledge about all that she teaches. She is a special human being who we are lucky to have here in North Wales.

Sarah Braid - Trigonos November 2025

Kate is a beautiful soul, so kind and so knowledgeable. You will feel in good hands, safe to listen to your own body and to learn what it needs, following clear guidance and instruction from Kate. 

Rebecca Knowles - Lima Gardens December 2025

If you can possibly afford yourself the time to attend one of Kate's retreats, please do. You will not regret it and you will float all the way home!

Judith Jones - Trigonos February 2026

Come to Trigonos - you must promise yourself a day here at least ... a complete getaway for yourself for a time to connect with your body in the here and now.

Heather Davies - Trigonos February 2026
