Living in the moment is the key principle of mindfulness, one of the world’s fastest growing relaxation movements, which practitioners believe can transform emotional wellbeing and eliminate negative thought processes. And the technique is just one of the many alternative wellness therapies people can enjoy right here in Wales.
Whether you see yourself mediating on the shores of the Menai Strait or experiencing tranquility of stand up paddleboarding under the stars, Wales’ diverse and striking landscape is the ideal place to embrace your inner yogi. Yogi is the term used to describe someone who has spent a significant amount of time learning about the philosophy of different yoga practices and, as a result, has reached an advanced spiritual state.
Visit Wales has just published their guide to some of the unique locations and experiences here on our doorstep which can help you maintain your inner peace and drive positivity.
For example, any ‘Instagram famous’ yogi would love the opportunity to share pictures of practising with the incredible vista of Snowdonia National Park in the background.
Of course you don’t have to be a pro to practise in the North Wales hills. Dru Yoga in Gwynedd offers a number of retreats for people looking to relax and increase their energy levels, with yoga weekends, walking holidays and meditation breaks available all year round to those looking to get away from it all.
Dru Yoga is one of the most popular forms of yoga in the UK and focuses on the body’s chakras (energy centres), enabling practitioners to access the powerful energy of the heart. It also helps keep muscles and joints supple with fluid movements and Energy Block Release sequences.
Dru Yoga’s walking and yoga retreat is a rejuvenating break for those looking to recharge and de-stress against the dramatic landscape of North Wales. The waterfalls, lakes, forests and coastal paths should help bring the chill. This is just one of the many retreats offered by Dru Yoga but all holidays involve nurturing Dru Yoga practice, relaxation sessions and group meditations.
