North Wales:
Wild Swimming & Yoga Retreat
Riverstone Yoga X SwimW.Ell
Friday 30th October - Monday 2nd November 2026
6 Spaces Total (Sold out)
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 Holly & El for a cosy, self catered retreat in the heart of North Wales. Every location has been chosen through years of local wandering, swimming, paddling and hiking - tried, tested and properly loved.
Location:
North Wales has a special kind of magic - wild, raw, and endlessly beautiful.
El (SwimW.Ell) knows it well, having lived there three years while studying. Her time there deepened a love for the mountains, lakes, rivers, and coastline, and over the years she’s discovered countless hidden gems and quiet swim spots. When she took Holly to explore, it was love at first swim, and the idea for this retreat was born!
This retreat is a chance to experience some of those places for yourself - the ones that mean the most to us - in a small, mindful group that respects and cares for the landscape as much as we do.
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 stay - 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 practice 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.
