LGBTQ+ Yoga and Wellness Escape in the Black Mountains, Wales

This retreat is a sanctuary for the LGBTQ+ community, a space where you can be your authentic self without fear of judgment. Over three days, you'll engage in energizing Vinyasa yoga, calming restorative practices, and guided meditations designed to address common issues such as shame, negative self-judgement, and dysmorphia. The approach, rooted in acceptance and compassion, helps peel back layers of identity and commune with your inner self.

The location is breathtaking. Surrounded by rolling hills, ancient forests, and the winding River Wye, the Black Mountains provide a peaceful backdrop for reflection and rejuvenation. Activities include nature hikes with a trusted guide, outdoor walking meditation, and mindful sense exploration on a National Trust Nature reserve. In your downtime, you can book a Thai Yoga Massage with Gray, or take a trip into Hay-on-Wye, the historic town of books, and visit the very pink 'Gay On Wye' bookshop.

Your hosts, Gray and Hedd, are renowned for their warm, light-hearted, and inclusive teaching style. Gray is a senior yoga teacher, massage therapist, and tactile sign language specialist, while Hedd is an award-winning musician, psychotherapist, and Taiko drumming instructor. Together, they create a space where you feel truly held and supported, both physically and emotionally. Matthew, Gray's husband, will nourish you with delicious, locally sourced vegetarian and vegan meals, including his famous cakes.
