LLANIDLOES DAILY ITINERARY – JUNE 2025
We thought it might be helpful to have an indication of our plans for each day, so you know where to be and when. However, we know that everyone attending has slightly different aims from the retreat, so please know that everything we offer is very much an invitation – you are welcome to join in as much, or as little, as you like. Similarly, if you have any yoga requests during the retreat, please let us know and we will do our best to incorporate them!
Of course, we reserve the right to make any changes to the itinerary, depending on the weather and how energetic everyone is feeling! Some days have more yoga on offer than others – this is a retreat, and one advantage of being on retreat is downtime, so please make the most of these quiet times, maybe with some wild swimming or paddleboarding.
