Holiday ExpiredAbout Garth Barns
The perfect combination of beautiful location, great facilities and accessibility, set amidst rolling hills of rural Wales. Garth Barns sits nestled in unspoiled and natural beauty in the countryside that surrounds the historic and pretty town of Llanidloes. A world away from it all, deep in the charm of rural Wales and yet easily accessed from London, Bristol, Manchester and Birmingham.
The two large barn conversions that house the Yoga Shala and all of the accommodation, are heated from renewable biomass and the drinking water is from the farm’s own pure spring water source. The barns surround the old farmyard, now a lovely space with gardens, a stream and an outdoor dining area for warmer days. There is also a gym and Finnish sauna. For wild swimmers there is a swimming pond. The venue is set within 200 acres of farmland with plenty of walks in the hills and valleys right on the doorstep.
The daily programme
The yoga classes will take place in the large and airy yoga room with underfloor heating. Each day will begin with a two hour morning yoga class. A strong and dynamic flowing asana practice gently opening the body and attuning the mind to the breath.
Morning class will be followed by breakfast. There will be free time throughout the day for walks, massages or simply relaxing with a good book. After lunch there will be free time until the afternoon class which will be more gentle and restorative and often include pranayama, meditation or yoga nidra. This will be followed by dinner.
Things to do
Garth Barns offers comfortable accommodation in which to relax and enjoy a good book, take to the hills and fields on long (or short) stunning nature walks. Amble about the local town and have a cup of tea or peruse the shops. Take a sauna or dip in the natural swimming pond. There will be delicious vegetarian food and plenty of time just to hang out and chat, meet new people, read, relax and enjoy being in nature and taking a break. A variety of massage treatments will also be available at additional cost.
Accommodation
The comfortable accommodation is finished to a high standard with single, twin and triple rooms available. There is also a 4-bed mini-dorm. All rooms are en-suite.
