Black Mountain Yoga Retreat
22nd - 25th August 2025
Fforest Barn, Wales, UK (Map)
(Max 14 students capacity)
Join us for the Summer Bank Holiday weekend filled with yoga in the beautiful countryside of the Black Mountains.
Fforest barn fuses a 17th century oak beamed stone barn with an eco-friendly Dutch barn giving the feel of ancient Wales with all mod cons, total privacy and stunning views and walks in every direction.
What you can expect over the weekend:
Morning meditation practices, two yoga practices each day, including an awakening and energising morning session and restorative evening practice. Time to enjoy the beautiful surrounding countryside with walking, swimming and star gazing. Hot Tub available 24/7
Outdoor space and walks:
Fforest Barn has a large lawn including sunset firepit, Fforest glen orchard and walk to Eagle’s Landing lookout with a stunning view and firepit, often used for ceremonies and meditations. There are walks in all directions – from 30 minutes to 2 hours – up mountains, along ridges, in forests. There is no light or noise pollution or need to drive.
Your accommodation and food:
You’ll be sleeping in luxury, newly renovated bedrooms, single, double or twin. The rooms in the main house (Dutch Barn and Old Barn) have a modern, playful edge to their design. In the adjacent Fforest Glen orchard there are 2 gypsy caravans (one with a double bed and one with a single), a luxury safari tent (2 singles or 1 king), and a tree house with a single bed, each with heating. External accommodation has an adjacent ecoloo and separate shower room. The house offers a communal area and a large terrace to relax and enjoy during your free time. Food will be vegetarian (other dietary needs can be met on request).

WOW it can’t get much better than Fforest Barn. Everything is magnificent, the nature, the rolling hills and spectacular 180-degree views. The main house and Dutch barn are the epitome of comfort, ambience, style and design. The peace, birdsong and wildlife accompany you in this splendid environment. Whatever you want from your escape to Wales, Fforest Barn has it all. Five stars and more….. it’s heaven.
