Bobble Yoga -

Matthew Southgate

My experience at the Bobble Yoga Retreat, nestled in the serene surroundings of Garth Barns, was nothing short of rejuvenating and memorable. I'd like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Adri for curating such a blissful retreat that left a lasting impression on my mind and soul.

Garth Barns, the venue for the retreat, was a haven of tranquility. The picturesque setting amidst rolling hills and lush greenery instantly put me at ease. The accommodations were comfortable and provided the perfect sanctuary for relaxation. My stay at Garth Barns was nothing short of a retreat in itself.

The standout moments of the retreat included the sauna experience and the fresh water swim in the lake, The sauna was a therapeutic journey that allowed me to unwind and detoxify while surrounded by nature's beauty. It was a unique and deeply relaxing experience that I won't soon forget.

The mountain walk was a highlight of the retreat. Led by Susie, we ventured into the heart of the landscape, culminating in breathtaking views of the dam. The sense of accomplishment and connection with nature during this hike was truly remarkable.

Throughout the retreat, Adri and Susie's attention to detail and dedication to our well-being were evident. Their expertise in yoga and mindfulness practices enhanced the experience, leaving me with a profound sense of inner peace. The daily yoga sessions, guided meditation, and nutritious meals further contributed to the overall sense of well-being.

Bobble Yoga Retreat at Garth Barns provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It offered a harmonious blend of relaxation, mindfulness, and adventure. I left with a renewed sense of energy, a calm mind, and cherished memories. My sincere thanks to Adri and Susie for their warm hospitality and for creating a retreat that truly nourished the body, mind, and spirit. I can't wait to return for another transformative experience.

Adri is a fantastic teacher. Her instructions are clear, she's very observant and she has great advice on how you can adapt in certain poses to get the most out of them. I love her monthly yoga nidra class on Sunday evenings as it leaves me feeling very calm and relaxed, a wonderful end to the weekend. Adri also runs retreats, which are really well organised and a perfect mix of theory, meditation, workshops and yoga. The locations are beautiful, idyllic places, the food freshly prepared and you can completely switch off and focus deeply on your yoga practice. Thank you Adri for all that you're doing!

To start with, the location of the retreat was gorgeous. The accomodation of Garth Barns was perfect for yoga practise, even having under floor heating, so no cold toes! Adri & Susie created a warm & welcoming atmosphere, while Adri's instruction in various styles of yoga was clearly delivered. The practice is taken seriously but Adri brought fun & humour too. Sarah the chef created tasty home cooked breakfasts, lunches & dinners, that were delicious. Covid restrictions were reassuringly in place in a thoughtful manner throughout the accomodation as gentle reminders for everyone, but without spoiling the atmosphere. I would not hesitate to book another Bobble retreat!

Had the most amazing experience at the retreat in Wales. It was my first time and I was a little nervous as I haven't been doing yoga very long. Adri soon put my mind at rest, she is an fantastic teacher and I will certainly be going again next year 🙂
The venue is excellent and you can really chill out, the home made food is absolutely delicious, and Sarah caters for anyone with allergies. Her granola is out of this world!
Looking forward to next year!

This was my first yoga retreat but I’ll tell you all that it was the best experience I ever gifted myself. Adri was incredible and everything from her knowledge and skill in yoga, her course, the location and the food over exceeded every expectation I had of the weekend. I have been recommending bobble to all my friends and clients as a great way to escape the stresses of life. Thank you ladies for everything! You will see me again ♥️

Adri puts her heart and soul into organising an incredibly relaxing retreat, from the beautiful and spacious countryside venue with its lovely bedrooms to the yummy home-made food and desserts (thanks Sarah!). All Adri's careful planning and kind, gentle and caring ways meant that I had nothing else to do apart from being in the moment and enjoying the varied yoga and meditation practices (yoga nidra was one of my favourites!). I've been able to tweak my yoga practice for the better thanks to Adri's and Suzie's helpful guidance. It was great to have the time and space to be by myself when I wanted or join in with the small group of like-minded people. How lovely it was to sit and chat by the camp fire on the last night! I also enjoyed the local walks across the hilly meadows. The long weekend was fun (we had plenty of laughter), restful and ever so memorable - on the last day I found it hard to drive away back to reality.

First yoga retreat with Bobble Yoga in June 2021 and I loved it. I was really impressed by the schedule when I was booking, and was definitely not disappointed. Amazing to have a retreat timetable which not only includes daily yoga practice, meditation and restorative sessions but two workshops!

The schedule was nicely packed but also with opportunity for some downtime in between. Plenty of space to be quietly by yourself in your own company (or in the company of a good book!) or chatting and spending time with fellow retreaters. Lovely opportunity for walks around the Welsh countryside (beautiful but VERY hilly - would recommend sturdy waterproof hiking boots - mine got incredibly SOAKED!).

The food was fabulous, and we never went hungry. A mixture of traditional home cooking, lots of salads but also some tasty healthy sweet treats too.

Adri was incredibly quick to respond to all of my (many!) questions ahead of the retreat and was incredibly welcoming. I would absolutely recommend both her and her retreat - thanks Adri 🙂

Having joined Bobble Yoga for a weekend retreat in Wales I can truly say I was not disappointed. The whole weekend was just what I needed. The various yoga sessions were tailored to the time of day, energising in the mornings & restorative in the evening. Informative teachings on the use of props to extend your practice and workshops gave us the opportunity to ask all the questions you often don’t have time to ask in a regular yoga class. Adri & Suzie we’re both very good at explaining different aspects of yoga, and provide encouragement & tips as required.

Garth Barns was a lovely location & very comfortable. Sarah our chef provided us with the most amazing food & even gave me some tips to take home for my own cooking!

Seems impossible these days to write a review and not mention covid. Adri, Suzie & Sarah clearly planned and prepared for the whole weekend. It felt very clean, safe & covid secure. I was apprehensive about this before going but I felt safe the whole weekend through.

I would thoroughly recommend a Bobble Yoga retreat to anyone looking for yoga weekend.
