‘All the yoga sessions were gentle and full of love, accessible to beginners and more established practices alike, and Kate seamlessly wove the themes of the detox into each class’
our Reviewer Carla McKay says:
‘Laura’s teaching is exceptional. She manages to keep an eye out for everyone, makes adjustments, and rubs your neck from time to time with some heavenly oil’
Queen of Retreats says:
‘Guides and teachers are engaging, thoughtful and passionate, and we love the focus on the different seasonal activities to suit the sessions. Knock Mount Snowdon off your bucket list - the views from the summit are simply glorious. Back at base, you’ll need a pair of slippers. The bespoke retreats for small groups are a superb idea - perfect for team building, birthday celebrations and family get-togethers’

The Zest Life
The Zest Life was born out of the benefits of yoga, walking and wild swimming after founder Laura Bell used them to recover from a serious back injury. Now - on Anglesey and the Vale of Clwyd in North Wales and in Cumbria in England - Laura offers cosy, affordable, nurturing breaks with yoga and zestful activity at their heart.
