WHY WE CREATED THIS RETREAT

Designed for personal growth


We created this holistic retreat to share the healing energy of Plas Ashpool, the family home of our founder, Laura Bell. Growing up in this serene and inspiring environment, Laura’s passion for nature and wellness blossomed, and it became the foundation for Zest Life retreats. This yoga and walking retreat was designed to offer a sanctuary where guests can reconnect with themselves, find balance, and experience transformation in a safe and nurturing space in the beautiful hills of North Wales. Whether you seek relaxation or personal growth, this yoga and wellness retreat is the perfect weekend escape to detoxify, rejuvenate, and equip yourself with many tools to live a healthier, more balanced life.
