My last day retreat of the year will be November 8th in Snowdonia & we’ll be in my favourite room ‘Modron’ with epic views & heated flooring at Trigonos.

If you are looking:

- for plenty of opportunities to rest
- to be fed nourishing organic foods
- for gentle movement & breathe work
- for a women’s only space

This lightly facilitated day means you’ll have a lose structure but so much time to sit, wander, ponder, even have a cheeky dip in the private lake? ✌️

Pop me a message if you’d like more info.

“We had a very relaxing day at Trigonos. It is a very special place and really felt like a retreat from the world. Chelsea is an excellent yoga teacher and the morning sessions were perfectly paced. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.” Bethan

What can I say about my Yoga, Yogalates & SUP yoga autumn retreat other than what a beautiful group of people to slow down with.

This year’s guests (friends 💕) were all from classes and past retreats, so we already had that connection which made the weekend super special.

And I said no more residential retreats next year but I may have changed my mind! 😘

BTW if you’re looking to day yoga retreat with me next month (Nov 8th) I will be back at for a slow + gentle day of rest + nature.

And this is 35.

Today was everything I love — a sauna, a dip in Llyn Tegid, slow feasts shared with good people.

But what a week it’s been…
A broken phone (and SIM), no access to my bank accounts, and an enforcement officer letting himself into my home over late parking fee charges I didn’t even know about.

Somewhere between scared, frustration, peace, gratitude and exhaustion, I realised — it’s possible to hold both.

To feel happy and sad.
Calm and chaotic.
Grounded and lost.

Life’s complex, and so are we. Maybe that’s the point — to stop trying to tidy our emotions, and just let them be.

This week’s reminded me just how vital it is to have a network of support to help us navigate the jungle of life.

It's been a glorious few days in North Wales on the lake and river with Steve—still patiently encouraging me in paddling after all these years and now leadership skills.

He’s been there since the very beginning, always managing to work with my dyspraxia and my neurospicy brain, meeting me where I’m at, somehow making it all click and being very patient.

A decent human leaves you feeling capable, not crushed, and Steve nails it every time. Honestly, it’s a brilliant life-benchmark: do the people around you build you up or wear you down?

Also, nature really pulled out all the stops: kingfishers darting, herons plotting, Canadian geese gathering and buzzards doing their best “majestic but slightly judgy” circling. Bliss.

Oh, and let’s not forget Julie’s legendary cake—fuel for body, soul, and paddling arms. I’m fairly sure it deserves its own entry in the wildlife log. 🧁✨

Over the weekend, my phone took a dunk in the lake and didn’t survive. Since then, it’s been a real faff trying to sort things out, and I’m still waiting—fingers crossed—to have a replacement by tomorrow. What’s surprised me most is how stressful it’s been not being able to reach an actual human. Instead, I found myself caught in endless loops with clunky AI assistants, and it really made me reflect on how deeply important human connection will always be.

This morning, after yet another frustrating back-and-forth with a virtual assistant, I decided enough was enough. I stepped away, baked a tray of banana and chocolate muffins, and brewed a fresh pan of chai. As the kitchen filled with warmth and spice, I found myself remembering a project I’d been part of a few summers ago with Gwasanaeth Cefn Gwlad Sir Ddinbych - Denbighshire Countryside Service. It was all about bringing communities together through the simple joy of wildflower meadows. A reminder, really, of how grounding and nourishing real connection—human and with nature—can be.

A lovely group at tonight's Stretch & Sauna club - roaring log burner, candles, setting sun - I had ALL the autumn feels. 🍁 And we had our first evening dip of the season. Well done to all those who braved the dark + cold! 💪

Shall I host another soon? 😍

Went on a 'food crawl' today with my friend and our doggos for early birthday celebrations.

We enjoyed a relaxing autumnal walk through the park but what you can't see is the bit where Bel chose the mudiest part of the river to get in and returned as a swamp monster... 🤪🙈

Do you know what feels really special? 😍

Just being able to not have to look at your schedule, when a friend who've you've worked with for 4 years (and have never seen outside of work) says shall we go for hot chocolates?

No co-ordinating diaries, or empty promises of catching up - bliss.

Happy autumn equinox folks! There's a lot of talk about letting go around this time of year so I'm working on letting go of some structure, and recaliming micro moments of spontaneity.

How about you? 🍁

I know this is super last minute, but one of the lovely women who was due to join my retreat has had to cancel due to some very difficult personal circumstances.

This means there’s now one solo spot available on my Yoga + Yogalates Retreat in Snowdonia, happening next weekend (Sept 26–28). It’s an all-inclusive getaway designed for rest, movement, and reconnection.

There’s £400 left to pay for the spot — but I’d love to offer it on a ‘pay what you can’ basis to a woman who’s going through a tough time, on a low income, and in need of a little space to breathe.

If that sounds like you, just drop me an email by this weekend (chelsea@lovinglifeinwellies.co.uk) I’ll pop all names into a hat and choose someone on Monday.

With love,
Chelsea
