Core retreat programme
Our core retreat programme is available for all our guests, every week of the year.
It is based around our holistic programme for health and wellbeing – the Butterfly.
Why book an all-inclusive health and wellbeing retreat?
There are many reasons guests come to stay and take part in an all-inclusive health and wellbeing retreat at La Crisalida UK:

- To have time to focus on themself, with no obligations or expectations, and explore their mindset, perhaps to contemplate the next steps and direction they wish to take in life
- To meet like-minded people, who are also taking time to focus on their health and wellbeing
- To be looked after by our friendly and talented team of professionals
- To re-connect, re-balance and re-energise

What is the core retreat: Butterfly programme
We believe there are eight elements to living a healthy and balanced life, which are inter-related. Our retreat centres offers a quiet, beautiful place to rest, reflect, re-connect and dream. The activities, combined with fantastic nutritious plant-based (vegan) food and juices, in our supportive and welcoming retreat, integrate all the elements of this programme.
La Crisalida means chrysalis – the place a caterpillar transforms into a beautiful butterfly. We hope that you find the retreat a place of personal inner transformation, a place to rest, rejuvenate and reconnect with the authentic you. By the time you leave, you will feel re-connected, re-balanced and re-energised. The eight elements are described more fully on our Europe website: La Crisalida butterfly programme for health and wellbeing.

Arrive any day, stay as long as you want
La Crisalida UK offers you, our guest, the option to arrive any day of the week and to stay for as many nights as you want. Some guests like to come for 7 nights or longer, others choose to come for 2 or 3 nights. No matter how long you stay, you can experience all of the benefits of having this quiet time and leave feeling refreshed.
Retreat streams
All our guests are unique and to recognise this, we classify the activities into various areas. Some guests like to experience all of the activities, others choose to focus more into specific areas, for example: yoga and wellness, life makeover, detox and weightloss or relax and rejuvenate.
We are not a bootcamp, so you have the choice to attend any or all classes throughout your stay.

Yoga and wellness
Yoga is a part of our programme as it brings many health benefits
Regular yoga practice can help to build both strength and flexibility in the body. It helps with balance and mobility.
If you are new to yoga and never tried if before, this is a safe and supportive environment to try something new!
Yoga is a journey, we practice mindfully, to connect with our body, mind and spirit, and focus on the here and now.
We also run a weekly Yoga Nidra (a practice designed to relax your body and connect body, mind and spirit) plus a guided visualisation. Meditation sessions are also run. Read more about yoga at La Crisalida here.
Detox and weightloss
Nutritionally balanced plant-based food, with the option to juice, is available for all our guests. Some guests choose to juice – for 3 days, 5 days or longer, to really focus on cleansing and detoxing the body. Juicing can have an additional benefits of helping to lose weight (but this is not guaranteed).
Combine this with activities like the daily walk, rebounding and exercise classes to really kick-start the cleanse and to tone and strengthen the body. A running machine and cross-trainer is available on site.
Typical benefits of the detox and weightloss retreat steam are: healthy skin, clear eyes, renewed sense of energy and vitality, reduction in bloating and improved eating habits. Get back into balance and into good health.
Life makeover
Everyone’s life situation is different and our life makeover retreats give you the opportunity to reflect and reassess your life at the practical, emotional and spiritual levels.
The core of the life makeover stream are our specially created and designed group mindset workshops, which focus on different areas of life. There are also other workshops, like creativity (to re-connect in a different way) and classes like expressive writing. Personalised transformational and life coaching, as well as 1:1 sessions are also available to book during your stay (additional cost applies).
Combine these workshops with activities and nutrition, you can completely re-boot a healthly life style, for a full life makeover.
Relax and rejuvenate
If you have a busy life, with lots of demands on your time, or feel stressed and anxious then you might choose to focus more on our relax and rejuvenation stream.
The environment and programme is designed to help you to unwind, to release stress and tension and to calm down your mind and body quickly and with ease.
Evening activities are designed to be more restful and include restorative yoga for deep relaxation, specially written guided visualisations for peace and calm. Re-connect with nature in the daily walk or sit outside in the gardens or wood to listen to the birds. Sit quietly in meditation and enjoy being in the present moment. Enjoy time in the sauna with views over the stunning local Welsh countryside.
Take a deep breath and allow yourself to relax.
