Ymestfan
Ymestfan (pronounced uh-mest-van) comes from the Welsh for a place of extension, stretch or reach. Given its position and outlook, it's a name that makes sense the moment you arrive.
Another example of Clare's ability to re-envision neglected spaces, this beautiful light-filled room has been transformed from a dilapidated garage to create an inspiring space for yoga, breathwork, Pilates, meditation, sound baths.
It works equally well as an additional space for workshops and informal meetings. Retaining its original beams, and exposed stone and brickwork, it has tastefully designed to offer a calm and restful ambiance, and is located between Ardwyn Bach and Plas Tirion.
