What You'll Do

Experience the stunning colours of autumn or the summer sunshine during a hiking yoga retreat in the awe-inspiring Lake District. Warm up with yoga in the morning with our qualified instructor and prepare to take in the impressive views during your hike with a qualified guide! End the day with a relaxing yoga evening session and 2 course meal.

 

2023 Dates:

14th-17th September

19th-22nd October

The retreat welcomes all ages and beginners/intermediates, perfect for solo travellers, couples or friends!

Accommodation:

The retreat is located in Hawkshead, near Ambleside, with stunning views from the yoga shala. If you love being active and adventurous this retreat will be perfect for you.

Yoga and Hiking

Start the day with an energising and dynamic yoga class and after a day’s excursions, unwind with a longer evening yin and yoga Nidra for deep relaxation. Finish the day off with a delicious vegan and vegetarian 2 course meal.

With our qualified and experienced mountain guides on hand to lead the day hike, and your yoga teachers to lead a more gentle yet equally as stunning walk to Tarn Howes directly from our retreat centre, immerse yourself in nature. Feel the benefits of being away from the frenetic and urban landscape of your day to day living.  Take a packed lunch and just sit and watch the world go by, or enjoy a bit of forest bathing and meditation.

All our yoga teachers are dedicated to their practise and live and breathe it. Be reassured that all of your tensions and worries will have dissolved by the end of your retreat. Yoga classes are made special with natural light radiating through the purpose-built, high ceiling yoga shala. There are even views of the mountains to help you tap into your mindfulness.

Eat exactly what you desire during your retreat as the food is catered to you and all ingredients are locally sourced, organic, vegan and vegetarian.

We have designed our weekends and weeks for people who love yoga, whether they are beginners or have been practising for years. All our teachers are very experienced and are more than capable of adapting the classes to all levels. Our ethos is about being open & friendly, and we set up our business to spread the incredible word of yoga to people who perhaps wouldn’t have gone on a yoga retreat before. So don’t be shy, there is no time like the present to start your journey with yoga.

Of course not, we understand we all want different things. Our two-hour sessions normally also include meditation or mindfulness, so it’s worth giving it a go.
