Join me for a long weekend of yoga and meditation in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.
During our three night retreat, we'll be staying just North of Skipton, in the picturesque Yorkshire Dales National Park. The weekend will be a wonderful opportunity to take a break from our day to day commitments, re-connect with our essential nature and the vibrant energy of Spring. There will be yoga asana, pranayama, meditation and yoga nidra, interspersed with short periods of silence.
Over the weekend we'll take time to deepen our yoga practice, spend time with a fab group of like minded yogis and get out in to the Yorkshire Dales. Along with our yoga practice, the weekend includes fabulous home cooked food, time to explore the area and an optional wild swim adventure, with our very own Jess. Over the weekend, we'll take time to explore a theme centred around a single word. In 2024 our word was joy. It was fascinating to explore ways to tap in to the most meaningful, joyful moments in life.
Our base for the weekend is the fabulous YHA hostel in the centre of the village of Kettlewell. It's a gorgeous light, bright, welcoming building with a mix of communal eating and living spaces. There's a fab garden, backing on to open countryside and - based on feedback from last Spring's retreat - lots of bedrooms, giving the option of single or twin share! Should the evenings be on the cool side, the first floor lounge has a wood burning stove to snuggle up by. Along with the hostel, we'll be using Kettlewell Village Hall, for our daily yoga practice and teachings.
The weekend will follow the routine of simple ashram style living, with arrival from 4:00pm on Thursday afternoon. The retreat will close with brunch on Sunday. Accommodation is in bright, clean bunk rooms. There's the option to book a single room or be paired with another attendee in a twin room. There's a maximum of 18 spaces split over ten rooms.
All meals are included. Food is wholesome, home cooked and vegetarian, served with artisan breads, home made cakes, fruit and herbal teas. We're used to catering for a variety of food allergies. If there is anything we need to be aware of, please advise with your booking. On Saturday evening, we'll have our usual Retreat Dinner. An opportunity to get out of your stretchy pants and celebrate our time together.
