About the yoga
Our classes for our Lake District retreat are really special, with natural light coming into the purpose-built, high ceiling yoga shala overlooking the mountains.
Each yoga class is designed in response to the energetic needs of the group, and this is reflected in the overall pace and rhythm of your yoga retreat. We ensure that the level and dynamics of the yoga classes are in harmony with the participants, the time of the day and the activities enjoyed that day.
