Lake District in October 2023 – 1 place left!
19th - 22nd October Hiking and yoga retreat Lake District 2023
Autumn fun on our Lake District yoga retreat with hiking and visiting the beautiful Lakes. Yoga twice a day and vegan food.
Autumn is such a beautiful time to experience a hiking and yoga retreat in the Lake District. The colours are turning from a vibrant green to hues of red, orange and soft browns. It is one of our favourite times of the year to visit as the crowds are gone and it takes on a slower pace of life.
With our qualified and very 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 and feel the benefits of this, 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.
Start the day with an energising yoga class and after a day’s excursions, unwind with evening yin and yoga Nidra followed by a vegan and vegetarian feast.
