A weekend retreat in the Lake District focused on deep rest, replenishment and restoring a sense of balance through gentle yoga, meditation, sound healing sessions and mindfulness practices.

For anyone who feels worn down by everyday demands, spends much of their energy caring for others, or struggles to switch off even when there’s finally time to stop.

We’ll explore how to release tension, settle a busy mind and recognise the kind of rest you need. Alongside time to recover, you’ll discover simple practices to help you make rest part of everyday life, no matter how busy you are.

The programme includes accessible morning yoga, restorative yoga, evening gong and sound meditations, and a practical mindfulness workshop.

There’s also time for walks, swimming, quiet conversations or an afternoon with nothing planned.

We’ll stay in a historic cottage near the lake, with delicious vegetarian meals, a sauna and an outdoor hot tub.

Beginners are welcome. All sessions are in English.
