A long weekend of yoga, walking and fresh air in the heart of the Lake District, with beautiful fell and lake views right from the doorstep.
About Yewfield
Yewfield is a traditional vegetarian B&B set in an idyllic location in the heart of the English Lake District. It is ideally situated for breathtaking walks and offers magnificent views of this exquisite region of rare natural beauty.
There are over 80 acres of land around the house, including native woodland, rough fell pasture, a small tarn and a stream. The grazed pasture is carefully managed, giving priority to ecological considerations.
Retreat programme
There will be yoga classes each morning and evening in the light and airy yoga studio with garden views and a log burner.
Morning classes will offer meditation and a flowing asana practice to strengthen and align the body. The evening classes will be more restorative, encouraging a deeper sense of awareness and inner peace.
Each day after morning yoga and breakfast, there will be the opportunity to explore the area's many walks and breathtaking surroundings with a picnic lunch. A guided hike will be offered on the Saturday.
Arrival time on Thursday 6 May is from 3pm onwards. You can arrive earlier from 1pm if you want to explore the beautiful surroundings. The first yoga session will be at 5pm. The weekend will finish mid-morning on Sunday after yoga and breakfast.
Things to do
Yewfield is set in a quiet, elevated position, with panoramic views over the Vale of Esthwaite, Lake Windermere and the fells beyond. It is also just a short distance from Tarn Hows, a well known landmark in the Lake District.
Between yoga classes there will be time for you to explore the woodland, open fell and lakes that start right from the front door. A guided hike will be offered on the Saturday. Or you can take things slowly, treat yourself to a massage and then curl up with a good book in the lounge, a quiet space to relax and enjoy the fine views in comfort.
