About The Retreat
Dates: 29th December – 2nd January
New Year is a beautiful time to be in Yorkshire and to join us on our hiking and New Year yoga holiday. Enjoy invigorating hikes from the door, a hot tub with amazing views, yoga twice a day, star gazing, stunning landscapes, and an alternative New Year where you feel great moving into 2025.
Your days in Yorkshire are relaxed but full. Included in the price are two guided hikes with qualified mountain guides with the hikes directly from the house, delicious plant-based meals, a hot tub and sauna, and yoga to nourish both body and soul.
On our New Year retreats, you can do as much or as little as you like. The itinerary is all organised so you can switch off and enjoy being in the new company of like-minded people and energise or relax, it is up to you.
Our local hiking guides lead the two hikes available during this New Year’s yoga holiday in the Yorkshire Dales. With their depth of knowledge, they also provide an informative tour of the local area, which has beautiful U-shaped valleys and stunning scenery. Feel refreshed with brisk countryside walks with our qualified guides.
As it is the new year, we share a setting intentions workshop to help you get clear on goals for 2025 and what you want to let go of from 2024 so that you start the new year with positivity and focus. With a New Year’s Eve feast and ceremony, January 1st will never feel so good.
