Yoga classes

We offer four yoga classes for the two-night stay. The Friday night welcome practice will be a chance to unwind and settle into the beautiful surroundings.

The early morning practice on Saturday will wake up our bodies and prepare us for the day of walking ahead. On Saturday evening we will have a chance to stretch those tired muscles and relax. The Sunday morning practice will be a gentle session designed to ease us into another day of walking or prepare you for your journey home.

On Sunday evening we will have another opportunity to stretch those tired limbs and the final Monday morning practice will be designed to leave you calm and chilled. There is the option to take our yoga classes outside at this venue if the weather permits.

The walking options include Glaramara, Allen Crags, Eagle Crag, Sergeant Crag, High Raise, Ullscarf, Dale Head, Hindscarth and Robinson, which are all accessible walks from the front door of the centre.
