4-Day Yorkshire Dales Hiking & Yoga Wellness Retreat

Your days here follow a rhythm that balances movement and rest. Each morning, a 90-minute yoga class on the platform (or in the barn if the weather turns) gets you ready for the day. After brunch, you head out on a guided hike that starts right from the front door, winding up onto the moors with expansive views over glacial valleys. The hikes are led by qualified mountain guides who know the area intimately, and you'll stop for a packed lunch somewhere with a view. Evenings bring a restorative yoga session to unwind, followed by dinner and time to relax in the hot tub or sauna.

The farmhouse itself is a mix of modern comfort and traditional charm. The owners have filled it with comfy beds, quirky artwork, good quality linen and towels, and plenty of cushions and throws. It feels like a home away from home the moment you walk in. The family that owns the venue are regenerative farmers, so the property is run with green practices that help sustain the surrounding nature. This connection to the land is part of what makes the retreat feel grounded and real.

Yoga on this retreat is taught by Hayley, an experienced instructor whose approach is grounded in the principles of Vanda Scaravelli. Her teaching focuses on gravity, breath, and the spine, allowing movement to unfold naturally and without force. She brings in elements of meditation, creative sequencing, and functional anatomy, drawing on her background in dance and studies in Feldenkrais and Somatics. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, her classes are accessible and deeply relaxing.

The location is another highlight. You're just a short drive from the historic market town of Richmond, and the retreat sits just north of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. This area is renowned for its glacial landscapes, vast U-shaped valleys, and a sense of expansiveness that's hard to find elsewhere. The hikes are strenuous but rewarding, and you'll feel a real sense of accomplishment after each one.
