Wellness Escape in the Peak District: Yoga, Sound Healing & Nature

The retreat is held in a beautifully converted former printworks, set in the countryside of the Peak District National Park. The space effortlessly blends original character with modern comfort – think high ceilings, large windows, and quiet corners for reading and reflection. The surrounding landscape is spectacular, with hiking trails leading directly from the property into the hills.

Your days will follow a gentle rhythm. Mornings start with a Yang practice – a dynamic, flowing Vinyasa-style class to wake up the body and mind. After a leisurely brunch, the afternoon is free. You could join a group hike with a local guide, find a quiet spot for a walk, or simply relax by the indoor pool. Later in the afternoon, there's often a cacao ceremony and a movement session, before moving into the gentle, restorative Yin and Nidra practices in the early evening.

The weekend is designed to give you both active energy and deep rest. Unlike a packed, activity-filled holiday, this retreat gives you permission to do very little. There's a silent disco dance session one evening, which is more fun than it sounds – a chance to let loose in your own private bubble. The whole experience has a supportive, sociable feel without being overwhelming, making it just as easy to find solitude as it is to connect with the group.

Nicole, who leads the retreats at Soul Space, has been teaching for many years. She trained in Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Yin, and Sound Therapy, and her classes blend these styles to feel both energising and calming. She's known for her approachable teaching style, and guests consistently mention how welcome she makes them feel, whatever their level.
