The weekend

The weekend will consist of a meditation and yoga session each morning. There will be a choice of a mindful hatha class with Leonie or a Jivamukti (yoga flow) class with Tara. There will be an opportunity on Saturday afternoon to get out and explore the beautiful countryside on a lovely long walk, where we pass ancient stone monuments and an Andy Goldsworthy sculpture. There will be a much needed deep relaxation and light massage session after the walk. Throughout the weekend there will be plenty of homemade food to enjoy. Feel free to bring a bottle of wine, put your feet up and relax in the peaceful surroundings with good company.

The Venue

Fawcett Mill Fields is perhaps one of the best-kept secrets in the Lake District. It is an absolutely astonishing place, the perfect venue for a yoga retreat. The Mill dates back to 1517 and has been patiently restored over many years to retain original features in stone and oak. It is set in 5 acres of woodland that boast a wildlife garden, herbaceous borders and a large lawn. To see for yourself please visit their website on www.fmf.freeservers.com.

The bedrooms at the Mill are bright, charming, comfy and clean – there are 3 double en-suites, 2 double rooms, 5 twin rooms and 1 triple (a twin and a double) The rooms will be allocated on a first come first served basis or on a request to share.

There is also a 4 person sauna for that post yoga sweat and a couple of sitting rooms with open log fires for rest and relaxation.
