About The Retreat
This Autumn escape is located in the Lake District, UK, set in a quiet, elevated position with panoramic views over Lake Windermere. The estate is surrounded by 80 acres of its own private grounds and is in total harmony with nature with an on-site vegetable and herb garden. This weekend escape speaks to the senses, being totally immersed in nature with hikes available from your doorstep to wander and enjoy the surroundings in between classes. You will be staying at Yewfield Manor set in a quiet and elevated estate position with panoramic views over the Vale of Esthwaite and Lake Windermere. The Manor dates back to 1859, is rich in history and known for its enchanting Gothic Architecture. The rooms are all individually styled with Victorian interiors featuring ornate details, artwork & large windows. All rooms will be serviced daily and have an ensuite bathroom. The light-filled indoor yoga shala has wooden floorboards and floor-to-ceiling windows to feel fully immersed in nature and tranquillity. The calm, serene location will allow you to drop into deep relaxation, escape the daily grind and unwind with nature. We will enjoy morning flow practices and restorative evening practices, yin and sound healing to nourish the body, mind and soul from the inside out. We believe a retreat is only as good as the food! Each meal will be made using fresh and local produce which is primarily grown on-site at the Yewfield vegetable and herb garden. Yewfield is a bed & breakfast showcasing plant-based dishes that will nourish your body and mind. A retreat to escape the hustle and bustle, restore your body, mind and spirit and reconnect with nature. Together, we will unwind, reconnect, and “retreat” ourselves. We love yoga, we love to travel to dreamy places and create magic that happens only on a retreat!

Frequently Asked Questions
What food can I expect on retreat?
Only the best! We love food and it is such an important part of the retreat experience. We work with our venues to curate a beautiful menu of fresh and local cuisines. Typically meals are communal and a time to connect and share. If you have any dietary or medical considerations, please let us know in your booking form.
Are flight and airport transfers included?
Flights and transfers are not included in the retreat price.
How do I get to the retreat venue?
Yewfield is located at Hawkshead Hill in the Lake District, a 14km drive from Windermere Train Station. Trains are easily accessible from London to Windermere and take 3-4hrs. For booking and prices visit https://www.thetrainline.com. The closest airports are Manchester and Newcastle.
What should I bring?
We will provide you with a suggested packing list for each retreat. We always recommend sunscreen, hat, walking shoes, journal, reusable water bottle and of course, comfortable athletic wear for duration of your retreat. You will need to bring your own yoga mat on retreat.
Who is this retreat for?
Our retreats are available to anyone who is wanting to take a week off from their busy life and experience a week of yoga, nourishing food and connect with like minded people in the most dreamy places. Whether you’re a regular practitioner or new to yoga, you’re all welcome and will be fully supported. We will be moving our bodies a lot on retreat so please let us know in your booking form if you have any injuries, health conditions or recent surgeries so we can cater for you.
Do I need to have a regular yoga practice to attend?
All of our retreats are availale to the beginner yogi to the advanced and the non-yogi partner or friend that is brand new to yoga. We are all about inclusivity and inspiring people to live their lives to the fullest in a healthy way.
Can I come alone?
Absolutely! A yoga retreat is a great place to make new friends and meet like minded people. You are welcome to book a single room or we can pair you up with other solo travellers for a shared room (double room) if available. If for some reason there is no one to pair you with for a shared room, you would need to pay for a single room.
How many people will be on the retreat?
The group size varies depending on the destination and venue. Typically our experiences average between 12 - 20 people. We love to create an intimate environment to create community while still giving you the freedom to be able to do your own thing when you like.

I have been on two retreats with Amy and both times have come home having had an amazing experience and spent time with lovely people. Amy and Janet are incredibly thoughtful and have a real knack for creating an environment where everyone feels comfortable, looked after and included regardless of their level. I would thoroughly recommend Amy's retreats.

Wow, wow, wow! This was my second of Amy's retreats and boy was it amazing! Janet & Amy have the wonderful ability to bring a group of people together and turn them into a family. I left feeling completely unravelled, refreshed & calm. Can’t wait for my third!

Amy and Janet are true professionals! There was so much thought and attention to detail put into every part of the retreat. The accommodation was luxurious, the people were amazing and the yoga practice was the best I have experienced. Can't wait until next time.
