Why We Created This YogA Retreat
Made for Mindful Minds
We designed this retreat so both first-timers and seasoned hikers can conquer a true bucket-list climb. With experienced guides setting a steady, supportive pace, Scafell Pike, England’s highest and part of the National Three Peaks, anchors your weekend. If you’ve done our Snowdon (Eryri) hike, this is the natural next step.
UNIQUE YOGA AND walking RETREAT
Our Lake District Yoga and Walking Retreat offers an unmatched experience with direct access to iconic trails from the shores of Windermere. Led by qualified mountain leaders, you’ll explore hidden valleys, airy ridgelines and waterfall-packed ghylls. Each hike is paired with restorative yoga to aid recovery, improve mobility and deepen your connection to nature. This retreat blends adventure and ease, with luxury accommodation for a truly transformative stay.
Dates
May 1-4, 2026
May brings prime walking in the Lake District: longer days, fresh greens, bluebells and lambs on the fells. Paths begin to dry, waterfalls still lively from spring rain. Expect mild temperatures, changeable skies and clarity after showers. Enjoy quieter trails than summer, with varied routes from lakeside ambles to ridges.
ACCOMMODATION
3 luxury nights
Stay at Silverholme Manor, a luxurious 5-star eco-friendly Georgian house located near Ambleside on the shores of Lake Windermere. Nestled within the stunning Graythwaite Estate, this exclusive retreat offers elegant en-suite rooms with views of the lake or the woodland. Enjoy private lake access, perfect for daily wild swims, and experience a blend of luxury and tranquility.
Food
All meals included
Indulge in a nourishing plant-based menu designed to fuel your body and mind and complement your active, wellness-focused retreat. Enjoy seasonal vegan meals, fresh juices, and wholesome snacks. Each meal is crafted to support well-being after your wild swimming and yoga sessions. All our retreats are alcohol-free.
Activities
Walking
Guided by experienced mountain leaders, our fun, walking experiences focus on connecting with the landscape and reaching a signature summit. Over the weekend, you’ll enjoy the very best of the Lake District, including our headline hike on Saturday: Scafell Pike, England’s highest peak. Immerse yourself in nature and return feeling truly rejuvenated from your epic walks and cold water lake dips.
Activities
Yoga
Daily yoga practices will energise and restore your body, with morning vinyasa flow sessions to awaken and evening restorative yoga to relax. Each session is designed to complement the physical benefits of wild swimming, focusing on breath work, alignment, and deep relaxation. It is the perfect complement to your wellness retreat experience.
treatments
Massage
Indulge in optional holistic treatments, including massage therapies with organic oils to soothe muscles, ease tension, and promote deep relaxation. These treatments are available at an additional cost, offering the perfect opportunity to unwind and enhance your recovery after your walks.

I love the whole retreat from the food, to the yoga, to the guided walks.
I particularly liked how the yoga was adapted to be different each session and the partner yoga was fun on the last day!
Thanks again for a super weekend.
