WHY WE CREATED THIS RETREAT
Designed for walkers who long to explore the dramatic beauty of the Yorkshire Dales
Discover the wild beauty of the Yorkshire Dales on this restorative walking and yoga retreat. Our newest retreat venue, Telfit Farm, is set deep in the Swaledale Valley, one of the most unspoilt corners of the Dales. With rolling green hills, winding rivers, and wide-open skies, it’s a place that immediately invites you to breathe more deeply and slow your pace.
UNIQUE YOGA RETREATS
This retreat is the perfect balance of daily yoga, guided walks in the Yorkshire Dales, nourishing plant-based food, and time to rest and recharge. Whether you’re joining us for your very first yoga retreat in Yorkshire or are a returning Zest Life guest, this weekend is designed to restore body, mind, and spirit.
Dates
March 6-9
Early spring in the Yorkshire Dales is a season of renewal, with the first signs of green returning to the hillsides, lambs beginning to appear in the fields, and crisp, clear skies offering far-reaching views across the valleys. We chose these dates to capture the freshness and vitality of the landscape at this time of year, a perfect backdrop for rest, reflection, and new beginnings.
ACCOMMODATION
3 luxury nights
Your retreat home is Telfit Farm, a beautifully restored farmhouse in the heart of Swaledale. Set within 50 acres of private land, it combines rustic charm with modern comforts. Bedrooms are comfortable, with private or shared options. Lounges and corners to unwind. Windows frame sweeping hills, your peaceful haven after yoga and walks.
Food
All meals included
Meals on retreat are freshly prepared by our talented chefs, using seasonal, locally sourced, and entirely plant-based ingredients. Expect colourful, wholesome dishes designed to nourish and restore you from the inside out. Breakfasts are energising, lunches hearty and satisfying, and evening suppers comforting and full of flavour. Snacks, fruit, and herbal teas are always available.
Activities
Walking
Walking is central to this retreat, with guided routes into the Yorkshire Dales. From gentle riverside strolls to moorland climbs with sweeping views, each walk encourages mindful movement. You will love feeling active and free in this stunning landscape, especially when your walk is followed by a cool river dip and some time in the hot tub.
Activities
Yoga
Yoga sets your daily rhythm: energising mornings and calming evenings. Practices complement walking, building strength, improving flexibility and easing tension. Mornings offer dynamic flows to prepare for time outdoors; evenings focus on slower, restorative postures to soothe tired muscles. Suitable for beginners and experienced yogis.
treatments
Massage
Enhance relaxation with bookable therapeutic massages during your stay. Experienced therapists treat you in calm, nurturing spaces at Telfit. Sessions ease tired walking muscles, release built up tension and encourage deep rest. Many guests find a massage helps them fully let go, leaving body and mind lighter, calmer and restored.
Held in stunning Yorkshire
Yorkshire Dales, with its rolling green hills, winding valleys, and timeless stone villages, is one of the most captivating landscapes in England. Swaledale, where our retreat is based, offers wide-open skies, peaceful meadows, and dramatic moorland views. Its unspoilt natural beauty makes it the ideal setting for walking and yoga retreats in Yorkshire, providing space to slow down, reconnect with nature, and restore inner balance.

I’ve been on several retreats with different companies, but nothing has come close to ZestLife. From arrival I felt cared for. Laura’s professionalism and knowledge are exceptional—her yoga is inspiring and every detail runs seamlessly. The blend of yoga, walking and nourishing food was perfect. Few retreats balance rest and activity so well; I left feeling both energised and restored.”
