Spend an Autumn weekend in the Yorkshire Dales at historic Patrick Brompton Hall, surrounded by open countryside and fresh green fields.

You are invited to join a small group to share yoga, walking and group meditations alongside rlaxation time in the Dales during this beautiful Autumn season.

Early October in the Dales brings a riot of colour across the landscape. Leaves are turning and trees are sighing as they sway – aware that they must let go of their canopies in order to hibernate for winter. But trees trust. Their leaves will return, buds open next Spring when winter is over and birds fill the air with song.

Over the weekend you will move, breathe and rest within this landscape. Kundalini yoga awakens inner energy, fresh air fills the lungs, gong baths bring deep rest, and guided walks place you in direct contact with the land.

We are your guides

What to expect in the yoga sessions

Emma is an experienced senior yoga teacher with over ten years of leading yoga retreat weekends. Her approach is embodied, transformational, and accessible to ordinary bodies. Her philosophy is altogether simple: “We do what we can do on the mat and feel good about it.”

Each session includes yoga, breathwork, a gong relaxation, and a dharma teaching to deepen your understanding of the practice beyond physical postures. Classes are accompanied by music, sacred chants, and mellow tunes, creating a supportive and reflective atmosphere.

Emma invites you, with Laura and Lorna

Emma invites you to absolutely to experience yoga as more than something you do. Your mat becomes a space to connect with yourself, step out of your busy mind, and simply be.

Laura will offer group meditation sessions that compliment the yoga alongside her one-to-one sessions. Laura is an experienced spiritual healer and women’s group leader.

Lorna is an experienced Dales walking guide and we will also learn about the landscape and its history whilst we walk.

Claire invites you to eat with the season and in light (not strict) influences from Ayurvedic dietary principles.

Finally we will see this weekend as a time to regather and reflect on our year and accordingly prepare ourselves for the cocoon of winter.

Above all, this weekend is perfect for all body levels (except chair yoga level) – no prior yoga experience needed. Suitable for beginners and regular practitioners seeking a refreshing Autumn getaway.
