Silent Retreat Day at YogaSpace Yorkshire
Saturday 28 February 2026
YogaSpace Yorkshire, near Bedale, North Yorkshire
9.30am–5.00pm
Arrivals from 9.30am for coffee.
At 10.00am, the day begins with a yoga class, followed by a full day of silent practice.
At the end of the day, we break silence to share tea and refreshments together.
This one-day retreat offers a quiet, supportive space to step back from daily demands.
The day begins with yoga to settle the body and mind. Then, the remainder of the day takes place in silence.
During the day, we reduce external input and practise attention, rest, and awareness of the breath.
About your teacher and guide, Emma Ropner
Emma leads this one-day retreat. She is a senior certified Kundalini yoga teacher, experienced retreat leader, gong player, and women’s facilitator. Emma carefully designs the morning preparatory yoga practice to support the rhythm and intention of the day ahead. She completed her principal training through the Karam Kriya School.
In addition, Emma has completed certified trainings in Yin, Sound, Yoga for Cancer, Mindfulness, Mandala Vinyasa Flow, Children’s Yoga, and Yoga Nidra. She undertook these trainings with Yoga Alliance teachers in the UK and the USA and continues to receive support from a spiritual supervisor. Emma’s teaching philosophy recognises the teacher as a guide only. She believes the greatest teacher exists within our own centre of being and becomes clear when we take time for silence and listening.
