Yogaspace Yorkshire Retreats
What you can expect on retreat
Weekend residential retreats start from 3 or 4pm on Friday and finish around 2pm on Sunday.
Our retreats are perfect for beginners and the more experienced as adjustments are made by the teachers for individual abilities.
The retreat timetable depends on the retreat leader or facilitator. Retreats may be led by our own in-house team or be led by visiting yoga teachers. Below there is a sample timetable of a weekend retreat. They run from a Friday tea time arrival until early Sunday afternoon
We do not offer 3 night retreats as a rule. We do hold self-catering retreats between Monday and Friday (4 nights) using our cottage accommodation that has equipped kitchens and the total number sleeps 8. Visit www.dalesendcottages.co.uk to see our cottages.
Our summer solstice retreat is often 3 nights.
In and outside relaxation
Retreat guests can enjoy the use of our indoor pool and weather permitting, our walled meditation garden, and extensive gardens and grounds. Inside PB Hall you can relax in our soft space sitting rooms where fires are lit during the winter.
We are privileged to be surrounded by acres of our own land. You can walk freely, and create mindful meditation walks in our woods, cold-water bathe in our private streams and walk to our private mini-Stonehenge Stone Circle (about a mile) where we often light a fire and hold rituals.
We have our own firewalk – if you have been trained to facilitate this process you may use this.
We have outside fire braziers for usual seated outside gathering group work.
Food
Yoga retreats are vegetarian or vegan. Our retreat chefs are mostly local and prepare the food with love and focus on your nourishment. We use local produce where we can, seasonal vegetables from our garden when we can.
The emphasis at Patrick Brompton Hall is on letting go of what no longer serves you, so that you leave here with a rejuvenated nervous system helping you withstand the pressures of our current times. Helped by nourishing meals, yoga and wellbeing practices you can find elevation and intention to go forward in your life after a retreat weekend here, deep in the Yorkshire countryside.

What do they say about Yogaspace Yorkshire?
The Women’s Group has been an amazing, welcoming, warm experience.
The positive energies and collective female wisdom has been brilliant – the thought provoking sessions followed by the yoga and final gong bath was the perfect balance – thank you Emma – and please can we do it all again!
I came on retreat and stayed at the cottages with my oldest daughter in June 2018 and January 2019.
Emma and Charlie are the perfect hosts they made us feel completely welcome in their beautiful home which sits in beautiful grounds surrounded by spectacular views of Yorkshire.
Yoga at Patrick Brompton Hall is a very special experience.
The beautiful and peaceful yoga studio is the perfect setting for yoga practice.
I have taken part in several Kundalini yoga classes during retreats at Patrick Brompton Hall and have loved all of them.
I was a novice to this particular yoga but the classes catered for all abilities and I was immediately made to feel comfortable.
I couldn’t have asked for a better start to my Kundalini yoga journey and I can’t wait to go back again soon!
To sum it up with one word: love. The best yoga retreat I have been to.
Amazing teacher, wonderful hosts, beautiful facilities, gorgeous surroundings, and delicious food.
Absolutely loved every bit of it
I have been to many different yoga retreats both in the UK and overseas and this one was by far the best.
My advice? Book it now!
I want to do your yoga Nidra class again – I slept so well. Thank you.
From the first moment of entering the beautiful hall, I knew this studio is something special. A light spacious yet so cozy and calm yoga space is hard to find. Relaxation comes naturally and yoga is so much more enjoyable in these beautiful surroundings. Emma is am amazing kundalini yoga teacher and divine when playing the gong. Her classes are challenging yet respect individual circumstances and make you feel so much better instantly. She is very knowledgeable, connects theory and practice with ease, is full of energy and positive spirit and a joy to be taught by. I truly love my kundalini yoga and gong sessions with Emma
Emma’s Kundalini classes are ‘first-class, a relaxed and professional atmosphere. Emma is fabulous teacher and really opens you to a new way of being while you show yourself self-love and care’
