The powerful practice of yoga can transform your life.

Celebrate the winter solstice and practise as the sun rises on the shortest day of the year. And/or start off the Christmas period with a group self practice and breakfast, a little bit of space for yourselves before the chaos begins!

Wednesday, December 21st - 9.30am

Christmas Eve, Saturday 8 - 10 am

A year long immersion into the Ashtanga yoga practice and what it means for you.

The Ashtanga Yoga Primary series and it’s component parts will form the foundation of our course with optional modules in Pranayama , Zen Meditation , Chanting , Ashtanga Yoga Intermediate Postures and East/West Spiritual Paths

Put some energy back into your practice as we move into spring, spend time in the beautiful lake district fells, hiking, rock climbing, swimming in lakes and tarns, chatting, journaling, relaxing by the fire or in the sauna and hot tub. 

A week of Ashtanga yoga and much needed sunshine in this beautiful yoga retreat centre. YogApulia is a boutique retreat centre exclusively for yoga and meditation practice, set up and run by dedicated Ashtanga yoga practitioners Mark & Nicola. Their intention is to create an intimate space in tune with the natural rhythm of nature  where guests can escape from the demands of the modern world to deepen their practice in the beautiful, peaceful setting of the Valle d’Itria in Apulia, Southern Italy.

In 2022 we spent a long weekend at Barmoor right at the beginning of spring, just as we started to emerge from winter. This time we'll be there at the height of summer - just before the summer solstice. We'll make the most of the long light days with morning yoga practices, hikes out into the north yorkshire moors, exploring just that little bit further afield to find cold swimming spots, early evening techniques workshops and evening hikes up the hill behind the house to watch the sun set. Nourished by fantastci seasonal plant based food.

For those who just need to do a bit less this is the perfect spot to chill out in, a big Victorian house, windows overlooking the moors, big gardens surrounding us and the pretty village of Hutton-le-Hole a short stroll away. Do as much or as little as you need to do - this is your mid summer escape.

From London, Philippa Asher is one of a few Ashtanga yoga practitioners in the world (and the only British woman), to be certified by Sri K Pattabhi Jois, to teach the Ashtanga yoga method in his tradition. She lives and teaches in London but travales all over the world sharing her love of the practice. Come and join her for an inspiring weekend of practice.

A weeknd of escape and adventure giving you time and space to explore the rite of passage and the power that is menopause. Ashtanga yoga, general yoga, rock climbing, hiking, wild swimming, journaling, discussion, saunas and more....
