What you'll do

For many years I led yoga and walking holidays. I'm so pleased to be back offering this - with my additional loves: night walking, stargazing and forest bathing.

You're in for a real treat this long weekend. Heading into the twilight time of the year, it's a chance to let go of that 'to do' list and bring yourself back to this precious moment. Stretch your body (gently), reconnect with nature at a deeper level and embrace the dark skies above you too.

You'll learn many techniques and tools you'll be able to use in your everyday life - just where you need them. Taste wonderful food specially prepared by our fantastic cook - Andrea - who is also a brilliant nutritional therapist. Rest deeply in luxurious, comfortable surroundings where every detail has been thought of.

Above all, it's a wonderful way to share your experiences with other like-minded people which is rich and rewarding in itself.

Please note all activity is optional. You can join in or dip out as much as you like. So if you need to rest instead of walking etc, you're in the perfect place.

Here's what I've got planned for your weekend:

FRIDAY NIGHT

• Welcome
• Sleep yoga (Yoga Nidra) - after dinner

SATURDAY

• Gentle morning yoga and meditation before breakfast
• After breakfast, a 2 mile (approx.) soothing, nature walk (including forest bathing). Packed lunch while out.
• After dinner, a night walk (5 - 6 miles) onto the moors led by an experienced Mountain Leader. Fingers crossed we'll see stars - and if we do, we'll do a spot of stargazing (with a bit of a difference). But even if we don't, night walking is amazingly good for you. Take a look at this blog.

SUNDAY

• Morning yoga and meditation before breakfast (slightly later start - well it is a Sunday afterall!)
• After breakfast, a gentle 4 mile (approx.) contemplative, nature walk. Packed lunch while out.
• After dinner, a saunter away from the village lights to do a spot of stargazing. If weather inclement, I'll do an after-walk, gentle yoga session to stretch out stiff muscles
• Finish the evening with a Yoga Nidra so you'll sleep well

MONDAY

• Morning yoga and meditation before breakfast

Walk and yoga information

There are hills, mud and rough ground on these walks, so a good basic level of fitness will make this experience more comfortable for you BUT I try to cater for all levels as best I can. Please contact me if you have any questions about this.

In terms of my yoga experience, I prefer gentle, simplicity and slow so people can take what they've learnt home. Yoga is a powerful tool when you practise regularly, so hopefully you'll learn a few things to help. Please see this page for more information on my yoga and mindfulness experience.
