Situated on the borders of Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Cheshire in a distinctive accommodation in the heart of the Peak District, join Kate Kearns, Senior Yoga Teacher and Sound Healing Practitioner with guest yoga teachers and holistic therapists for an exclusive, all-inclusive weekend yoga retreat, in a luxury 4-star B&B. A former Silk Spinning Mill in the 1700’s and full of history.
Set among some of the Peak Districts most beautiful scenery, in a wooded valley, along-side the bank of the River Dane with walks on our doorstep through meadows and forests to the Roaches and Lud’s Church.
This Mindfulness weekend is filled with nourishing, soothing, energising and grounding yoga practices to suit all levels, including Mindful Yin Yoga, Mindful Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow, Restorative/Gentle Yin with the most delicious soothing Gong Bath Sound Healing Therapy, Yoga Nidra Meditation, Pranayama, Myofascial Release as well as mindful walks to Lud’s Church a natural stone cleft sliced into the hillside above Gradbach, and further exploring of the local area.
Somatic and mindfulness practices of yoga, meditation, and sound healing (Nada Yoga) are designed to reduce stress and promote relaxation, allowing you to focus on your own wellbeing. The mindful walks to Lud's Church, provide an opportunity to connect with ourselves and with nature and take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Legend has it that Lud’s Church, a natural stone cleft sliced into the hillside above Gradbach, was the inspiration for Sir Gawain and the Green Knight – a medieval tale of chivalry, bravery, and honour.
Start you day by joining us for (optional) a morning wild water dip in the River Dane. It is said that the benefits of wild water dipping include improved circulation, increased energy levels, improved physical strength, and improved mental clarity. Additionally, the sights and sounds of being in nature can have a calming and restorative effect, helping reduce stress and anxiety as we breath ourselves into the refreshing and revitalising flowing waters and once settled (yes having got other the initial shock) allow your heightened senses to take in the views of the beautiful landscape and feel even closer to nature.
Delicious home-cooked vegetarian food and plenty of it, combined with fresh air and a chance to explore, can help to reduce stress levels, and promote relaxation. The stunning location, yoga and somatic, mindfulness and sound healing practices including a mindful walk in the countryside can be calming and uplifting. The weekend provides a much needed physical, mental, and emotional re-charge from your daily life.
