Quality and value for money retreat.

I have just returned from my first yoga retreat at the Yorkshire Centre for Wellbeing feeling refreshed and renewed !

I was initially quite apprehensive being a beginner to yoga, but the warm welcome I received from both Anne-Marie and James helped allay my nerves.

I can thoroughly recommend the centre for all levels since the instructors

are both extremely experienced and knowledgeable, encouraging participation without any pressure and guiding you to do what you can whilst listening to your body!

Their beautiful family home is both spacious and very comfortable, set on a quiet tree lined road creating the ideal environment for relaxation.

The freshly cooked vegetarian meals were equally delicious and satisfying.

I learned so much in the seminars about the Ayurveda lifestyle and have taken away lots of small but simple changes that I can easily introduce to my daily routine.

I can highly recommend the centre for a place to relax, reflect and unwind and in my opinion is excellent value for money.

Wonderful and welcoming yoga retreat :)

Loved the hospitality of hosts (Anne-Marie and James). The accommodation and the food was lovely.

This was my first time I've been to a retreat like this and have learn more about yoga, meditation and Ayurveda, a practice which I've continued since leaving on Monday.

Also, I've never been to an event like this whereby all the other guests who attended were welcoming and friendly. This gave off an amazing positive vibe and mindset, which is still in place now.

Thank you Anne Marie and James for a wonderful weekend retreat :)

The 4-day yoga retreat at the Yorkshire Centre For Wellbeing

The four day retreat over the August bank holiday was fantastic. It was exactly what I needed to reconnect with my yoga practice, which has been intermittent for years!

The four day programme was very holistic with many Yoga classes, which was exactly what I wanted. I found that both Anne-Marie and James were encouraging and patient with everyone, yet focussed on teaching and supporting everyone, not just me, in a person centred way. I cannot praise their yoga expertise and teaching, together with their warm and generous hospitality. All of which were excellent!

Amazing retreat - highly recommend!

The yoga and meditation sessions and workshops were all excellent. Anne-Marie and James were extremely supportive and welcoming - it was a very special weekend in a beautiful setting. I learned a lot about ayurveda, had some amazing massage treatments with Kelly-Anne and left feeling rejuvenated - I will definitely be returning!

Fantastic yoga retreat

A fantastic yoga retreat with very friendly and knowledgeable yoga teachers. I highly recommend. I have learnt not only more about yoga but also about the Ayurvedic philosophy and ways to improve general well being. It was a perfect way to start the new year as I now feel more grounded and inspired. Looking forward to returning in the near future!

A wonderful yoga retreat

The teachers were evidently extremely knowledgeable about yoga- and had a very holistic practise due to their extensive study of yoga & health and well-being in general.

The retreat was relaxed, and we were made to feel very much at home.

The accommodation was spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

The best way to refresh and restore

I loved the fact that despite not being very experienced at yoga, I could take part in all the classes as they can be adapted. I learnt so much about important daily practises and about myself. The extra workshops are fascinating and there is time to walk or use a Soundwave chair if you wish, in addition to the other activities. The hosts are very warm and welcoming and have a lovely home.

La retraite s'est très bien déroulée. En tant que débutante, j'ai rencontré des personnes à l'écoute, disponibles et patientes. Ils m'ont transmis l'envie d'aller plus loin, de continuer cette démarche philosophique. La durée de la retraite était idéale car les activités prennent beaucoup d'énergie. Je recommande vivement ce stage. Un moment hors du temps.
