3 Day Weekend Yoga Holiday in the Lake District with Paddleboarding, Walking and Wilderness
Nab Cottage, Rydal, Ambleside, LA22 9SD, UK
The Wild Times Long Weekend Yoga Holiday in UK
Expert tip: This is one of the most popular yoga retreats offered in the United Kingdom.
The Wild Times is all about creating magical, memorable experiences in nature - a chance to deeply relax, explore, get grounded and rewild.
The Wild Times Founder Jen would love for you to join her on this weekend in the Lake District. She believes in the healing power of nature; that we could all do with more time spent in it, as well as more time to slow down and deeply rest. She also believes in the power of exploration, adventure, trying new things, and pushing yourself (just a little bit!) outside of your comfort zone. She hopes these Wild Times long weekends offer you plenty of both and leave you well-rested, soul-nourished, and a little bit wilder.

Accommodation
Check-in Time:

The 16th-century cottage overlooks Rydal Water, it is located right in the heart of the Lake District. You can walk straight out and up mountains behind, or hop across the road into the lake for a wild swim.
Some of the great things include a sauna, lake views, a separate yoga barn with a log burner, a piano, a fire pit outside, and cozy nooks to read in.
The rooms will be allocated on a first come first serve basis. They are twin or double (mostly en-suite) bedrooms, individually furnished, warm and cozy. The rooms at the front overlook the lake and those at the back are quieter with views up to Nab Scar.
