A Stunning Venue

The Tree is a beautiful retreat venue in North Yorkshire (Rosedale, YO18 8RH). It is surrounded by stunning countryside, with a gorgeously light and airy yoga studio space. There are lots of added extras for your enjoyment (hot tub overlooking Yorkshire moorland anyone?!), and delicious home-cooked vegetarian meals and treats.

All allergies and diets can be catered for so please let me know on your booking form if you have any special dietary requirements. 

I am also always happy to accommodate different physical abilities where possible, but PLEASE BE AWARE that The Tree Retreat Centre is in a charming set of old buildings that include some steep staircases and narrow passageways and as such is unfortunately not a suitable venue for those with extreme or serious mobility issues. Please check with your GP that you are well enough to attend the retreat. My retreats are aimed at beginners and experienced practitioners alike, but if you are unsure, it's best to check.

Your Hosts

I (Laura!) will be designing teaching the majority of your Summer Serenity Retreat. For those that don't know me, my sessions are always designed to be accessible, enjoyable, and inspiring. My passion is bringing deeper meaning to our practices, as well as allowing people to explore finding the best ways to practice for their own individual bodies, minds, and hearts.

I'm thrilled to announce that I will be joined by the wonderful Susan Lodge at this retreat. Susan will be delivering a Hatha Yoga session for us on the Sunday morning. I'm confident that those who enjoy my own classes, will love Susan's session! Trained under the same school of yoga, we share a passion for slow, gentle, accessible yoga practices that encourage a meaningful connection with your body, mind, and heart. 

And I am also excited to share that Edward, owner of The Tree, has kindly agreed to offer us a Gong Bath using the Earth Gong on the Saturday evening. Edward is a very experienced yoga teacher and Gong player, and this promises to be a wonderful experience for us all.

Investment

The Tree Relaxation Retreat Centre comprises two charming converted old buildings; the Main House where meals are cooked and served, and the Chapel next door where the Yoga Studio is located. Both have comfortable accommodation and cosy communal relaxation areas too.
