Yoga retreats in North Yorkshire
Covid 19 – update: We have just started taking provisional bookings for July (see below)……
And if you would like to get a feel for the yoga at Valley View I am also offering online Seasonal yoga classes
Yogandspice at Valley View
We are not far from Whitby, on the North Yorkshire Coast, nestled in protected woodland, between the moors and the sea, Valley View is a wildlife haven, an ecological microcosm and a tranquil and beautiful place to stay.
Whether you simply want some time away because the pressures of ‘normal’ life are taking their toll, or you seek a more focussed style retreat with yoga, guided relaxation, plant based food workshops or even a detox, we welcome you to spend time with us.
Mark and I moved to this special place to fulfil our dream and offer small group and individual yoga retreats or alternative holidays. Our guests can enjoy the healing power of nature and of home grown seasonal produce. We have a number of complementary qualifications between us to enhance your experience or help you rebalance or move forward if wanted.
Our yoga retreats in North Yorkshire
As we are first and foremost a yoga retreat centre we are able to offer stays of varying lengths. So although we offer mainly weekend retreats to fit round the usual working week, you can always extend your stay.
If the idea of a retreat centre is a little daunting to you, check out some dictionary definitions:
Retreat (n): ‘move back; withdraw from position; quiet time; quiet place; safe place; period of seclusion, flag lowering ceremony!’
‘ Holding the fort’ can be exhausting sometimes. We’ve been there ourselves, and taken some knocks. Now we are finding a way forward through living in a simpler and more connected way.
We would love it if you chose to spend some time at Valley View. If you do choose to step back a little you could be amazed by what you see.

Update on our yoga retreat calendar
We hope to open for individual and small group retreats in July, government guidelines permitting. Therefore we are now taking provisional bookings.
Yoga and walking is a midweek break in July. All walks are direct from our site at Valley View and include dramatic cliff tops, historic woodland, meadows and much more. 
The yoga is suitable for beginners but also provides a good warm up, cool down and relaxation for more experienced yogis
OurWhitby yoga holiday in August is a great way to combine some quality time in an amazing area with an introduction to y0ga or deepen your practice. Beginners welcome as are non yoga partners.

And what better way to prepare for next winter than a Women’s wellness retreat. As well as yoga practices specifically for women’s health this retreat covers food, wellbeing and immunity. Lifestyle tips from both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda are woven into all classes.
Our accommodation is in secluded cabins, with the option of single occupancy of an ensuite room. The generous size of our studio, and separate tables in our dining area allows for a high degree of social distancing.
