The “Ashtanga Wanderer” retreat in the English Lake District is a unique blend of dynamic yoga practice and exhilarating mountaineering in one of Britain’s most stunning natural landscapes. Designed for adventurers and yoga enthusiasts alike, this retreat focuses on the Ashtanga yoga tradition, known for its flowing sequences and meditative breathwork. Mornings start with energising Ashtanga sessions in a cosy bunkhouse where participants can connect deeply with their breath while surrounded by sweeping views of majestic mountains and tranquil waters. Guided by Marque & Jake, these classes will address individual concerns and needs, making them accessible for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike.

After a delicious brunch we will head off to explore the Lake District’s dramatic terrain. Guided mountaineering adventures will take participants up iconic peaks like Scafell Pike or Helvellyn, traversing rugged trails and ridgelines. Along the way, there are moments to pause and soak in the serene beauty of glacial lakes, ancient woodlands, and expansive valleys. Each climb is an opportunity to practice mindfulness in motion, blending the discipline of yoga with the thrill of outdoor adventure. Evenings conclude with hearty, locally sourced meals and fireside storytelling, creating a sense of community and shared accomplishment. The “Ashtanga Wanderer” retreat offers not just a physical journey but a soulful exploration of balance, resilience, and connection with nature.
