Winter Wellness: Cosy Yorkshire Retreat

Nothing says Winter like log fires, yoga with socks on and crisp winter walks, around a hidden lodge in the beautiful Yorkshire Countryside…

   

So that’s exactly we’re giving you! League Collective is multifunctional, ‘in for the long run’, a lifestyle that lives from the land and roams from the city to the sea and everywhere in between… And with all that, we need rest. Rest from the busy streets, the grind, the mind.

Come and join us for a long weekend of yoga, country walks, runs and fresh air with League Collective founder and yoga teacher, Lilly. On the 22-24th November, come back to the roots and relax in a tranquil space where it all began, and eat the most nutritious food you could ever imagine.

 

What to expect:

Surrounded by nature in the heart of North Yorkshire, we’re taking you on your great escape to the countryside, with food grown on the farm, luxury ensuite bedrooms and bathroom and log fires. Join us at Maidensworth Farm, on the 22-24th November, and set yourself up for Christmas.

    

These 3 days are your very own to ‘reset’ to your natural rhythm, to take stock, and give yourself some thinking time for the year ahead. We have a day of activities and relaxation planned for you, however you are also most welcome to stay in bed all day, or get away and explore the surrounding forests whenever you feel like it:

After the success of our Mallorca retreats, we thought why not bring it home, reduce the travel cost/flight emissions and increase the relaxation?
