Yoga Retreat & Yoga Days in Whitby
Yoga Retreat in Whitby, North Yorkshire
We are not far from Whitby, on the North Yorkshire Coast, nestled in protected woodland, between the moors and the sea. Aptly named Valley View, our site is a wildlife haven, an ecological microcosm, and a tranquil and beautiful place to stay. The moment we saw Valley View we knew it was the perfect place for yoga and wellness retreats in North Yorkshire.
Whether you simply want some time away because the pressures of ‘normal’ life are taking their toll, or you seek some answers from a more focussed style of retreat we welcome you to spend time with us. We offer a variety of yoga styles, accessible to all. Our Ayurvedic wellness workshops help you work with your individual mind body type and enhance gut health. All our retreats include guided relaxation and meditation, a transformative and healing sound and gong bath, and a mindful woodland night walk. Our plant based food is grown on site and we enjoy showing you our permaculture principles and sharing some plant based recipes. All this and plenty of time to enjoy the healing powers of nature.
Mark and I moved to this special place to fulfil our dream to create an environment where people could find time and space to rest and restore. 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.
With love and light,
Lorraine

What people say…
Aerial Yoga Whitby
We are excited to add aerial yoga to our menu. Aerial yoga is a total body workout which tones muscles and regenerates and strengthens joints. It improves flexibility and is amazingly helpful where there is an imbalance in the body. When you are upside down the spine is given a chance to decompress. Aerial has psychological benefits too… how better to clear the mind than hang upside down? And it is great fun – a true mood enhancer.
For aerial newcomers, achieving an inversion in the aerial hammock at the culmination of every class, is a great sense of achievement. And it is only the beginning of a really fun experience.
The hammock can also be used to support and stretch. Because of the support it provides it often allows a movement that you may not have been able to manage on the floor. And it is great for balancing postures.
Whitby Yoga Holidays
If you would like to combine a holiday in one of our secluded log cabins with a combination of private and group yoga then we can offer a package just for you.
First choose your accommodation from our sister company Whitby Log Cabins then contact us to discuss potential dates when we may be able to arrange a yoga and relaxation programme. There is usually a chance to join four studio classes a week and we can add private sessions too.
Yoga Classes
Due to demand from students living locally we run a small number of weekly classes, both a flow/hatha/mixed movement class and a Kundalini style, on a membership basis. We also offer two online classes a week open to all regulars.
We are unique in offering Aerial Yoga sessions in Whitby. We only have six students in these classes so its a great environment for this fun experience. Click on the links for more details.
Purpose built for yoga, our studio is jewel of the Valley View site. It is light and airy with plenty of room allowing us to use a variety of mat formations depending on the style of the class. Fully insulated and always warm, there is also a back up heating system for very cold days.
The studio has a stylish mezzanine floor for group relaxation or workshops. It has a small kitchen area with fridge and sink and we always provide a selection of teas. The views of the woodland and stream beyond are breathtaking.
Students are welcome to use the relaxation area pre and post class.
