​

The broad itinerary is below. There may be some tweaks and we can extend or amend things on the day. Please contact if you are interested in making a booking and would like to see a more detailed itinerary. The walk will be weather-dependent and may move to Saturday if the forecast is better for that day. All offerings and activities are optional – opt in and out as much as you want – though we would ask that when activities are taking place at the property that you have chosen not to join you are respectful of this.

​

The room options and pricings for these are below. The annexe option is particularly good for a couple or friends who would welcome some additional private space. The main bedroom and second bedroom have fixed king sized beds so there is no twin option for those.

​

All food is homecooked and vegetarian. Please contact if you would like a sample menu. Please make us aware of any allergies and other dietary requirements at the time of booking.

​

Friday

Arrival from 5pm.

We will serve a healthful and tasty vegetarian two-course meal. There will follow time for settling in, welcome and orientation and preparation for sleep including pranayama, stretching and meditation.

​

Saturday and Sunday

Each day will begin with a morning yoga practice involving asana, pranayama, meditation. Morning practice is 90 minutes, accessible to all levels including those new to yoga practice and followed by a nourishing, delicious vegetarian brunch. Tea and snacks are also available to enjoy at any time.

There will be an optional workshop held each day on subjects such as the 8 limbs of yoga, practical philosophy, Aum and mantra chanting, meditation in support of forming positive habits, all with a focus on developing understanding and practical knowledge to take away. These will be informal group chats led by Mike designed to introduce you to or deepen your understanding of these subjects, as well as an opportunity to share your own knowledge.

On Sunday afternoon, we are offering a group walk in picturesque Wensleydale, around a 20-minute drive from the accommodation.

We will serve a delicious, nutritious, vegetarian two-course evening meal on both weekend days.

In the evenings, you will experience a soothing sound immersion (Sat) and yoga nidra (Sun), both of which among their many benefits will prepare you for a deep, restful sleep.

Free time is built into the itinerary and of course you may chose to extend this depending on the activities you would prefer to join. If you are not familiar with the area, we will offer advice and guidance on where you might like to visit or spend some time, or you might chose simply to enjoy the luxury accommodation and peaceful surroundings at the New York Public Library.

​

Monday is check-out day and a breakfast buffet will be provided.
