Our weekend retreat program is crafted to provide an elevated experience that will rejuvenate and nourish you physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Our January retreat, located by the serene Lake Coniston in Cumbria, will concentrate on the element of water. This element, linked to the winter season, represents a time for rest and rejuvenation. Water, connected to the kidneys and bladder, embodies both life and death, symbolising the groundwork for new beginnings. Without this "dead of winter," there would be no life to emerge in spring.

Every yoga session is thoughtfully crafted to promote fluidity in both body and breath. By engaging in movement and revitalising breathing exercises, we aim to release stagnant energies, clear energy blockages, and foster balance and harmony. Each session incorporates mindfulness techniques, stress reduction strategies, and deep relaxation methods. Our practices are designed to accommodate all levels and are specifically tailored to the participants present.

Every nutritious meal prepared by our Michelin trained chef, will be carefully crafted to harmonise with the water element, supporting and perfectly aligning with your internal healing process during the retreat.

Vinyasa Flow, Kundalini, Yin Yoga Workshops & Sound Baths lead by Madeline Diaz Meiners (founder of Ananda Yoga Retreats) :

From Sanskrit ‘To place in a special way’, Vinyasa aligns a deliberate sequence of poses with the breath to strengthen our mind and body connection.  A portal into self enquiry and discovery, where the emphasis lays less on the external and more on the internal. Moving one breath, one movement in a dynamic and explorative flow to increase and move any stagnant energy within. An opportunity to reconnect, to unravel and ignite our inner fire, not to find but to reconnect with our true self.

Each practice will begin with Pranayama (breath work)and/ or Meditation to bring us into a state of introspection, before moving through carefully curated movements designed to cultivate more of an equilibrium within the body moving both functionally, creatively and playfully. Drawing upon influences of Mandala Yoga, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Rocket and yin weaved with Ancient Yogic Philosophy. A chance to deepen your practice and reconnect with yourself.

Yin works on the subconscious mind, unravelling the stuff we never truly dealt with at the opportune moment when it was held in the conscious mind. As a modern society of suppressants and consumers, we have become masterful at avoiding any kind of emotional discomfort. Over time, all our residual traumas become so deeply ingrained into the subtle fascia layers of our bodies, that they form part of the psyche, lurking deep within, waiting to be later triggered over and over again.

When you practice Yin yoga, you are creating nurturing space within the body and mind, to be present and to experience all of your emotions in full without the feeling of overwhelment. Learning the art of softening, of letting go, and allowing your emotions be present encourages the body to heal and release. Suppressing our feelings day by day becomes exhausting on the mind. Yin yoga creates an internal environment which encourages the mind and body to let go of emotions that aren't serving us well, and become aware of the things that need more of our attention. This helps work through mental blockages and find more peace, as the practice heals us deeply on a cellular level.

Kundalini Yoga is the yoga of awareness. We systematically train our mind and attune our body to hold higher frequencies of energy associated with Kundalini and consciousness, releasing blockages to the reservoirs of untapped energy within us, balancing the subtle systems of nadis (energy channels) and realigning the chakras. When energy moves freely through the chakras, it stimulates the mental, physical, and spiritual health of the being. There is a clarity that arises that combines perception, thought, and intuition. Kundalini Yoga is known to assist change and self-limiting habit, bringing equilibrium to the glandular system and revitalising the nervous systems.

"Being a person that likes to live a life without limits, and after many years of travel, including years of living in Ibiza and Argentina, in 2017 I decided to come back to my spiritual home of Ibiza to open Ananda Yoga Retreats. Following the succession of many seasons in Ibiza and a few major universal set backs, I felt a draw to reside closer to my routes and family, which created the fantastic opportunity for Ananda Yoga Retreats in The Lake District.

Directed by the flow of the Universe, we now have two incredible venues located in both Ibiza and Coniston, of which I am humbled to now call the permanent home of Ananda Yoga Retreats."
