Yorkshire yoga and walking - SOLD OUT.

If you missed this opportunity, why not join us this June in Wales and hike Mt Snowdon with us and the team . Think big hikes, a sense of achievement and waterfall dips as the reward!

Our March 6-9 retreat is a celebration of Spring, with 2 full glorious days of grounding yoga, gentle hill walks, hormone balancing meals and quiet connection in nature.

There is just one room left for this next gathering. Has it got your name on it?

Spring is quietly on its way. The bulbs are pushing through, the birds sound different, and the light feels softer somehow. Even on colder days, those blue skies seem to call us outdoors.

If you’re feeling a pull to move, to walk, to breathe a little deeper, that’s no coincidence. It’s a sign that we’ve made it through winter. Energy is rising, optimism returns, and before long, spring will be in full flow. I love this time of year. There’s a sense of hope that feels contagious.

That feeling is exactly why I’m so excited about our March Yoga & Walking Retreat and even more so because we’re heading to a brand new venue. This is our only retreat in March, and we’re pouring all of our attention and care into it.

March 6–9 - three nights, giving you two full, glorious days to relax
2 rooms left, twin ensuite or king ensuite shared occupancy
Price £995 pp

Picture evenings soaking in the wood fired hot tub under open skies, after after bracing hill walks and cooling river dips (optional of course!)

If you’ve been craving fresh air, movement, and a real pause before spring fully arrives, this retreat might just be the one.

As we head into a new year, this natural turning point feels like an invitation to pause rather than push. To reflect with kindness, not criticism. To plan in a way that’s sustainable.

I like to think more about "better way of life" choices rather than one-week blitz regimes. For me, the focus will be on better sleep and bedtime routines. What will yours be?

If any of this post resonates, maybe read it again slowly. Sometimes growth isn’t about doing more it’s about doing less, better, and with intention. Wishing a happy, joyful and zest filled new year to you all.

✨ Festive Flow for the Weekend ✨

If the festive season has your head spinning a little faster than usual, this one’s for you.

Our Festive Flow Series, created by Zest Life founder Laura, is designed to be dipped into over the holidays — a moment (or three) to move, breathe and stretch… and stay vaguely sane 🎄

✨ The series includes:
• Part 1 – 10 mins: Gentle warm-up
• Part 2 – 10 mins: Sun salutations & standing flow
• Part 3 – 18 mins: Twists, forward folds, backbends & of course… savasana

Perfect for squeezing in between wrapping, cooking and refereeing family dynamics.

Head to the link in bio to enjoy the full sessions in real time.

And yes… no comments on the tree decorations. I blame the children.🤪

Have a fantastic Christmas, and we’ll see you on the other side ✨

Are you feeling the Christmas guilt already? You're not alone! I feel it too, it really is all too much. I remember a yoga teacher of mine once saying "too much of anything is a bad thing".
The Christmas holidays are laden with too much everything and when it comes to food it can feel like a diet battlefield. Trying to maintain the perfect regime is a recipe for stress, not cheer. This year, why not ditch the pressure to 'stay on track' and embrace a more relaxed approach.
Our new article explains why it's okay (and essential!) to practice self-compassion this season, and how learning mindful enjoyment can help you savour the treats without the mental anguish.
Stop fighting the festive chaos and start enjoying it the Zest Life way!

Your Zest Life Retreats

The Zest Life was created from a love for yoga and the outdoors by founder Laura Bell in 2011. Our philosophy is really very simple. We have a gorgeous, luxury venue in the heart of north wales where we invite you to come and stay for a few days. You get to do as little our as much as you like during that time, with activities to energise and inspire such as hiking Snowdon, Stand Up Paddling and wild swimming to activities to calm and restore such as yoga, meditation and beach walks. We show you some of Wales most spectacular scenery and with a fantastic, positive team that will cater for your every need, you will feel nurtured and refreshed by the time you leave. “30 best wellness breaks in the UK” The Telegraph, May 2018. “The 25 greatest yoga holidays on the planet” The Telegraph June 2017. “Top yoga retreat for activities” The Guardian 2017. “One of the top ten yoga retreats in the world” The Times 2016. “Top six yoga retreats to visit in Europe” The Independent 2014.
