Swim Description Lake District Swim Yoga Retreat. This swimming and yoga adventure has been a long time in the planning. We are sure it will be worth the wait and we’re extremely excited about what we have ready for you to enjoy. If you love your yoga practice and being out of doors, swimming, and hiking in the fells then you are in for a treat. Although we call it a “retreat”, we’ll be “going out” most of the time and it will allow you to do the things you love to do, in your own time. The setting for our yoga trip is perfect for the experience we have planned. There should be enough yoga and swimming to keep everyone happy, we have daily yoga sessions planned with Gaby which will set us up for each day. Gaby effortlessly blends the best of each yoga style depending on the abilities in the class; but don’t expect Leisure Centre Yoga, Gaby will focus on establishing a reliable base of individual technique that will enhance your future attitude to yoga and improve your practice. Her years of experience shine through during practice and everyone can look forward to a rewarding session whenever we head to the mats.
