Yoga Break, Another Place The Lake, Cumbria
Designed to restore and replenish—and, crucially, suitable for all abilities—this two-day yoga break is held at Another Place the Lake, on the shore of Ullswater. Cornwall-based instructor Julia Poole (of Oceanlight Yoga) has a background in counseling, meditation, and mindfulness, and will tailor each session to the level of the group, whether she’s teaching restorative evening yoga to relax and recenter or sensory flowing movement to kickstart the day. Classes are held in the Glasshouse with calming views of the fells. There are optional morning swims in the lake and plenty of free time for having a go at stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking, booking in for treatments or unwinding in the cedar hot tub.
When: October 14-16
Price: From around $840 per person, based on two sharing

Yoga Retreat, Six Senses Vana, India
Close to Rishikesh, the birthplace of yoga, this nurturing hotel in the Vana Forest offers personalized programs for five, seven, or 14 nights; the beauty of this, of course, is that you can do everything at your own pace and have the benefit of dedicated one-to-one yoga instruction and support. Each stay begins with a wellness consultation and screening to determine not just the state of your health, but also your personal goals, whether they are to reduce stress, replenish energy, or reconnect with your spiritual self. A bespoke program could then comprise yoga, fitness and meditation sessions, ayurvedic treatments to rebalance doshas, and natural healing therapies such as reflexology, acupuncture, and Raag therapy, which encourages relaxation and deeper rest. Rooms have views of the herb gardens and fruit orchard and, as you’d expect, the food is all pure flavors and fragrant curries—integral parts of a holistic stay here.
When: Year-round, as it’s a permanent retreat
Price: From $722 per night, based on single occupancy in a Garden Room for five-night minimum stay. This includes arrival wellness screening and consultation, all meals, one standard treatment per day, daily retreat program, and airport transfers to and from Dehradun Airport.
