wim, paddle, bike, or hike your way through the Lake District
to unique hidden locations for yoga with inspirational Strala
guide, Dr Sarah Green. The Yoga Hide-Away offers luxury
sporting and wellbeing retreats all year round. Nestled
on the side of Ling Fell, the boutique five star en-suite
accommodation is set within Highside Farm, a 17th century Lakeland
farmhouse, sympathetically restored, with an abundance of character.
Surrounded by fells, running streams and breathtaking sunsets, it’s the
perfect place to relax.
Three years ago, Green and her husband Rob embarked on a
journey to create an environment where people feel free to express
themselves, find inner strength and develop a connection to their
soul. Having carried out her doctoral research on the spiritual
experience of activity for individuals living with a physical disability,
she soon discovered the importance of yoga and sport as a tool to
re-establish meaning in life at a time when all seemed lost. Working
alongside British servicemen and women meant that she gained a
deep insight into the power of movement, for mind and body, as a
way to experience, evolve and excel.
This experience has helped shape The Yoga Hide-Away and its
philosophy of providing an inclusive and holistic retreat for disabled
and non-disabled individuals. Green also worked in the field of disability
sport and was confronted with the reality that the built environment can
be disabling for people living with a disability. This was a stark reality
that her and her husband felt was unjust and something they wanted
to change. When converting the farm from its sheep farming roots into
the home of The Yoga Hide- Away, they wanted to create a retreat that
was inclusive.The wild yoga experience
