Yoga and Trail Run Derbyshire Dales Weekend
Spring 2018

My amazing friend, Ian Watson, and I have just had the most amazing time at Alison House Hotel, Cromford with 17 beautiful runners and yogis at our Yoga and Trail Run Derbyshire Dales weekend on 15-17 September.  In fact, we all had so much fun that it was decided we should do it again.  Take a weekend off to nurture yourself with lots of yoga, trail running, holistic therapies such as Thai Yoga Massage, Ayurvedic massages and facials, delicious vegetarian and vegan food as well as a guided walk and other exciting activities in the Derbyshire Dales.  Whether you are a yogi, a runner, both, or neither, there is plenty for you to enjoy.  Venue and dates will be confirmed shortly. Below you can find out a little more about Ian and me.

Yoga: I've been sharing my passion for yoga for more than 10 years.  The 4 yoga sessions (suitable for all experience levels) will cover a range of styles from the deeply relaxing yoga nidra to the dynamic vinyasa, and will include a yummy chocolate meditation.

 Trail Running: Ian is a local runner  and member of  Matlock Athletic  Club.  With 8 years of  experience  running in the  Derbyshire  Dales, he  certainly knows the most  beautiful  routes and will tailor the  routes to  suit  every  experience level.
