Cost = £77 including snacks, drinks, swimming/dipping, use of the saunas and all yoga/relaxation sessions. FAQs Do I need previous experience of yoga? No previous experience of yoga is required. I tailor the sessions to whoever is coming on the day, with different options available to suit different levels of experience/bodies. I like to bring a playful element to my classes and the emphasis is on enjoying the yoga, not being good at it. Do I need previous experience of wild swimming? No previous experience of wild swimming is required. Many people find the retreats are a great opportunity to try out lake swimming, or try out Divers Cove, for the first time as you'll be doing so as part of a group. If you're 'testing the waters', you may like to just take a dip at the water's edge or do a short stretch of around 50m to get a feel for it. Then you can enjoy some time in the sauna! If you are new to outdoor swimming and hope to swim a full lap of the lake, I suggest you wait until June to join a retreat so the water has had time to warm up a bit. How about if I'm an experienced outdoor swimmer? If you're a confident swimmer, you can enjoy a 400 or 600m lap (or multiple laps) of the lake. We have an hour allocated for swimming and sauna - it's up to you how you use that time. What about it if it rains/the weather is a bit chilly? Yoga and relaxation sessions take place in a heatable cabin so we'll be toasty for those parts of the retreat. Many people find swimming in the rain to be an enlivening and memorable experience. You can always warm up in the sauna! If there's anything else you'd like to know, drop me an email: annarookeyoga@gmail.com
