Hot chocolate for the soul Just returned from a weekend retreat here and I am still in a bubble of peace. From start to finish you are welcomed with open arms the food is 5 star 🌟 never had vegan meals before and never knew how colourful tasty and satisfying they are every detail so beautifully prepared. Madeline and Andrea will blow you away with there yoga teaching and Tracey on hand with her warmth and nurturing hospitality. The setting in Grasmere is beautiful enough to make you feel hidden away from the messy world and leads the way to a lovely hike up to Easedale tarn for a swim. I feel cleansed reset and ready to book for next year, it really is hot chocolate for the soul... a wonderful retreat.

Quiet your mind Amazing experience. Perfect rest/reset/recharge. Amazing yoga and sound baths. Food out of this world. Views at the villa are stunning. In a nutshell, surreal and not sure I will be able to surpass this one

Stunning views and varied yoga offering Beautiful views with a varied offering of yoga and sound. Perfect place to get away from everything with the best vegetarian food I've ever tasted!

Coniston 2023 Excellant retreat at Coniston with yoga teacher Chloe and hosted by Maddie. Beautiful venue. The food was amazing, all home made and each meal different. I was very impressed, have been on a lot of retreats and this was the best food ever.

Ananda Yoga Retreat Ibiza October 2023 As usual Ananda Yoga Retreat was first class and truly amazing. I have been to a few of Ananda yoga retreats in the UK. Ananda Ibiza 👏🏾👏🏾. Great people, delicious food, wonderful staff but more importantly the daily yoga practices and teachings were everything and so much more than you’d expect from a yoga retreat. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone whether you’re a novice, beginner or a seasoned yogi. Thank you to Madeline, Adrienne Claire and Donna for making this experience one to remember. See you next year 😉

Wonderful retreat in a stunning setting A review of the summer retreat at Lake Coniston. What a wonderful weekend! The accommodation was comfortable and welcoming, the surroundings stunning, but what made the retreat so special were the people. Madeline immediately made me feel at ease on arrival, and I felt nurtured and looked after by the whole Ananda team all weekend. The quality of yoga provided was amazing, we were treated to a mix of Mandala flows, Yin, Jivamukti and elements of Kundalini. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and Madeline and Andrea were both extremely knowledgeable, passionate and inspiring teachers. The sound healing experiences were really special and I loved how they were incorporated into the Yin. The food was vegan and of extremely high quality, every meal was delicious. The chocolate mousse cake was a fave! I came away from the weekend floating on air, and I will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Coniston Summer Retreat July 2023 The Coniston Lake Summer Retreat was exactly what I needed and more. A safe space in which I could challenge, explore and nurture my body, mind, heart and soul. Madeline, Anna and guest teacher Andrea radiated with love and enthusiasm. The food was also out of this world. I am a meat eater but I could easily turn vegan if I was served up this soul food everyday. Food, movement, stillness and sound - there is something for everyone here if you open to it.

Physical, mental and emotional reset! Ananda yoga retreats are a wonderful treat for the body and soul. I have been on 3 now and keep rebooking each year as they are so brilliant. Fantastic yoga, venue and delicious food. Thanks for all the hard work Amanda team! Pictures are the view from my bed!

Summer retreat in Coniston Such an awesome weekend! Delicious food, beautiful surroundings, lovely hosts and challenging but thoroughly enjoyable yoga. If you want to learn something about yourself and let go of some of your baggage in the most relaxing surroundings this is the retreat for you. As a bit of a beginner to yoga I didn't realise their was so much to learn. This retreat has definitely encouraged me to carry on learning and practicing. I can't thank Madeline and the team enough for such a lovely weekend.

A truly holistic and inspiring experience I've just returned from the most amazing retreat in the beautiful Lake District, with Ananda Yoga Retreats. I can't recommend this enough! This was my first experience of a yoga retreat, as well as the first experience of Yin yoga, Mandala yoga and a sound bath. Each practice was led so expertly, and so sensitively and intuitively, that it was truly accessible for a range of experiences and abilities. I've struggled with hip pain due to arthritis for a number of years, but challenging myself in a safe and supportive environment, has really highlighted, that it's my fear of moving that's really holding me back. On top of the exceptional teaching, the food was fenomenal! Totally vegan (I eat meat so was slightly apprehensive!), tasty, filling and varied....the desserts were my absolute favourite! The accommodation is simple, spotlessly clean, cosy and comfortable, and is in a stunning location. Next time, I will definitely psych myself up for a dip in the lake! If you're looking for a truly authentic experience and time to refresh mentally, physically, and emotionally, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ananda.

Ananda Yoga Retreat Coniston Lake Dio This is my second time in 4 months I had the pleasure of attending the Ananda Yoga Retreat. These retreats are perfect. This weekend we had the amazing teaching from Madeline Diaz Meiners and Andrea Everingham. The teaching included yin and yang practice with sound bowls and gongs and philosophy, just to name a few of the practices. The vegan food was sensational. I am not a vegan but after experiencing such wonderful meals prepared by Penny, I will be adding more vegan meals in my diet. We all had a great time meeting new people, making connections and the venue was perfect. Thank you Ananda

Amazing retreat in the Lake District A well and thoughtfully organised retreat in a beautiful location. Madeline, Andrea and Adrianne were excellent. I am far from an advanced practitioner but never felt left behind. And the vegan food was amazing!

Fantastic Lake District Yoga Retreat. Would highly recommend Excellent Lake Coniston weekend retreat. All session excellent. The teachers Madeline & Andrea were fabulous with every session interesting, challenging & rewarding. Loads of fantastic positive energy with lovely people. Great food and lots to do in and around the event. Can’t wait for our next retreat in May!!!!

The best holiday of my life I had the most fabulous time at Ananda Yoga Retreat this September. The location and the villa are both gorgeous, the yoga was perfect for my level (challenging but not out of my depth) and the food cooked by @themindfulkitchen was second to none. I can not recommend it enough! Madeline, Adrienne and Bex have truly created a paradise ❤️❤️

Ananda Yoga Retreat: blissful, spiritual and magical Words can’t do justice to what a transformative, fun, moving, restful, luxurious, brilliant experience this was. Madeline and Adrienne provided a truly inspiring yoga programme to start and end each day, while Bex delivered some of the most incredible vegan food we have ever tasted. The location is superb, the villa magnificent, our fellow guests interesting and warm in equal measure and to top it all off, we had a reiki session that truly blew our minds. Ananda is a very special experience and we can’t wait to return next year. A real highlight of 2021 for us and undoubtedly a life changing shift for everyone involved.

Ibiza Bliss ! Completely restorative and a chance to meet amazing new friends. The high quality of the food, the location, the practises and the small caring touches, made a solo traveller feel very welcome. All in all a very special experience, with yoga teaching at its finest. Thank you!

Exceptionally restorative retreat with fantastic yoga and amazing food This was my first time in Ibiza, a friend convinced me to come with her for this 5 day retreat and I have to admit I was skeptical. But the punchline of the story is that it was so amazing that I'm already planning to come again! The retreat is set in a beautiful old villa with a large amount of land, a pool, an outdoor eating table and plenty of communal areas to hang out. My friend and I shared a spacious and comfortable room with bathroom, all rooms have AC but we didn't really need it this time of year. The twice daily yoga lessons take place on a beautiful wooden platform overlooking rolling green hills, with the sounds of nature all around, the sun shining and gentle breezes. The lessons were amazing, very powerful but also plenty of space for inexperienced people like me to find their own pace when needed. The teachers Madeline and Adrienne each brought their own unique style and energy to the lessons They are both warm and compassionate people, and made us all feel very welcome and comfortable. Equally amazing was the vegan food cooked by the incredible Bex, I would come back for that alone tbh. And finally the company, because we really bonded with the small group of other guests. Anyway definitely don't pass this up, I feel 1000x better after this retreat and it made me very inspired to continue with yoga!

A Slice of Paradise Had the most amazing time at Ananda! I accidentally over-booked myself into a session that was full and Madeline (the owner) told me not to worry and made me feel so comfortable and at ease! I had such an incredible time! There are no words to describe the beauty of the villa and the location. Just a few minutes walk to the beach. Amazing hikes in the area with unreal overlooks. The FOOD, OMG the food was incredible. As someone who is not vegan, I can vouch that the menu is absolutely mouth-watering and I did not miss meat one bit! The yoga was perfect! I loved the practice and enjoyed having such long sessions (some retreats skimp out) we had 2hrs in the am and 1.5hrs in the pm. All in all, this retreat is a must. Staff is lovely, accommodations are gorgeous and yoga + food is outstanding. Highly recommend
