“Recently had a wonderful Walking Yoga Retreat with Wendy in Rydal Water, Cumbria. Wendy is a thoughtful very instinctive yoga teacher, which was perfect as I had not met her prior to the retreat. Totally professional in her approach and teaching techniques. Thank you so much Wendy and see you soon “

“Wendy led a wonderful, relaxing weekend in the Lake District with plenty of yoga and a wonderful guided walk up Loughrigg Fell. The accommodation was cosy and had lots of interesting quirks due to its age and history. The dedicated yoga space was perfect to relax and enjoy yoga and meditation sessions. Thanks for a wonderful weekend! Brilliant position on the Rydal water and organised walking with Jamie just perfect.”

Introducing your Walking Guide
Jamie Boreham Walking Guide and owner of Inspirit Walking.
I have always had a love for the outdoors and walking. I moved to the Lake District to indulge this passion I got hooked on the area and am out and about all the time exploring this beautiful part of the country.
Lake District Guided walks are a great way to share my love and passion for the Lake District, walking, and the outdoors in general. I have always loved sharing knowledge, showing people these wonderful places, advising on routes and constantly learning more about the place I now call home.
Along with simply guiding the walk, I want to help inspire, educate and inflame. Each walk is different, but along the way there’ll be chats and opportunities to learn about all sorts – plants, animals, Lake District culture, geology, history, random facts and much more!
Come with me and let me show you what the Lake District has to offer at a lower level – rivers, lakes, waterfalls, farms, fields, flowers, woods, caves, birds, trees, rocks and everything in between!
I am fully insured and outdoor first aid qualified.
I love sharing my passion about walking and the Lake District.
“Just back from the most wonderful and relaxing weekend with Wendy, in the Lake District. Wendy has a really great way of teaching yoga. Her voice and style are so soothing. She is really supportive of everyone in class. I learnt a lot. The group was great company and we made some lovely memories, including walking up a fell in the mist.
If you are looking for a retreat with like minded souls and to return home energised yet relaxed, then book one of Amity Yoga retreats. Highly recommended.”

Ann Marie – Rydal Retreat 2024
“Just returned from Wendy’s Yoga and Walking retreat at Nab Cottage in the Lake District. It was a wonderful weekend that exceeded my expectations.
I love Wendy’s holistic approach. No matter how many years of yoga I have been practicing, Wendy’s yoga reminds me again of the important elements of yoga – breathing, posture and calm mind. Her warm pleasant voice leads us to a very peaceful mind and body.
Nab Cottage was the perfect place for such a peaceful yoga practice. I loved my unique and charming little room with views of both the lake and the mountains. Appreciated the warm hospitality of the cottage staff and enjoyed very tasty meals!
Despite the wet weather, a Mindful mountain walk was a very satisfying experience. It was the perfect combination calming my mind with yoga and energising my body with mountain walks in the beautiful Lake District.
Thanks to our wonderful guide, Jamie from Inspirit Walking.
Huge thank you to our Yogini, Wendy for arranging such a perfect yoga retreat and giving me the opportunity to meet such lovely yoga friends.
I learnt so much and felt refreshed and happy! Looking forward to the future events and opportunity to join! Thank you!”
