About Roaming Spirit Yoga Retreats
A Welcoming Space to Rest, Move & Reconnect
Creating space to rest, reconnect & roam freely, meaningful escapes in beautiful places
Roaming Spirit Yoga Retreats offer friendly, inclusive retreats designed to support your well-being through yoga, nature and connection. Each retreat creates time and space to slow down, rest, and gently check in with yourself, supported by shared practice and community.
Our retreats take place in carefully chosen natural settings across the UK and Europe. From peaceful countryside and woodland locations to coastal and mountain landscapes, each venue is selected for its beauty, tranquillity and ability to support rest, reflection and renewal.
Surrounded by nature, you’ll have the opportunity to step away from everyday life, move gently through yoga, enjoy time outdoors, and reconnect — with yourself, with others, and with the natural world.
Roaming Spirit Yoga Retreats has been offering yoga retreats since 2013. Originally founded as Tranquillité Retreats in France, the retreats evolved following personal changes that felt like a fresh beginning. Roaming Spirit Yoga Retreats reflects a renewed focus on yoga, nature and self-care practices.
Bringing people together on retreat has always been at the heart of this work. These shared experiences offer the opportunity to rest, reflect, reconnect and explore practices that support both physical and emotional well-being.
About Your Host
Hello, I’m Maria.
I’ve been practising yoga for many years and it has had a profoundly positive impact on my life. I’m passionate about sharing yoga in an accessible, supportive and down-to-earth way. Alongside yoga, I feel most at home outdoors. I love hiking, climbing and paddle boarding, and growing up on a farm nurtured a deep connection to the natural world. I find being in nature incredibly healing and, much like yoga, I’m keen to encourage others to experience its therapeutic benefits.
Sharing time outdoors as a group feels especially meaningful — it connects us to one another and back to the earth. I bring this love of yoga, nature and community into each retreat, offering you the opportunity to experience their benefits together.
What to Expect
Our retreats are open to all levels of yoga experience, with each session thoughtfully guided and offering options and modifications to support your individual practice.
Activities and experiences may vary depending on the retreat location, but each one is carefully designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and immerse yourself in your surroundings. From guided walks in nature and wellness experiences to moments of rest and exploration, there is always flexibility throughout your stay — allowing you to participate as much or as little as you wish.
All activities are entirely optional, giving you the freedom to shape your days in a way that feels right for you. Whether you choose to join the group, explore independently, or simply rest and recharge, this is your time.

Maria's retreats are truly unique in that they cater for every type of person. It really doesn't matter if you do not practice yoga in your day to day life, the retreats are so much more than that. Maria makes such a calm, relaxing and inclusive retreat that focuses on relaxation, good food and natural surroundings. If you are someone how fancies stepping away from the rat race into a world of peace, calm and relaxation, and you enjoy good food, leisurely walks and good company, please do look into Maria's retreats, you will never look back.

What a wonderful weekend of yoga and walking in the Yorkshire Dales. Maria is a gentle presence who created a beautiful environment for yoga, rest and relaxation. The rural setting was perfect, accommodation gorgeous and the food was outstanding. I look forward to the next one.

This was my first retreat with Maria at Roaming Spirit and I couldn't have enjoyed it more. The Spring Equinox retreat came at the perfect time of year, emerging from the darker winter months, with a focus on rest and rejuvenation throughout. The rural setting was idyllic, the accommodation was beautiful, the catering was delicious and the yoga just perfect - with Maria's soft, dulcet tones guiding our practice beautifully. The remote country walks were simply the icing on the cake. I returned feeling calm and refreshed, ready to book on again next year! Thank you Maria for a wonderful weekend.
