The purpose of a getaway is to help you relax and unwind, which makes yoga classes a fitting addition to any relaxing holiday. Across the UK, hotels have incorporated wellness into the experiences that they offer to various different degrees, and yoga whether, it's in a dedicated spa or in the open air, is one of the most popular. Often included alongside spa facilities such as treatments, swimming pools, saunas and steam rooms, or a restful end to the day after tennis, golf or a day on the beach, yoga is one of many leisure experiences available at the UK's hotels. It's a wonderful addition to a romantic holiday or a getaway with friends, but it can even be a welcome inclusion on a family-friendly retreat. Amongst our favourite hotels with yoga classes, are Woolley Grange in Wiltshire, Polurrian on the Lizard in Cornwall, Rufflets in Scotland or even Hell Bay Hotel on the Isles of Scilly.
