A Space to Be
Established in 2009, we provide a small , safe space for the healing practices of yoga, relaxation, massage and meditation.
A warm welcome is waiting for those seeking peace, stillness and sanctuary.
Yoga
A Space to Be is the home of Lucy Maresh who is an experienced holistic therapist and yoga teacher. She specialises in making yoga accessible to people of all ages and abilities and has almost twenty years of experience.
Massage
Lucy’s massage training has covered Swedish Massage, Holistic Massage, Sports Massage, Thai Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Abdominal Detox (Chi Nei Tsang), Acupressure and more. She weaves all her skills together with her yoga background to meet the needs of each individual as a whole.
Retreats
Stay in our quiet, uncluttered guest suite. You can soak up the views and ‘just be’, or plan a full itinerary of yoga and massage. There are lovely walks on the doorstep in Shilbottle, and it is a short drive to the beach at Alnmouth or Warkworth.
Thank you for this Yoga, so much more than exercise. Yours is such a gentle compassionate practice and teaching. This combined with skill and the power of balance, movement and stillness, is very effective. I am benefiting greatly especially as movement is not usually a delight for me. I have found this term’s yoga to be settling, spacious and healing. I look forward to the next session.

Lucy and Henry are wonderful hosts who are welcoming, helpful and flexible. The bedroom is spacious and the bed is really comfortable. Breakfast and dinner, if arranged, is tasty and nutritious. Lucy’s restorative yoga workshop was just lovely! I also had a massage and found her sensitive, experienced and very good at what she does.
