A Space to Be

A Space to Be is a yoga studio, therapy space and place of retreat in Shilbottle Northumberland. Escape the busy-ness of every day life and step into our quiet corner of calm.

Lucy Maresh uses movement, relaxation, massage, and meditation to help people learn about themselves and make life easier. Her classes are grounded in traditional yoga philosophy and include a holistic balance of practices for body, breath, mind, heart and soul.

“The restorative yoga, massage and just having time to ‘be’ have been nourishing and healing. I have appreciated the generosity and kindness you have shown me. The food has been delicious and just checking on my wellbeing has been helpful. I can see how much thought, heart and attention you put into your business in your beautiful home. The little touches which make the difference!”
