Nature based, wood-fired sauna in the Yorkshire Dales!
Nature based heat therapy & retreats for ultimate wellbeing
We host open sauna sessions, where you can book a seat in the sauna for yourself or for a group. We also create & host immersive day experiences for groups which often include our sauna amongst other wellbeing enhancing activities!
About our sauna
With it’s panoramic globe window we’ve lovingly named our wood-fried mobile sauna Orb! This epic window feature allows you to soak in the stunning scenery whilst the heat melts away your tension, or you warm up from your winter dip.
He’s wood-fired, and complete with lava stones to which hot water can be added for a boost of heat or humidity!
We have days on our schedule where you can book a seat in our shared sauna, or if you’d like exclusive use you can book the whole sauna.
Time slots are typically 55 minutes, although you can book for longer. Just drop us an email to hearthspaceretreats@gmail.com for your custom booking.
Whilst only 6 people can be in the sauna at one time, larger groups do often book the whole sauna and simply take it in turns.

What our community says
Alison
“What a fabulous day! Alexander and Beth are the perfect hosts their knowledge and enthusiasm made my day such a positive experience.
Meditation, breath work, cold water immersion and a wood fired sauna. Lunch at the Knights Table followed by a hike and nature meditation, the perfect day! Thank you both 🙏”

“As a first timer to meditation and wild swimming, I was somewhat sceptical … but WOW. Both Alexander and Beth make it such a memorable day, with their passion, knowledge and friendliness. I left the experience feeling positive, relaxed and energised. Certainly hope to return.”

Spend a day with us
Our immersive day experiences are designed to help you feel great whatever the weather.
We’ll take you to some of the most scenic spots in the North, and with the aid of our wood-fired sauna along with expert coaching you’ll be supported to explore the benefits of heat therapy, with the option to include cold water exposure, breath-work & meditation too!
You don’t need to have any experience of sauna, heat therapy, wild swimming, cold water exposure or any of the above to join us. In fact, our day experiences offer the perfect place starting point.
We make day retreats to order, so if you’d like to incorporate other fun activities such as hiking, yoga, bootcamp, bushcraft, cacao ceremony, workshops or other activities we can do that too!
