About us
Experience Yoga, Pilates, and Tai Chi classes at Harewood Holistics, set in the stunning Harewood Estate.
Our weekly classes, immersive retreats, yoga teacher training and bespoke wellness experiences near Harrogate and Leeds are designed to restore your body, calm your mind, and leave you inspired.
About the building
The Arch Barn is a Grade II listed building, part of the original 18th-century Home Farm and designed by the same architects as Harewood House. Lovingly restored with exposed beams and slate walls, it combines historic charm with modern comfort, providing a serene environment for Yoga, Pilates, and Tai Chi classes and retreats.
Why we are unique
Set in the heart of Harewood Estate, our studio and outdoor spaces transform with the seasons. Enjoy spring Yoga in the Gallery, summer lakeside Pilates sessions, autumn Moon & Cacao ceremonies, and Tai Chi workshops in the woodland.
Just 15 minutes from the busy Leeds town centre, Harewood Holistics offers the rare combination of countryside tranquillity with easy access, and our studio is only a 5-minute walk from the deer park. Each visit provides a truly magical wellness experience in Harrogate and Leeds.
About the studio
The Arch Barn Studio is fully equipped for Yoga, Pilates, and Tai Chi, with mats, blocks, bolsters, and straps provided. Colour immersion lighting, surround sound, and underfloor heating create a calming atmosphere, while exposed beams and reclaimed slate walls add timeless charm. During restorative sessions we enhance the experience with hand-poured coconut wax candles, filling the studio with a warm, soothing glow during your practice.
About the rooms
Our communal spaces enhance your visit. Enjoy teas in the refreshment room, and use our beautifully designed changing areas with storage for clothes and shoes.
Two treatment rooms, Fern and Forest, offer massage, facials, reflexology, and Reiki, complementing your wellness journey.
About the outdoor spaces
When the weather allows, we take practice outdoors to connect deeply with nature. Our sessions take place across Harewood Estate’s 7,000 acres of historic parkland, surrounded by ancient trees, open skies, and peaceful lakes. Enjoy Yoga, Pilates, and Tai Chi in these beautiful outdoor spaces, along with seasonal Moon & Cacao ceremonies, lakeside classes, and wild swimming experiences that celebrate the changing seasons.
About the cottages
Harewood Holistics offers bespoke group bookings for those looking to create a truly memorable and restorative experience. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, hosting a holistic hen party, or enjoying a retreat with friends, we can design a tailored day or weekend of treatments, classes, and relaxation.
If you are staying in Harewood Holiday's cottages, our experienced team can bring treatments or classes directly to you, including yoga, Pilates, massage, and meditation. For larger groups, we can also host private sessions and wellness days in our Arch Barn studio or beautiful outdoor spaces across the estate.
About the food
Harewood Holistics works closely with the Harewood Food & Drink Project, using the best seasonal produce from the Harewood Seasonal Larder. During our retreats, we enjoy specially curated seasonal menus at Muddy Boots, reached on a scenic walk through the Deer Park, bringing a mindful, nourishing element to the day.
Every menu highlights the estate’s fresh, locally sourced ingredients, supporting mindful eating alongside holistic wellbeing.
About Harewood House
In collaboration with Harewood House Trust, we create one-of-a-kind wellbeing experiences set within the iconic surroundings of Harewood House. From sunrise yoga on the historic terrace with breathtaking views across the valley, to peaceful meditation by the lakeside or movement practices in the Gallery accompanied by classical music, these sessions offer a rare chance to experience Harewood in tranquil, out-of-hours serenity.
These special events invite guests to connect with nature, heritage and stillness in a way that goes far beyond a typical class setting. With more seasonal events and immersive experiences returning next year, keep your eyes peeled for opportunities to step into the magic of Harewood like never before.
