My secret place

Moving to Cumbria was a choice made completely on gut instinct and heart, says Bethan Evans. “I desired dramatic landscapes with mountains, forests and lakes because of the impact this scenery had on my mindset. Hiking in places like this where the terrain is rugged, challenging and varied gave my life a whole new dynamic.” That includes seeing improvements, not only in fitness or yoga, but in other ways too. “My ADHD improved because of this active lifestyle I developed whilst being immersed in nature and its power to heal,” she adds. “Combined with yoga, this healing energy is amplified and my whole life feels transformed. Teaching classes around Cumbria and hosting retreats in such a popular area of the country allows me to inspire and help others to reconnect with themselves and nature.”
