Armathwaite Hall, a luxury hotel and spa based in the Lake District, UK, has launched Lemoga, a new wellness experience combining yoga and lemurs.

Part of Armathwaite's 'meet the wildlife' wellness programming, which combines nature with mindful experiences, the Lemoga experience, available at the hotel's adjoining Lake District Wildlife Park, is designed for yogis of all abilities and capitalises on the current trend for yoga classes with animals.

Lemurs were selected due to the calming effect they have on humans, helping to reduce stress and lower blood pressure, merely by being in their presence.

Other experiences include: Walks with Alpacas, Meet the Meerkats and Apprentice Keeper sessions.

Carolyn Graves, owner of Armathwaite Hall, said: "As a wellness destination, we are used to providing our guests with outdoor experiences which help relieve the symptoms of city living such as stress, sleep and pollution. Lemoga offers our guests the chance to feel at one with nature, at the same time joining in with the Lemurs' play time."

Guests will be able to follow up their Lemoga session with a visit to the hotel's award-winning spa, which offers a wide range of treatments from luxury spa brand Temple Spa, as well as more traditional spa therapies such as Indian head massage and reflexology.
