Established in 2023, Holistic House Skipton is the soul-child of local wellbeing practitioners, Bethan Gray (Bethan Gray Yoga), and Banu Harrison (The Pilates Room Skipton).

We started Holistic House Skipton having both worked in the wellbeing industry for a few years, really recognising a need for human, people-first, truthful and inclusive spaces that aren’t for show, that aren’t performative but rather are full of exceptional people offering exceptional work, and who are deep in their practices themselves. Not removed from, but deeply embodied in. Not self-professed gurus sitting on white-washed thrones, but real people who live and breathe their practices, while deeply connected to their human-ness and to real life, too!

We wanted our building to feel nourishing, a space for very normal people who just really are ready to make a change, learn more about body/mind connection, be in their happiest, healthiest self and join a loving, creative, open minded and open hearted community right slap bang in the centre of our beloved town!

We also recognised that people are anxious, lonely and feeling devoid of purpose these days. The world is a tough place, it’s true. There’s a lot of darkness, but there’s also a lot of light, too.

We wanted to create the space that we needed ourselves - full to the brim of people who can help you… and if for some reason we can’t, we have a huge base of fabulous people in the area we can refer you to who can. This work isn’t just business to us, it’s not shiny graphics or false pretences, it’s as real and as necessary as the earth we all walk on… we really believe this.
