“REDISCOVER BALANCE AND JOY”

2025 Dates TBC

3 DAYS/2 NIGHTS – EXCLUSIVE LUXURY RETREAT

If the past few years have left you feeling less than optimal; physically or mentally, then this yoga focussed retreat is for you. Take this unique opportunity to recharge in an exquisite location, immersing yourself in holistic practices incorporating the mind, body and spirit.

This retreat is a balanced weekend that includes both movement and relaxation. You will have the chance to move as much (or as little!) as you wish. Workshops will also include various meditation and pranayama techniques to ensure you go home with new tools in your toolkit. The weekend is structured to include the time and space to let go in a safe and supportive environment.

Set in a beautiful private Victorian country house in the stunning Scottish Borders, the estate is normally reserved solely for bespoke retreats. These limited open weekends are a special chance to sample all that Woll Estate Retreats has to offer. You will have the opportunity to rediscover who you are, on and off the mat. Suitable for men and women, and all levels of practice, this is your opportunity to say hello again to those long lost friends: balance and joy!

“RESET AND RENEW HORMONAL BALANCING”

2025 Dates TBC

3 DAYS/2 NIGHTS – EXCLUSIVE LUXURY RETREAT

This carefully curated group retreat is designed for those seeking a reprieve from the relentless pace of daily life. You will be guided through a transformative journey that blends ancient healing traditions with modern wellness practices. Surrender to bespoke yoga asanas, meditative practices and revitalising cuisine, each element purposefully refined to cultivate endocrine balance. In addition to the movement, breath and meditation sessions, this weekend includes comprehensive educational sessions that empower you with the knowledge to harmonise your hormones and bring them back into balance. The lectures will cover five health pillars which underpin the process of rebalancing the endocrine system.

Within the tranquil bounds of the estate, relish the calming waters of the hot tub, relax in the infra red sauna, indulge in a therapeutic massage or just fall asleep in a deck chair whilst overlooking the Scottish hills. The weekend takes a holistic approach that nurtures both your physical and emotional state. Join us and embark on a journey to wellbeing, enveloped by the caring spirit of Woll House, where every detail is attuned to your renewed vitality and inner peace.

Both retreats are hosted by Samantha, an E-RYT500 and also the owner of the estate, and will help you rediscover your balance and develop practices that help you to thrive. Each movement session is a complete practice, meaning we’ll spend time with the breath, time in meditation as well as moving through physical asanas. In addition, during a dedicated mindfulness session we’ll specifically explore breath techniques and meditation practices to help you re-find your emotional equilibrium. You’ll go home with simple tools to incorporate into your daily life which will allow you to continue to cultivate vibrancy and joy when you’re back in the real world.
