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. 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!

Hosted by Samantha, an E-RYT500 and also the owner of the estate, this mindful yoga retreat 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.
