Scottish Highlands Eco Yoga Retreat

6 – 9 April 2017

Our springtime Scottish Highlands Yoga Retreat took place at a tranquil river-side EcoYoga Centre, dedicated to sharing yoga and sustainable eco living. The retreat is set in magnificent Scottish scenery of hills, lochs, rivers and forests abound.

The glazed yoga studio overlooks the gorge of the River Liever and has a calm, serene ambience. The shala is purpose built with underfloor heating and the soothing sounds of the river and waterfalls nearby.

Yogis relaxed in the natural wooden hot tub, set in a glass Dome with the sky and stars above and all around. The artisan sauna is built into the hillside with views to the river and hills and a cold plunge tub to revitalise the body and being. The outdoor, heated baths are surrounded by forest, the waterfall flowing down to the river running by. It is a truly magical way to relax and fully connect with nature.

The Eco Yoga Centre offers a luxurious, yet eco-rustic experience. We were wonderfully taken care of, yet felt at home sweet home.

Nicola’s nourishing food was colourful, creative, delectable and abundant; home-made and heavenly, sourced straight from the organic garden.

On waking up in this stunning, natural location, yogis experienced creative, uplifting Vinyasa Flow Yoga. Moving through beautiful sequencing and creative namaskars, we explored the ancient insight and wisdom of The Bhagavad Gita. In the afternoons, we surrendered to a more restorative, yin practice, allowing yogis to rest, renew and rejuvenate.

In the afternoons, yogis relaxed in the hot tub, artisan sauna, bathed by the waterfall or walked in the hills, rivers and lochs. On our last evening together, we gathered around a fire circle under the full moon in the night sky.

We had a truly magical time together!
