Scotland is a magical land, with something mesmerizing to take in around every turn. This retreat, which is more than just a yoga retreat, aims to get you out in nature to appreciate the beautiful landscape and expansive, loch-laden views. You will also have plenty of adventure along the way, as well as time to experience Scotland’s most beloved city.
We will stay on a gorgeous luxury farm/retreat situated near the idyllic village of Buchlyvie, just 45min from Glasgow and 1hr from Edinburgh. The farm is comprised of 6 separate properties that come together to create a cozy, peaceful escape, with welcoming common areas and carefully curated rooms. The retreat is at the doorstep of the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park and surrounded by the Trossachs, an area of wooded glens, braes, and lochs. There are nature and outdoor activities abound, so during your stay you can enjoy, at your leisure, a relaxing time taking in the views and soaking IN our hot tubs, or you can take in the walks, mountains and bike runs only minutes from your door.
What We Will Get Up To
This experience will have a little bit of everything! From adventure, to nature, to city+castle exploring and moments of cultural immersion, you will get a well-rounded experience of the things that make Scotland so magical.
Upon arrival, settle into the farm and take in the incredible, peaceful beauty that surrounds you!
Expect a welcome dinner+introduction circle that night.
The first full day will be mostly a free day, save for a short walk to Harmony Fields, a nearby animal sanctuary whose goal is to bring humans and animals together in a way that provides peaceful connection opportunities and holistic wellbeing time in nature.
We will take a group day hike up Ben A’an, a distinctive hill in Scotland, located in the Trossachs area of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. It's popular among hikers for its relatively short but steep ascent and incredible views from the summit.
On another day, we will enjoy an adventurous, team building outing to GoApe, which is an award winning nature+adventure park in the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park. We will enjoy a tree-top challenge and the longest dual ziplines in Scotland! Picture yourself having a rush of a good time in the nature of the Scottish highlands. If heights and ziplines aren’t your thing, you can hire a bike or explore the glorious nature park on foot, and join the rest of the group for cake and tea at the end!
A trip to Scotland would NOT be complete without time in the spectacular city of Edinburgh, and another one of our day trips will be just that! Edinburgh is known for its rich history, stunning architecture, vibrant festivals, and cultural heritage. It's famous for landmarks like Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, and Arthur’s Seat. Expect a FULL day to explore the city to your heart’s content.
Closing night will feature traditional Scottish dancing with our professional callers. Ceilidh dancing is a fun an inclusive way to experience Scottish culture.
