About
In early October we hold our Heart & Soul yoga retreat. This is a quiet time to visit the islands and you'll receive a warm welcome.
It's the beginning of the rainbow season, long shadows and beautiful light. We will have a daytrip to Iona: we will practice yoga in the hall, indulge in the Iona Hot Box sauna and cool down with a quick dip at beautiful Marty'r's Bay beach.
Accommodation
We'll be staying at peaceful village of Kintra in Tigh Ur, a modern ecohouse with a touch of luxury.
Daily Plan
We start the day with a morning hatha yoga class. I'll guide you gently through classical posures, vinyasa flows, somatic bodywork and breathing practices, while connecting to our Chakras.
In the afternoon we explore the islands together, with our own optional guided walks, wild sea dips and a private beach sauna hire on Iona - great to warm up after a swim.
We'll have a deep restorative yoga session before dinner.
Retreat leader, Zoë Heald
I’ve been teaching yoga on Mull & Iona for 16 years, having moved up here from London for a bit more fresh air! My family moved to Mull over 30 years ago so, as a local, I can show you the hidden gems of these islands.
I first studied yoga while living in Japan in 1994 and have been a devoted practioner ever since. I graduated as Sivananda Yoga Teacher in 2008, and Master of Yoga in 2010, having previously practised under the tutelage of the British Wheel of Yoga and the Satyananda Yoga Centre in London.
I am also a Registered Senior Yoga Teacher with the UK Yoga Alliance. My classes have a gentle pace allowing time to investigate postures and movements, learning about anatomy while paying attention to our own individual needs. Whenever possible we take our practice outdoors, opening our senses and rediscovering our place in nature. Ultimately we aim to develop balance , flexibility and a sense of clarity in mind, body and spirit. I’ve been running yoga holidays on the Isles of Mull and Iona since 2014. Our retreats just have small numbers of people, usually between 6 and 8. This enables me to give everyone plenty of personal guidance in their own yoga practice. Every year guests return to us time and time again to enjoy a complete break on our transformative retreats in nature.
