About
Treat yourself to a deeply relaxing autumn retreat over 5 nights at Achaban House near Fionnphort village on the Ross of Mull.
In October our venue is Achaban House, a short walk from Fionnphort and the Iona Ferry. Overlooking the picturesque Loch Pottee, this traditional and spacious guest house is set in 6 acres of meadow and woodland, home to an abundance of wildlife.
Achaban’s stylish rooms offer warmth, peace and tranquillity, perfect for our early autumnal retreat. After a busy day of yoga and exploring the islands we can ease out tired muscles in the log-fired hot tub and warm our toes in front of the lounge fire - Bliss!
Accommodation
Full of historic character, Achaban House is spacious and comfortable.
It has a lovely setting within 6 acres of grassland and woodland, less that one mile from Fionnphort.

Retreat leader, Zoë Heald
I’ve been teaching yoga on Mull & Iona for over 10 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.
