Join me for a weekend luxuriating in the long Summer days, enjoying Yoga under open skies, embracing all that nature offers us through nourishing picnics, scent, play and creativity!

Dining room with a wooden table, six wooden chairs, a flower centerpiece, and framed botanical prints on a white wall.

Join me and my team for a joyful weekend escape in the heart of the Scottish Borders celebrating the fullness of Summer. Rolling hills, quiet woodland, babbling brooks and waterfalls surround our beautiful location for this nourishing weekend. We'll be staying in a beautiful farmhouse, Shannobank in Abbey St Bathens (just over an hours drive from Edinburgh) — full of character, charm, and countryside magic — the perfect place to restore your energy and embrace the vibrant rhythm of the season.

 This retreat is all about celebrating the abundance of summer with long days bathed in warm light, we’ll be outside as much as possible enjoying uplifting Yoga practices, walks and picnics as well as taking time to reflect, restore and drink in the beauty of taking a few days away to reconnect with nature.

A sunroom with large glass windows showing a lush green landscape with hills and trees. Inside, there are wicker chairs, a built-in stone bench with striped cushions, a small charcoal grill, a patterned potted plant, and a white door with a window. The room has wooden framing and a transparent roof.

Over the course of the long weekend you can expect!

  • Energising and restorative yoga sessions to nourish body, mind and soul

  • A warm and welcoming Opening Circle to reflect and set intentions

  • A playful, hands-on Aromatherapy Workshop with Gill of àile holsitic.

  • Delicious, wholesome vegetarian meals cooked with love from our chef Shana

  • Time to roam the land, swim at Elba falls, paddleboard down the river, create flower crowns and daisy chains, and just breathe

  • Cosy shared farmhouse accommodation — think soft blankets, wooden beams, and country charm

The Team!

Meet Gill, who will be guiding us through our Aromatherapy workshop!

Gill is a holistic practitioner and co-founder of àile holistic based in Edinburgh. Her therapeutic approach is deeply intuitive, drawing on decades of experience blending the modalities of Massage, Aromatherapy, Reiki and Reflexology.  She regularly formulates bespoke products and scents for individuals, brands and events.

Inspired by the scents of summer we will be guided through a session to create our own bespoke perfume.

Meet Shana, our naturopath chef and dedicated nutrition student. Formerly a pastry chef, Shana now channels her love for flavour and comfort food into creating meals that support wellbeing and balance. As we come together in the heart of summer, expect cooling fresh food to set your taste buds alight!

Due to the nature of the retreat, we will do our best to accommodate dietary restrictions, though please note that some cross-contamination may be possible.

Not included-

  • Travel to and from the venue. You will need to get there by car, if you don't have access to a car please let me know as car sharing will be encouraged!

This retreat is my kind of luxury.

It is designed for those of us who seek quiet beauty, where the fire crackles in the hearth, the kettle is always on and nature is right outside your door. Molly my gorgeous cockerpoo will be joining us to remind us of what's truly important; a full belly, curious mind (nose), and a warm place to lie.
