Yoga and Meditation Retreat on the Isle of Mull, Scotland

The retreat runs on the Isle of Mull in the Inner Hebrides, with the 7-night weeks based in an eco-house on a working croft a few miles from the Iona ferry, and the 4-night week based at the Iona eco hostel at the north end of Iona. Both locations are quiet, and the Iona hostel in particular sits at the remote end of the island.

A typical day includes yoga and meditation sessions led by Zoe Heald, with meals taken together. The rest of the time is yours. The page lists walking along the coastline, boat trips, wild swimming and time to draw or paint as options, plus simply sitting with the landscape. Wild Mull Tours runs wildlife, history and geology day trips from Pennyghael in the Ross of Mull, and Bendoran Watersports offers guided sea kayaking and sailing taster sessions along the coast.

Meals are cooked on site by an in-house chef, using local organic and seasonal produce whenever possible. All meals are vegetarian, and vegan, gluten-free and other dietary needs can be catered for. Full board is included in the price.

Zoe Heald leads the retreats and also teaches regular classes on the island — Wednesday mornings in Craignure and Monday evenings at Creich Hall in Fionnphort. Visitors to Mull are welcome to attend those classes; you need to get in touch first to check whether a class is running that week.

The two 7-night retreats are the Energy & Clarity Retreat (24–31 August) and the Breathing Space Retreat (7–14 September), both from £725. The 4-night Heart & Soul Retreat on Iona runs 25–29 October from £525. Spaces are limited and the page shows remaining places for each: 2 for Energy & Clarity, 6 for Breathing Space, 4 for Heart & Soul.
