About

We are so excited to return to Ballogie House for a truly special day retreat this April! Let's gather together to welcome the return of the light as we approach Beltane (the Celtic Wheel celebration that marks the halfway point between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice). As the flowers bloom in abundance and the blossom bursts into life, we'll harness this vibrant energy in a unique day retreat with exclusive use of luxurious Ballogie House and its grounds. Allow time to slow down for the day to nurture your body and mind. Immerse yourself in the tranquility and nature of Ballogie in Royal Deeside, leaving with a renewed sense of calm and balance. What's included? - Morning energising yoga flow - Stravaig sauna (and optional cold plunge tub!) - Outdoor hot tub - Facial club with Jo Flett of Rewild Skincare - Nourishing vegetarian/vegan lunch, snacks and refreshments (all dietary requirements can be catered for, please advise upon booking) - Afternoon gentle yoga, soothing meditation and healing sound bath This retreat day is suitable for all - those who are new to yoga as well as those with yoga experience. Options and variations will be offered and encouraged. Arriving around 9:15am, settling in and taking in the peace and tranquility of the surroundings, the day will begin with an energising yoga flow in the beautiful Orangery benefiting from panoramic views over the private garden and surrounding hillside. The morning yoga practice will close in an extended savasana to fully calm and settle the nervous system. A light snack will be on offer before breaking off into two small groups. The groups can experience the outdoor hot tub and wood-fired Finnish sauna (Stravaig Saunas have been hired exclusively for our retreat) as well as taking part in a facial club led by Jo Flett of Rewild Skincare. Together we will cleanse our faces then flow through a self facial massage routine. Learning all about facial muscles, lymphatic drainage and how to get glowing skin from within. Following lunch, we'll ease into an afternoon of gentle yoga, meditation to embody the energy of light, love and life before flowing into a healing sound bath. The day will close with tea and cake. The dreamiest of days!
