Eco yoga centre
This stunning yoga centre offers retreats in a beautiful river-side location in the Scottish highlands. Sustainable living is at the heart of these retreats; the centre is powered by renewable energy in the form of a hydro power station and the owners have rebuilt the centre over the last five years with the aim of reducing its carbon footprint. Retreats begin with a yoga class in the morning, followed by brunch, the rest of the day is yours to enjoy at the centre or in the stunning countryside. All activities are optional, but you can also get involved in wood hopping, gardening and forest creation among a whole host of other relaxing eco endeavours.
