A typical day at your retreat

Whilst there’s always a structured plan in mind, the magic of a small retreat is its adaptability. If the group needs more rest, we slow down. If you need extra support, you get it.

Because spaces are strictly limited, you’ll never be just a face in the crowd. A smaller group allows for individual attention and support, ensuring each day’s practice can be adapted to your physical and emotional needs.

Approximately 4–5 hours of guided practice each day, leaving plenty of time to rest and enjoy the estate.

  • Morning session (approx. 2 hours): Yoga movement and flow, breathwork and meditation

  • Lunch

  • Afternoon session (approx. 2 hours): Workshop or discussion, followed by relaxation, somatic movement, restorative yoga or meditation

  • Dinner

  • Saturday evening: Fire pit ceremony (weather permitting)

Retreat food

Our private chef, Delia – aka The Jammy Cook – will be providing all your food throughout the retreat. Having run her own successful restaurant, Delia now works as a private chef for exclusive events, and we’re lucky to have her skills exclusively for the weekend.

Delia and I are both foodies, so every dish is designed to nourish both body and soul, put a smile on your face and a “mmmmm” in your mouth.

Take a look below to see what’s included throughout your stay, along with a sample menu.

  • Before the morning workshops, fruit and bread or pastries will be available for anyone who prefers not to practise on an empty stomach.

  • Brunches and lunches will be vegetarian or fish-based, using delicious fresh local produce.

  • Dinner will include a main dish, sides and pudding, prepared with Delia’s flair for herbs and spices.

  • A welcoming afternoon tea will be served on Friday, including home-baked scones, cookies or cakes.

  • A sample menu can be added here to give guests a flavour of the dishes they may enjoy during the retreat.

Time in nature

The beautiful Scottish Borders setting is very much part of the retreat experience.

Wild swimming is an optional extra for anyone looking to embrace nature a little more fully. For those who prefer to stay dry, the peaceful surroundings, hill walks and open countryside are just as enjoyable.

In the evening, gather around the fire pit to relax, chat about the day or simply sit quietly beneath the stars and enjoy the flames.

Testimonials

  • Yoga and Meditation Retreat in the Scottish Borders

    “I needed a break from my home life after cancelling a retreat in May due to my husband being in the hospital after a serious accident.

    I saw this retreat and it sounded perfect. Not too far away to drive to, out in the countryside, good food, a mix of yoga and meditation, a sauna and hot tub on offer and it suited my needs.

    I felt cherished and valued after spending time at Samantha’s retreat. So relaxed and recharged.

    Samantha was a fabulous host and an excellent yoga and meditation teacher. I had recently had surgery and I was well looked after. And the food - possibly the best vegetarian food I’ve tasted. Simply delicious and so healthy.”

  • Review of WOLL ESTATE RETREATS

    “The Woll retreat had everything: a comfortable bed, breathtaking views, fab facilities (I particularly enjoyed the sauna before retiring), and even a great masseuse! The food was seriously good, and you were never hungry. Sam was a great teacher adapting her lessons so that you could participate no matter what level you were at. I learned a lot and came away feeling ready to tackle the challenges in my life. A quick shout-out to my fellow retreaters, who made the weekend a lot of fun. And a huge thank you to Sam and her team, who thought of everything. If you are looking for the perfect getaway and a chance to kick-start yourself, I recommend you book yourself into a Woll Retreat. You won’t regret it.”

  • Yoga Retreat 2023

    “As a first yoga retreat, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this was fantastic. The standard has been so high future retreats elsewhere have a tough act to follow! If only I lived a little closer! The welcome, friendliness, food, instruction, and time to chill and chat are all very appreciated. I loved it!”

  • Wondeful Retreat

    The bed was incredibly comfortable and the duvet was like sleeping in a cocoon. 10/10 - It has been a wonderful treat for me and time for myself

    The teaching was done in a way that made the class fun (but tough!) very informative and in such a beautiful and tranquil setting. Beautiful studio!

    Thank you for a wonderful retreat and break - you have been an exceptional host”

  • Best Yoga retreat ever!

    “I've just returned from the best Yoga retreat ever!

    Sam's classes were informative and challenging but totally inclusive. Suitable for all levels, from the physically challenged (me!) to the qualified yoga teacher (not me!). Just the right balance of technical input and physical practice.

    Set in the most beautiful environment offering peace and tranquility. Not forgetting 'THE' most delicious food, courtesy of Delia @thejammycook.

    If you get the opportunity to go, grab it with both hands.”

  • A magical experience!

    “A magical experience! Anyone would get something out of it. I would recommend this for everyone, no matter what yoga level!

    I arrived on Friday expecting to learn a few yoga poses and hoping my level of fitness wouldn't be a burden to the class.

    Sam is an incredible teacher, with the ability to shine the light on people's strengths, lending an extra hand to those in need (taking injuries into account-creating alternative poses), and taking the time to make sure everyone understood the why and how of the poses/stretches.”

  • Incredible yoga weekend workshop

    “I have just spent the most amazing, challenging, emotional, and incredible yoga weekend workshop with a group of wonderful women in the most beautiful surroundings!

    Our host and yoga teacher Sam was inspiring and the most supportive teacher; I have learned so much and discovered there are yoga poses I can do that I would not have thought possible!!!”

  • Convivial atmosphere

    “Samantha's classes had a lovely collegiate feel to them. We worked hard but in a convivial atmosphere. I always felt a sense of well-being after each class, which spurred me on to do other healthy activities when I left. Cumulatively, there has been an increase in my energy levels (though not immediately after class ;)”

  • Skilled and sensitive
