"This experience was beyond any of my hopes or expectations."

The retreat
Join us for a 4-day retreat in the stunning setting of the Scottish Highlands:
Rejuvenate with twice daily yoga, mindfulness and breath-work practice.
Reconnect with the elements on moorland walks & wild swims in the private loch.
Nourish yourself with nutritious vegetarian home cooked food in the luxurious setting of Farr Estate.
The 4-day retreat will be led by Alexa & hosted by Farr Estate.
The practice
My teaching style incorporates my training in yoga, breath-work and mindfulness.
Classes combine traditional practices of Hatha and Vinyasa with meditation, mindfulness and relaxation, allowing students to experience the full physical and mental benefits. I also enjoy taking my practice out into nature to absorb the benefits of nature connection alongside the traditional practice.
Yoga is for all, and I strive to make my classes accessible for all abilities so that everyone can experience the benefits.
“Alexa's yoga is kind on your body and your soul.”
