About this selection
The Scottish Highlands' glens, lochs, and immense empty wilderness offer some of Europe's most profound natural silence for elemental retreat. Scottish Highlands has a strong Ashtanga lineage. The Mysore-style morning practice, the self-paced approach, and the direct teacher-student relationship of this tradition suit the retreat culture here particularly well. October falls outside Scottish Highlands's peak yoga season, which runs May, June, July. That said, retreats run year-round and the off-season offers genuine advantages: lower prices, smaller groups, and a quieter environment that some practitioners actively prefer. The practice itself is unchanged.
