Seven days by the loch.
The first Elumi Yoga retreat — Loch Lomond, Scotland.
Our first retreat brought together twenty women for a week surrounded by the forests, hills and peaceful waters of Loch Lomond.
Some guests arrived with friends, while many travelled alone. By the end of the week, the group had shared far more than yoga sessions. We walked, talked, ate together, explored the area, rested and created friendships that continued beyond the retreat.

Moments from the week.
"Loch Lomond showed us exactly what Elumi Yoga could become: a place where women arrive needing space and leave feeling connected, restored and ready for what comes next."
