Autumn Equinox Day Retreat
This September, we’ll explore the yogic concepts of Sthira and Sukha, translated as steadiness and ease, and how these two qualities can support us both on and off the mat
The Equinox marks a point where day and night are almost equal, making it a fitting time to reflect on the relationship between effort and ease.
Throughout the day, we’ll explore how these qualities can support us when life feels busy, demanding or overwhelming, learning when to apply strength and focus, and when to soften, rest and create space.
Through yoga, breathwork, meditation, sound and reflection, we’ll consider how we can bring greater awareness to what we need and how we respond when life feels full.
This Day is Perfect if You Would Like To:
Whether you are experienced in yoga or stepping onto the mat for the first time, you’ll be warmly welcomed into this supportive community.

Bring some magic into your life with a friendly, welcoming one-day yoga and wellness retreat created to help you pause, reconnect, and return to yourself.
Expect a peaceful, carefully chosen venue surrounded by nature, spaces selected for their calming atmosphere and ability to support deep rest. Previous retreats have taken place in breathtaking, light-filled studios that naturally invite stillness and presence.

Imagine yourself moving through a guided, breath-led yoga practice, held by quiet surroundings and a sense of spaciousness.
The day unfolds slowly and intentionally, offering opportunities to soften, reset, and feel completely supported.
Past retreats have also included optional restorative sauna experiences, gentle additions that encourage warmth, release, and deep nourishment.

You will leave feeling refreshed, centred, and more connected to yourself.
Getting away from the daily hustle, even for just a few hours can see mind-body improvements, your body unwinds, your breath deepens, and your energy gently rebalances. Some previous retreats have offered simple, mindful ways to enjoy the natural environment, but the heart of each retreat is always the same: how you feel, rested, restored, and renewed from within.

I would highly recommend attending one of Kelly’s Day Retreats at The Boathouse.
You could tell the day had been very carefully planned and put together as everything was delivered with lots of care and attention . I felt properly looked after throughout the day as Kelly creates such a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The Asana practise was vibrant and energising and the other activities complimented the Yoga perfectly, making for a well balanced program which never felt rushed.
Whether you are a complete beginner or seasoned Yogi, this is a day retreat that everyone will enjoy as it’s very inclusive and mindful of different needs that students may have.
A thoroughly enjoyable experience and the perfect way to start the New Year with positivity and good intentions.

This was my first Yoga Retreat, and I wasn't sure what to expect. The Boathouse, Dunkeld, was a wonderful location. Full of natural light.
Kelly is so friendly and made us all feel so welcome and comfortable.
Kelly's enthusiasm for yoga and for us all to have a great day was infectious.
The yoga and other activities were carried out at a good pace. It was a very friendly group with a lot of fun and laughter.
It was a great way to start the New Year.

I absolutely loved our yoga retreat together.
The day was filled with an abundance of peace, love, joy and fun in exactly the right measures.
Loved meeting all you ladies. Thanks to my beautiful friend Miriam for asking me to go. Kelly you were awesome guiding us gently through our day in an endearing, warm, comfortable ambience.
Well done and thanks again.

Having never been to a retreat like this before (and not practised yoga for a while) I didn't really know what to expect and was a little apprehensive - although I definitely shouldn't have been!
The yoga was pitched perfectly, the goal setting activities offered a great opportunity for reflection and to create intentions going forward and the sauna in the afternoon was fab.
It was great to share the experience with such lovely people and Kelly is such a natural, who made everyone feel welcome and comfortable.
The location was stunning and really enhanced what was an amazing day. I would highly recommend!

Thank you, Kelly. I was a little nervous beforehand but you created such a warm and nurturing space, filled it with laughter, positive energy and light. We all had a special day at the Boathouse - wow, what a tranquil setting - and went away feeling lighter and happier. Can thoroughly recommend it.

I loved it all, from meeting everyone right through to the burning of the ‘let go’ hands! I enjoyed the breathing work and chanting a lot. Hadn’t experienced those before! My first retreat was memorable and left me feeling lighter and more positive. Left me wanting more! Lunch was delicious. Best soup I’ve had in a while and lovely wraps.

I had a wonderful experience at the self love retreat. Kelly had a wealth of knowledge and was happy to change and adapt the day to suit us to ensure we hard exactly what we anticipated. From the minute we arrived until we left I felt relaxed and encouraged . It was a perfect mix of yoga, philosophy and time to reflect on our own lives and what we can do to nurture ourselves. I really did feel like a weight lifted and will definitely be doing another retreat with Kelly.

The yoga retreat exceeded my expectations in every way. From the tranquil surroundings to the well guided sessions, each element contributed to an experience of extreme serenity and self-discovery. Kelly tailored the classes to accommodate various skill levels, giving us all a sense of inclusivity and growth. The wholesome meals and rejuvenating activities complemented the yoga sessions, creating a holistic and enriching retreat. I left with a deep sense of gratitude and a renewed connection to both my body and mind. Kelly went truly above and beyond to make sure we all felt comfortable and relaxed. She has an extremely warm and bright energy making us all feeling so welcome no matter what skill level we were all at. Not only that I loved the idea of it not just being your normal typical yoga retreat. Kelly used a lot of philosophical approaches which I absoloutely loved and felt I gained more knowledge on things I have wanted to learn for a while. Honestly cannot recommend Kelly and her retreat enough! Will definitely be back for another and I will continue to tell all my friends and family how amazing it was.
