WELCOME TO
ISLE OF MULL YOGA
We run residential retreats, workshops, weekly classes & individual yoga therapy sessions here on the Isle of Mull
Isle of Mull Yoga Retreats
Escape to the Scottish islands for a yoga & meditation holiday on the breath-taking Isle of Mull. Each day, you’ll practise yoga with expert tuition, enjoy deep relaxations & learn to meditate in this beautiful environment. Our retreats have up to 8 participants and are suitable for beginners as well as experienced yogis.
Guided Adventures
I’ll be your guide as we explore the Ross of Mull and sacred Isle of Iona. As a long term resident I know the best places! We’ll go sailing along the spectacular coastline, walk and swim at beautiful sandy beaches. Plenty of time to kick off your shoes, relax and indulge your senses. We pride ourselves on delicious healthy vegetarian cooking, and our chef uses local seasonal organic produce. We’ll also give you a sketchbook for notes and drawing plus there’s a box of art materials to use.
Zoë Heald:
Retreat guide, hatha yoga & meditation teacher
I’ve been teaching yoga on Mull & Iona for over 15 years, having moved up here from London for a bit more fresh air! My family moved to Mull 40 years ago so, as a local, I can show you the hidden gems of these islands. I first studied yoga while living in Japan in 1994 and have been a devoted practitioner ever since. I graduated as Sivananda Yoga Teacher in 2008, and Master of Yoga in 2010, having previously practised under the tutelage of the British Wheel of Yoga and the Satyananda Yoga Centre in London.
I am also a Registered Senior Yoga Teacher with the UK Yoga Alliance and a member of Yoga Scotland. My classes have a gentle pace allowing time to investigate postures and movements, learning about anatomy while paying attention to our own individual needs. Whenever possible we take our practice outdoors, opening our senses and rediscovering our place in nature.
Ultimately we aim to develop balance, flexibility and a sense of clarity in mind, body and spirit. Our retreats are for small groups, usually between 6 and 8 people. This enables us to give everyone plenty of personal guidance in their own yoga practice. Every year guests return to us time and time again to enjoy a complete break on our transformative retreats in nature.
I also run weekly yoga classes & individual sessions for locals and visitors - please contact me for details.
TRAVELLING TO MULL

Liliana Pavone:
Hatha yoga teacher & retreat assistant
Liliana first attended one of my retreats over a decade ago, and we've remained close friends ever since. That initial experience sparked a deepened interest in yoga, ultimately leading her to complete her teacher training with Yoga Scotland in 2018.
Now an experienced and compassionate teacher, Liliana brings a calm, grounded presence and a thoughtful approach to every class she leads. She regularly supports our retreats, offering valuable insights and guidance — giving participants the benefit of learning from not just one, but two dedicated and knowledgeable teachers.
Based in Edinburgh, Liliana runs a thriving yoga and wellbeing business, offering regular classes and workshops designed to support both body and mind.
She is also a qualified Solutions-focused Hypnotherapist, helping clients create lasting, positive change through her practice at Indigo Hypnotherapy.
