WE ARE PROVIDING A 3 COURSE MENU AND DISCO FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT, WHY NOT GET ALL FRIENDS OR FAMILY OR COLLEAGUES TOGETHER TO DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY.
As the nights begin to draw in, join us for a special evening of yoga and nature connection at the gorgeous Kinrara House
We will begin our evening in the beautiful grounds of Kinrara estate, walking through woodland and up to the Duke of Gordon viewpoint looking over the Cairngorm mountains. Led by a local wildlife guide, we will learn more about the land we are walking through and looking at, and what Cairngorms Connect is doing to protect and restore it.
As darkness begins to fall, we will return to cosy Kinrara House for a candle-lit yoga session, led by local yoga instructor Jo of Wilderness Flow Yoga, who will guide us through a dynamic yoga flow, suitable for beginners.
To round off the evening we will share a delicious meal of Cairngorms Connect venison, prepared by The Pagoda. This local, sustainable source of meat is an important part of the habitat restoration story, and gives us another way to connect with the land we are in. (A vegetarian/vegan option will also be available.)
Booking is essential.
