Stay Scotland Studio: A New Space for Wellness, Creativity & Retreats in Innerleithen

Following the transformation of the Tweedside Hotel into stunning self-catered accommodation, Stay Scotland is excited to share the next step in its journey…

Fresh from the transformation of the historic Tweedside Hotel into stunning self-catered accommodation, Stay Scotland is proud to introduce the next chapter: the Stay Scotland Studio.

This beautifully renovated space (once the old pool room) has been reimagined as a light-filled, versatile studio in the heart of Innerleithen, Scottish Borders. With a calming atmosphere and modern design, it’s the perfect venue for yoga, pilates, meditation, workshops, and retreats.

From Pool Room to Peaceful Studio

The pool room once buzzed with activity in its hotel days, but had long since fallen quiet. Juliet Thomson, Owner of Stay Scotland saw its potential to become something more — a place for movement, mindfulness, and community. The result is a studio that blends the Tweedside’s history with a fresh sense of purpose: welcoming people in once again, this time for wellness, creativity, and connection.

The Next Chapter of Stay Scotland

The Stay Scotland Studio is now open for venue hire. Whether you’re a yoga or pilates teacher seeking a regular class space, a creative hosting a one-off workshop, or someone planning a small group gathering, the studio provides a flexible and inspiring setting.

With natural light, soft finishes, and a tranquil feel, it’s designed to support both wellbeing and creativity. Its central location in Innerleithen also makes it easy to reach for locals and visitors staying in the Borders.

Inner Wild Retreats | 6th December 2025

Excitingly, the studio will also host Inner Wild Retreats, carefully crafted experiences designed to help guests switch off from daily life and reconnect with nature, creativity, and themselves. Surrounded by the beauty of the Scottish Borders, the retreats will bring together movement, mindfulness, and local inspiration for a truly restorative experience.

Born from a vision to bring women together in nature, movement and stillness

Join Juliet Thompson and Ashley Marley for their very first women’s retreat in the heart of the Tweed Valley. On the 6th December 2025, you’ll be guided through movement, creativity, and stillness – taking time to breathe deeply, reconnect with nature, and return home to yourself.

✨ What’s Included ✨

An immersive day retreat designed to gently guide you from doing… into being.

The Art of Stillness is a creative and nervous system–soothing experience rooted in yoga, seasonal ritual, and mindful expression – a chance to soften before winter fully arrives and to remember the medicine of quiet.

You’ll be held in a flow of:

• 90-minute slow-flow yoga to unlock tension and land back in your body
• Guided intuitive painting session – no experience needed, just curiosity
• Breath work and mindfulness workshop to reset your inner pace
• Deep rest through Yoga Nidra to complete the nervous system repair
• Nourishing seasonal lunch and gift bag to take a little of the magic home

This is a gentle invitation to pause before the rush, reconnect to your inner landscape, and tend to your inner life with creativity, breath and presence.

No prior experience in yoga or art is required – just a willingness to slow down.
