Therabands are used to gently build strength and support joint health and stability. The session also includes mindful breathing and relaxation to help ease tension and boost energy.

✨ Winter Warmer Retreat ✨

We welcome you to join us for a nourishing winter half day retreat of yoga, meditation, and sound healing at our warm and welcoming studio in Scott Skinner Square, Banchory.

Take time to relax, recharge, and bring a little inner sparkle to the winter season. Let soothing sounds, gentle movement, breathwork, and meditation melt away any winter blues.

We will begin the morning with a warming yoga flow led by Laura Ross, continue with a winter-inspired guided meditation by Lynsey Birnie, then drift into calm with a restorative sound bath by Vikki Cleal

Afterwards, enjoy a delicious private brunch at The Liberty Kitchen (soon to be Luna and Loam under its new owner) — just around the corner from the studio.

The perfect way to welcome winter with warmth, wellbeing, and community. 💛

Today we’re celebrating our Social Prescribing Model! 🙌

This month marks one full year since we opened our wellbeing studio and we couldn’t be prouder of what’s been achieved within our social enterprise (CIC). Today we celebrate our social prescribing model.

Over the past year, we’ve been in a position to gift 12 fully funded spaces for our special seasonal wellbeing events — including our Winter Retreat, Winter Warmer, Spring Equinox Day Retreat, Summer Solstice Celebration, and Autumn Equinox event.

Our Social Prescribing Scheme is open to everyone. You can refer yourself or someone else who might benefit from rest, connection, and holistic wellbeing support. 💜

Last year, on Social Prescribing Day, we hosted two workshops for the public, health professionals, and local groups. These sessions helped build awareness of our referral system, connect with our community, gather feedback, and explore challenges and opportunities around social prescribing. We were delighted (and a little surprised!) that both sessions were fully attended and even ran over time because the discussions were flowing and so great to listen to.

We’re continuing to build strong relationships within our community and with local health professionals, with lots more exciting plans.… watch this space 👀

💫 Thank you to everyone who has supported us with this so far 🙏

A Year of Community Connection & Wellbeing 🌿

As we look back over the past year, we’re feeling incredibly proud and grateful for everything our wellbeing studio (CIC) community has achieved together 💚

✨ Each month, we’ve hosted two free / donation based classes. One for adults and one for pre-school children, helping to make wellbeing accessible to everyone.

🌞 Over the summer, we also added extra sessions for school age children and pre-teens giving young people the opportunity to visit our studio and enjoy a sessions for their wellbeing.

We’re also so lucky to have a wonderful team of practitioners who not only hold their regular classes from our studio but also give their time and energy to our community offerings. Between us all we’ve been able to share an incredible variety of classes from Beginners Yoga to Power Yoga, Meditation, Mindfulness, and Self Love Yoga for Teens 💫

It’s been amazing to see these classes fill up month after month and to hear such positive feedback from everyone who takes part. Your support and enthusiasm remind us why we do what we do — and how powerful community can be when we come together 💚

Our monthly adult donation based classes/workshops in 2025 have been made possible by the award of grant funding from the Aberdeenshire Communities Mental Health & Wellbeing Fund Round 4.

Through these sessions, we’ve:
💫 Supported mental and physical wellbeing across all ages
💫 Built connections and confidence within our local community
💫 Made wellbeing accessible to everyone — no barriers, no limits

Thank you to everyone involved 🙏

Laura, Vikki & Lyns xx
