Had the joy (with a healthy dash of nerves!) of heading down to Inverness to speak on the closing panel for participants of the 8-year long programme IMPACT30.

I find social business/networking situations very nerve wracking! So no photos of the event as for the first half I was completely disregulated and for the second half I was enjoying that I felt more settled and had moved through the nerves.

I did IMPACT30 in 2022-2023 as part of cohort 7, specifically for . Since then I've joined in Sarasana Yoga, and .studio under the umbrella of Sara Friend - Yoga, Doula and Studio Services. I've expanded to teaching 8 classes a week from 3, designed our own Hypnobirthing and Birth Preparation Course with .doula and have a new project in the works to reach those beyond Orkney.

Throughout the 8 years, IMPACT30 had 15 cohorts training over 300 young entrapranuers from across the Highlands and Islands in a year long business programme. It's been a huge launch pad for me and and given me the confidence to expand and juggle. It's woven in many great connections, from resources to organisations to utilise.

Thank you 🙏

The trip and travel time has been great for me continuing the Embodied Philosophy course on Vedic Philosophy (with teacher Edwin Bryant) and the Advanced Practitioner Accessible/Chair Yoga training with (Jivana Heyman) I've been doing. It's been a few years since I did a specifically yoga focused CPD and I've missed it. The focused growth with my previous knowledge base was important, but boy do I love learning and geeking out about yoga!

Oh yes, & it was fabulous to pass Judith Glues shop and see a little bit of Orkney in Inverness!

Some accidental ASMR and a little peak at what we did in the first ever class of Intro to Yoga tonight.

Yoga is so so much more than just Asana (postures), and while we will spend a lot of time on that in this series, I do love to give students a grounding of yoga philosophy and history (mainly overview of the schools of thought).

So good to see some familiar faces there. You don't have to be a newbie to yoga to get benefit from this course. Refreshing the basics can be so beneficial, even for an experienced practitioner.

Great feedback too, thank you everyone who came, nearly a full house too!

(also I'm sure there is more to the Kundalini lineage side... Tbh I'm just not that knowledgeable in that kind of Yoga, so please enlighten me if you know 🙏)

✨ New Weekly Class Highlight ✨

Looking for a yoga practice with very little effort and maximum nervous system rewards where you still walk away with that deep stretched feeling?

Then you should absolutely try out Restorative Yoga. It's like mix between meditation and yoga, exploring all kinds of meditation and breathwork techniques to help you ground in the moment and in the stillness.

This weekly class will be starting .studio in Kirkwall this Sunday, 19:00 - 20:00. A perfect time for an deep evening rest before the busy-ness of you week begins again.

After all that snow, the true start to this year's classes starts tomorrow 🎉

We'll start this year as we always do by turning to the 8 Limbs of Yoga to guide the theme of practice.

First up is the Niyamas (ethical restraints) and the first of those is Ahimsa (non-violence/harm)

Interested in how this fits into the physical practice of Yoga? Come and see!

Exciting times in 2026! And with the start of any new chapter, it's often a great time to set intentions. If one of your intentions includes strength, flexibility, equilibrium and balance why not come and practice yoga with me in the sanctuary of Noust Studio

The first class back will be Tuesday's January 6th Yoga Flow (a mix of Vinyasa and Slow Flow) class, weekly 17:40-18:40

Next up with be the new Introduction to Yoga, starting Thursday January 8th 19:00 - 20:00 and running for 5 weeks. This block of classes will be run every 4 months.

On Sunday the 18th starts weekly evening Restorative Yoga, 19:00 - 20:00 a perfect way to start the new week restored and grounded!

Then after the mid-term break, a weekly daytime Chair Yoga class will start on the 25th of Feburary, Tuesdays 13:15 - 14:00.

There's a range of pricing available with a 5-week All Class Pass for £66, working out at £3.30/class if you make all 4 every week and about the same as a drop-in class if you make 6 hour long classes in the 5 weeks.

Every new year I also reintroduce The Eight Limbs of Yoga in my Tuesday evening class, so I'll soon do a post on that too ✨ Beacuse some of the sub-limbs and limbs encourage meditation I'll also weave this themeing into the Restorative Yoga Class this year 🥰

Trust the music, trust the flow!

I've been leaning into the energy of it all more and more as these years roll on.

I may have boked at these words when I was younger, or maybe a high note would have resonated. It's hard not to see or feel it now. Class planning and each class is much like playing an instrument, allowing those unknown parts of myself to sense and respond, to lead in a meaniful direction for those who attend.

I use to be all plans and strict adherence, but it's been beautiful to let the trust grow and the playfulness as well.

Om Shanti ✨

This year I'm finishing out my regular Tuesday evening classes on December 16th with a 2hr Christmas Special designed to press that reset button on your nervous system, give you a place to land, connect and restore - designed and run in collaboration with Kirsteen Stewart ✨

www.picktime.com/sarasanayoga
(head to the date and choose the 'yoga flow' class 😉)

Inspired by the stress both Kirsteen and I have heard so many of you express, and that level of activity and busyness that can come this season! Gift yourself this time where you can pause.

We'll intertwine yoga and reiki, and finish with some festive nibbles and drinks.

A few spots are already filled, sign up sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment. We'd love to see you there!

I believe a lot in both systems and flexibility. Systems that help me create the life and experience I want, and flexibility when enevitably those stytems don't go to plan. Adapt, change, recalibrate, keep going.

They don't always pan out, but the one with the right intention I keep tying at, with ease.

Putting my phone away a certain times, trying to a along life at particular hours. How can we all be present in an every technology centric world.

What are your systems, if you have any?
