✨ Yin Yoga & Peter Hess Sound Therapy Evening ✨
Join Kim – Soul Provider and Laura – Personal Best for a deeply nourishing evening of relaxation and restoration on Friday 30th January, 7.30–9.00pm at Highland Yoga Collective.
This unique session blends Yin Yoga with Peter Hess Therapy-grade Sound Bowls, creating a powerful experience that supports both body and mind. Through long-held, passive stretches, Yin Yoga works deeply into the muscles, fascia and connective tissues, while also calming the nervous system and supporting the flow of Prana / Chi.
Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this winter-themed practice will focus on the Bladder meridian – associated with the Water element and the emotion of fear. This meridian is linked to symptoms such as urinary issues and headaches, and the practice is designed to help bring these energies back into balance. As you rest in each pose, the Peter Hess sound bowls will gently stimulate the areas of the body being worked, enhancing release and deep relaxation.
Expect to leave feeling peaceful, grounded and balanced.

🌊 End of Year – 2025 🌊
As 2025 comes to a close, I’ve been taking some time to reflect — and my heart is full of gratitude.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this year, whether you donated to one of my charity fundraisers, showed up week after week to yoga classes, joined me for personal training, or supported events in any way. Your commitment to your own health and wellbeing, and to the wider community, is truly inspiring.
This year brought some unforgettable moments:
✨ Jonny and I ran 96 miles along the West Highland Way over 3 days, raising £3,000 for RNLI
✨ I ran the Inverness Marathon in a faster time than my very first marathon in Paris in 2009 — proof that age really is just a number
✨ I collaborated with amazing local businesses KG Scotland and Sauna Ostara to create special wellbeing events
✨ I worked with Blue Space Highland, offering beach yoga to help people connect mindfully with nature and support mental health
✨ I managed to hold Beach Yoga on our beautiful beach almost every weekend, right through to the Winter Solstice, raising £170 for Blue Space Highland
✨ Weekly yoga classes at Highland Yoga Collective, alongside weekly Yoga & Spin sessions at Nairn Sports Club
✨ Teaching Beach Yoga Solstice events with Highland Yoga Collective
✨ Weekly online Yin Yoga, with monthly Yin & Sound Healing events alongside Kim Brown of Soul Provider at Highland Yoga Collective
As I look back, I’m grateful for every part of the journey — even the long, tough 30-mile training runs in deep sand. Every step was worth it, and every bit of support meant more than you know.
Looking ahead, I’ve already set my first challenge for 2026:
🏃‍♀️ Moray Way Ultras – Moray Coastal Trail 50 miler (May 2026)
🏃‍♀️ Raising money for charity once again
Thank you for being part of such a special year.
✨ Watch this space for more exciting events in 2026 ✨
With gratitude,
Laura

Join me for a magical Sunset, Winter Solstice, Beach Yoga session in support of Blue Space Highland . As we gather on the sand to welcome the return of the light, we’ll move through a gentle standing sequence designed to ground, restore, and uplift as the days begin to lengthen again.

Their work helps people find calm, confidence, and resilience through simple, nature-based experiences — something especially meaningful at this reflective time of year.
