David Muir, fresh from winning International Fitness Showcase Presenter of the Year, is here to entertain you, engage you, and inspire you as we open the weekend in unforgettable style.

David doesn’t just lead a session — he sets a standard. And for this weekend, that standard is simple but powerful:
No judgment. You’re better than you think you are. Be free. Be happy. Or just… be.
This bespoke Silent Disco experience is crafted to create the perfect mood for the days ahead. With your headphones on, the world fades away and the energy becomes electric. You’ll hear every beat, every lyric, and every word of encouragement with crystal clarity — as if David is speaking directly to you. Expect to move, smile, loosen up, and let the weekend wash over you. This is your moment to arrive fully, shake off the week, and step into something bigger, brighter, and beautifully freeing.

Fresh from winning International Fitness Showcase Presenter of the Year, David brings his trademark blend of warmth, humour, and inspiration to this gentle yet powerful practice.

This 5pm Friday session is your invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your body after a busy week. David’s Soulful Stretch is designed to release tension, restore balance, and leave you feeling lighter, calmer, and ready for everything the weekend has in store.

Expect thoughtful movement, mindful mobility, and a flow that feels as good for the mind as it does for the body. David has a rare ability to make every participant feel seen, supported, and capable — and his energy sets the perfect tone for the Summer Solstice. Whether you’re preparing for a full weekend of activity or simply craving a moment of calm, this session will help you reset, recharge, and rise.

Info: Sunset Yoga with Anna — Breathe, Unwind & Glow
As the sun melts into the horizon over East Sands, join Anna for a calming and soul‑soothing Sunset Yoga session that feels like a deep exhale at the end of the day. There’s something magical about practising with the sound of the waves, the golden light, and the wide‑open sky — and Anna brings a gentle, grounding energy that makes the experience even more special.

Originally from Poland, Anna’s journey has taken her through Jersey and the Channel Islands before true love brought her to Scotland. She joined FSLT earlier this year, and her yoga sessions have already been incredibly well received. Her teaching style is warm, steady, and beautifully intuitive — the kind of guidance that helps you soften into the moment and reconnect with yourself.

This session invites you to move slowly, breathe deeply, and let the day fall away. As the colours shift across the sky, you’ll flow through mindful postures that release tension, restore balance

Info: Campfire Music with Adele — Connect, Unwind & Feel the Magic
As Friday evening settles in and the glow of the campfire begins to warm the shore, join us for a truly special experience with our beautiful and talented instructor Adele. We’re thrilled to welcome her back to share something unique, heartfelt, and deeply connective.

Adele will treat us to her own bespoke music — soulful, soothing, and created with the same authenticity she brings to her yoga practice. This is a moment to gather together, breathe out the day, and let the music wrap around you.

Sing if you want to. Dance if you feel called. Sway, smile, listen, or simply sit in the stillness and be fully present. There’s no right way to experience this — just your way.

The crackle of the fire, the sound of the sea, the company of community, and Adele’s beautiful voice create an atmosphere that feels grounding, uplifting, and a little bit magical.

A perfect way to end the evening and ease into the Solstice weekend.

Give yourself the gift of time and space to grow. In this uplifting self‑development session, life coach Amanda Baxter guides you through a powerful blend of reflection, insight, and gentle personal exploration. Amanda’s warm, grounded presence creates an atmosphere where you can slow down, tune in, and reconnect with the version of yourself you may have forgotten to prioritise.

Through thoughtful prompts, meaningful discussion, and moments of quiet clarity, you’ll be encouraged to look inward with curiosity rather than pressure.
