Nairn welcomes teacher and author Nadia Gilani for special yoga practice
A YOGA teacher, writer and influencer will be visiting a Nairn studio as part of her UK tour on Friday.
Author Nadia Gilani will be the special guest at the Highland Yoga Collective Yoga Studio, where she will be leading a yoga session before presenting her book, The Yoga Manifesto at The Highland Weigh on the High Street.
Ms Gilani, known as The Yoga Dissident on social channels, is an advocate for inclusivity in yoga and a strong critic of the industry surrounding modern yoga.
The yoga session – a 90-minute dynamic practice that will end with some restful floor-based Yin postures – will start at 5.30pm and will be followed by tea, cake and chat about the book.
Founder of the Highland Yoga Collective, Fiona Palmer, said: "We are so excited to be hosting Nadia this Friday as part of her Yoga Manifesto Tour.
"In her book,'The Yoga Manifesto 'Nadia creates a love letter to yoga and a passionate critique of the billion-dollar industry whose cost and inaccessibility has shut out many of those it should be helping.
"The Yoga Manifesto excavates where the industry has gone wrong, and what can be done to save the practice from its own success.
"We are delighted that we have the opportunity to come together in practice with Nadia and also listen to Nadia share her personal yoga journey with us."
She added that this ethos reflects in the collective's purpose.
"The Highland Yoga Collective is a yoga studio and social enterprise," she said. "We offer wellbeing with a social impact, in a warm, accessible and inclusive space that is welcoming to all."
Tickets for the yoga practice are available on the Highland Yoga Collective's website (full price £45, £25 concession).
