108 SUN SALUTATIONS at Merchant City Yoga
Saturday 20th December 2025
9.15-11.30
Merchant City Yoga brings their community together to move, breathe, laugh and raise vital funds for Yogability by completing 108 Sun Salutations in an hour!
If 108 sounds daunting, don’t worry – this event is definitely about spirit, not perfection. You can step instead of jump, use your knees, skip a few rounds, rest whenever you need to – and MCY will be counting you through every single one. The magic lies in joining in, moving together and knowing each sun salutation is helping keep Yogability’s work alive.
Take part in the studio and celebrate afterwards with a lovingly prepared festive brunch from the Yogability team or gather online with some pals, flow together at home.

Spa Day
Our latest Spa Day was a huge success and brought old and new members of the Yogability community together on 25/10/2025 at one of our favourite settings, All Saint’s Church in Bearsden. https://bearsden.church.scot
The afternoon included one hour of Yin yoga, a 30 minute massage and tea/coffee, cake and chat!
Thanks so much to all who came to make the day a lovely community event.
Here are some photos of the day.
Special thanks to Sally at manatherapies.co.uk for volunteering to help the massage team.
On 21st June 2025 the Yogability team hosted a fundraising event at The Lodge Forest Visitor Centre in Aberfoyle. Helen McGinn (Area Services Visitor Manager) and her team helped those in attendance to join in with gentle yoga sessions, provided by 4 of our Yogability teaching team. Participants could also be pampered by Debbie and Jen if wishing to have a mini massage and were able to relax and enjoy the local surroundings and the yummy food in the Visitor Centre cafe.

Yogability Retreats
Yogability teachers and volunteers have organised many weekend retreats away for those members of the yogability community wishing some respite away from their carer responsibilities. The retreats are an opportunity to relax in lovely surroundings, chat and relax with others. The retreats are a lovely opportunity to meet new and old friends and fellow carers, relax, participate in yoga and massage, enjoy lovely food and drinks and look after their own wellbeing for a weekend in great company! Here are some of the lovely people who have, over the years, made these weekends so fabulous for all concerned!
In the beginning…
