Wild Mums
Wild Mums is an ongoing wellbeing project created in collaboration with Mum's Day, Elgin.
Every fortnight we meet at the Hopeman Beach, where mums across Moray have the opportunity to step away from the demands of everyday life and take some well-deserved time for themselves.
Every fortnight, we meet at the beautiful Hopeman Beach, where Yaz leads an energising beach workout inspired by the natural landscape.
The session is followed by a relaxing sauna and sea swim with Fhyrhus Sauna, before we gather for a belter and a brew on the beach.
Some sessions are a little different, with Yaz cooking a delicious Sunday brunch over the fire before everyone enjoys the sauna together.
Wild Mums is about more than movement and cold water, it's about creating space to connect, recharge, build confidence, and find community with other mums in a supportive, welcoming environment.
A huge thank you to Fhyrhus Sauna for making this project possible through their generous discounted sauna sessions.
We ask for a suggested donation of £10 per session, where possible. Every contribution goes directly towards covering the sauna costs and helping us keep Wild Mums accessible and sustainable.

Hear from our past attendees
A renewed sense of purpose
Yaz’s Wilderness Wellbeing retreat was truly transformative for me. Before attending, I was struggling to come to terms with the car accident that had upended my life. The combination of physical activity, nature, the creative arts and deep mental health work offered at the retreat, helped me see things from a new perspective. (more…)
BenThe first time I spoke with Yas I knew that not only was she creating something special at her retreat but the benefit that it would give some of our lads from ANDY’S MAN CLUB. I attended the first one with my colleague and both of us were very nervous about what to expect. Within minutes of entering the family home we were made to feel a part of the family straight away and that led to an amazing weekend of self discovery. (more…)

Made to feel very welcome by the family and staff, they couldn’t treat us any better. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the experience was amazing- So many different events that was accessible for everyone. (more…)
Andy’s Man ClubYaz is an amazing woman, who has so much passion in helping and sharing with others.
Her skill in bringing people together is unmatched and you can see she genuinely cares so much for every single person in the room.
An inspiration and a privilege to be on her retreat this winter thanks again for you time & passion.

Deep work for body and mind
Yaz’s outdoor fitness sessions are way better than a gym, great fun and easily replicable on your own turf. The yoga was like no other yoga class I’ve attended, this was deep work for body and mind. And the professional massage and fermenting workshops were cherries on the cake! To do all this in the spectacular setting of Torridon, with outdoor swimming, hot tubs and live music was a balm for the soul.
