‘Yazzie has the most unflinchingly positive attitude of anyone I know. Time with her leaves you feeling inspired to give anything a go. She makes you feel good about yourself and seems to genuinely care about helping you achieve your goals. I'm going to treat myself to a Wilderness Fit every year!"’ - Pennie Latin Stuart

Yaz Basan

Yaz

Yaz is the founder of WildernessFit retreats. She has a passion for movement and Scottish landscapes. "There is something about the rugged and wild landscapes in Scotland that make me feel so incredibly alive. When I move my body in them through trail running, hiking, scrambling or outdoor workouts, I generate an electric energy. My aim is to encourage others to access the outdoors in a fun and positive way whilst connecting to the land they are in on a deeper level."

Yaz is a level 3 personal trainer and Summer Mountain Leader, she will guide you on your hill days and create nature based, outdoor workouts for you on the retreats. Yaz loves making everyone feel at home and will be creating the majority of the meals throughout the weekend and ensure you have a magical time.

Hannah

Hannah is a naturopathic nutritionist specialising in gut health and fermentation and is the owner of Gut Feelings Kombucha in Findhorn. With a passion for maintaining a connection to land and low-waste living, Hannah offers a variety of workshops in which she teaches lost skills of preservation as a way of making the most of the produce within Scotland whilst also benefitting gut health. With a drive for continued learning, the sessions that Hannah offers will adapt over time as the information about gut health develops.

Alongside nutrition, Hannah is a keen basket weaver and will be available to offer a session of willow weaving at some of the retreats. Learning this skill is not only beneficial as a mode of working with nature but also as a way of encouraging mindful presence as you work with the willow.
