Solāis Wellness

26/10/2026

Have you ever wondered how much influence your breathing has over the way you feel, think and respond to stress?

Breathing is one of the few automatic functions in the body that we can also consciously control. Yet most of us have never been taught how to use it.

The way we breathe can influence our heart rate, concentration, stress response and ability to settle. Different breathing techniques can produce remarkably different physiological responses.

So what if you could understand the science behind your breathing and learn practical techniques to support yourself in everyday life?

On Saturday 12 December, we’re hosting a very special two-hour introduction to Pranayama at Solāis Wellness in Dunblane.

Pranayama is the traditional yogic practice of consciously regulating the breath. Through specific techniques involving breathing patterns, rhythm and pace, we can learn to influence how our body responds.

This isn’t your typical breathwork experience.

At Solāis, we’re not interested in forced hyperventilation, pushing people to their limits or creating intense experiences for the sake of it.

We’re interested in understanding the body, working with its physiology and developing practical skills that can be used consistently.

And we couldn’t have found a better person to guide this experience.

Meet Siobhan Fitzgerald.

Siobhan is one of only 18 practitioners worldwide trained in the specialist methodology of prescriptive Pranayama.

Her extensive training includes three years at the prestigious Kaivalyadhama Institute in India, studying traditional practices alongside specialists in medicine, neuroscience and breathing physiology. She is also a fully qualified Ayurvedic consultant.

What will you take away from the workshop?

Over two hours, you’ll explore how breathing influences the nervous system, discover the differences between breathing techniques and learn how to practice Pranayama in a way that supports your individual needs.

You’ll leave with a better understanding of your own breathing and practical techniques you can continue using at home.

No previous experience is necessary. Just curiosity and a willingness to learn.

MEET OUR MEMBERS | LYNORE 🤍

Lynore has been part of Solāis since the very beginning, visiting once a week.

She first came to us looking for an alternative way to ease the physical tension she carries, something that would help her body relax without relying on medication.

For Lynore, it’s the calm she feels from the moment she walks through the door. Closing the curtain, leaving everything else outside and knowing she has half an hour entirely to herself.

And what keeps her coming back?

“It’s working for me. I feel better after my session.”

She describes her experience in three words: chilled, lighter and peaceful.

It’s lovely to hear how something as simple as a regular half hour of quiet can make a difference, particularly for someone who finds themselves holding so much tension.

Thank you, Lynore, for supporting Solāis from the beginning, for making us part of your week and for recommending us to others. 🤍

❄️ Living in the Scottish cold and rain does a lot more than just ruin your weekend plans. It forces your body into a constant state of environmental survival.

If you feel extra run-down, stiff, or blue during the winter, here is exactly what the climate is doing to your biology and why infrared heat is your ultimate weapon. ❄️

MEET OUR MEMBERS | MASAMI 🤍

Masami has been visiting Solāis every week since December 2025.

Having previously experienced infrared therapy in Japan, she had been looking for somewhere to continue her sessions when Solāis popped up on Facebook.

Her favourite part? Being able to disconnect from the outside world and connect with herself and her body.

She describes feeling “100% refreshed and recharged” after her sessions, with her body feeling lighter and a gentle warmth that stays with her until bedtime.

It’s lovely to hear how much these regular moments of quiet mean to the people who visit us.

Thank you, Masami, for sharing your experience and for making Solāis part of your week. 🤍

True recovery shouldn’t feel like a workout.

By stripping away cold plunges, hard wooden benches and the need to stay alert or self-aware, we’ve created a private sanctuary for people who simply want to lie down, relax deeply and make looking after their physical and mental wellbeing a regular part of life.

Three new members joined Solāis last week, so I wanted to explain a little about why people choose the monthly membership, and why so many keep coming back.

Some of our members have been coming every single week for over a year now, almost since the day Solāis opened.

But you don’t need to commit to us for a year.

The minimum membership is just two months. After that, you can stay for as long as it is useful to you, take a break, or come back when you need it again.

There’s no awkwardness about leaving. No expectation that once you join, you have to stay indefinitely.

Because the point of membership isn’t to keep you tied into Solāis. It’s to make regular recovery more accessible when your body needs it.

And this time of year, many people notice that need more.

The light is reducing. The temperature is dropping. Bodies can feel stiffer, energy can change and it can become harder to properly switch off.

For £80 per month, membership gives you four private 30-minute infrared sessions to use across the month.

That’s £20 per session.

A regular break in your week to reach a deeper state of rest, bring your attention back into your body and give your system consistent support, rather than waiting until you feel completely depleted.

£80 per month
4 × 30-minute sessions
2-month minimum
No joining fee
No hidden costs

If regular infrared sessions at a more accessible rate would be useful to you over the darker months, send me a message and I’ll get you set up.

20 Solāis vouchers heading out to one local business this week for their staff 🤍

If you’d like to purchase a pack, just send me a message. They can be gifted individually, shared amongst friends or family, or even split between you and your partner for regular sessions together.

6 sessions £150 | 10 sessions £220

These Christmas packs won’t be around forever.

Is it too early to talk Christmas? 😂

Christmas gift voucher packages are now available.

Recently, I’ve had quite a few clients purchasing several Solāis gift vouchers at once, so alongside the existing gift voucher options on our website, I’m introducing package pricing across individual vouchers for the first time:

6 x 30-minute gift vouchers — £150
10 x 30-minute gift vouchers — £220

Each voucher can be gifted individually, making them ideal for family, friends, staff Christmas gifts, thank-yous, rewards or simply getting a few presents sorted in one go.

Each recipient gets their own private, tailored 30-minute infrared recovery session at Solāis.

Vouchers can be collected from the studio or posted directly to you.

These package rates won’t be listed on the website, so just send me a message if you’d like me to put one together for you.

Finding your rhythm at Solāis.

I was looking through some of my figures recently and realised that three out of four people who come to Solāis choose to come back.

For my first year in business, that means a lot. More and more new clients are also coming through the door because a friend, partner or family member has told them about Solāis first, and I’m so grateful for every recommendation.

Sometimes you’re the one sent in first as the guinea pig. Sometimes you’re the one raving about it to someone else before you’ve even managed to book yourself. And sometimes you’ve heard good things for months but just haven’t found the right moment yet.

So I wanted to reshare the different ways to come to Solāis for anyone new here, or anyone trying to work out what would suit them best.

The 3, 6 and 10-session packs all give you different levels of flexibility, while the monthly membership is there for people who prefer to have their sessions built into the month and taken care of.

If you’re thinking about trying Solāis for the first time, feeling a bit nervous about what to expect, or still waiting for your other half to test it first 😂, just drop me a message. I’m always happy to talk you through it.

A wee note on appointments 🤍

This morning alone I’ve had three appointments needing to be rescheduled on the day. I completely understand that people get ill, caring responsibilities change and life happens. It’s also one of the reasons I’ve always tried to be as flexible as I can at Solāis.

However, as a small studio with appointments booked individually around each person, last-minute changes can leave significant gaps in my day that I can’t realistically refill or rearrange.

So I’m going to need to be a little more consistent with the 12-hour cancellation and rescheduling policy that is already in place. If an appointment is cancelled or moved within 12 hours, the session will be counted as used.

For monthly members, your membership is based on one session per week. If you can’t make your session that week, it doesn’t carry forward or accumulate into another week.

I’ll always be as understanding as I can, but I also need to protect the time that has been reserved for you and keep the diary manageable.

Thank you, as always, for understanding and respecting my time too. 🤍

I built an entire studio around infrared and light therapy because their value is not confined to one narrow outcome.

Looking after your health is rarely about one system in isolation. Nervous system function, circulation, mitochondrial function, cellular signalling, inflammation, thermoregulation and sleep all contribute to the wider picture.

Infrared heat and red and near-infrared light interact with several of those physiological processes through different mechanisms.

That is why I do not see infrared as something you tack onto the end of a treatment to make it feel more complete.

Infrared is not the extra. It is the main event.
