What is Gentle Yoga
Nurture your body, calm your mind and awaken the power of your breath.
If you are looking for gentle yoga in Edinburgh, this practice offers a welcoming way to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with your body and mind. Rooted in a tradition that spans thousands of years, yoga is far more than physical movement—it is a holistic practice that brings together body, breath and awareness. At the heart of yoga philosophy are the eight limbs of yoga, which guide us towards greater balance, mindfulness and connection both within ourselves and with the world around us. Through gentle stretches, mindful breathing and moments of quiet stillness, gentle yoga creates space to release tension, improve mobility and support overall well-being.
My gentle yoga classes in Edinburgh are designed to be calm, supportive and accessible for everyone, including beginners or those looking for a slower, more mindful style of yoga. In a world that often asks us to move faster and do more, stepping onto the mat can feel like coming home to yourself. Each breath becomes an opportunity to quiet the mind, ease the body and create space for rest and renewal. As the Bhagavad Gita reminds us, “Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.” Whether you are completely new to yoga or searching for beginner-friendly yoga classes in Edinburgh, these gentle sessions offer a nurturing environment where you can move at your own pace while developing strength, flexibility and inner calm.
Meet Your Teacher
Hello, I’m so glad you’re here.
My intention in every yoga class and workshop I teach is simple: to create a warm, welcoming space where everyone feels safe, comfortable and supported. Yoga should never feel intimidating or exclusive. Instead, it can be a place where you arrive exactly as you are—giving yourself time to breathe, move, and reconnect with your body and mind.
In my Edinburgh based classes, I gently guide students through their practice while encouraging them to listen to their own bodies. Everyone’s journey is different, and yoga offers us the opportunity to explore what feels right for us individually. My hope is that each person leaves feeling a little more open, relaxed and connected to themselves, having discovered new possibilities within their body, breath and mind.
Although I qualified as a Hatha yoga teacher in 2021, my journey with mindfulness and breath began much earlier. When I was 12 years old, I took part in a two-year study with Edinburgh University that explored the benefits of meditation and visualisation for gymnasts. At the time I was deeply involved in gymnastics, and the techniques we learned helped improve focus and performance. But more importantly, they gave me tools that helped calm my mind during my teenage years. That experience was my first real introduction to how powerful the mind and breath can be when we learn how to work with them.
At 17, I had surgery on my left shoulder after years of recurrent dislocations that began when I was 14. During the procedure my shoulder was pinned and both my biceps and triceps were shortened. At the time I was told that arthritis in that shoulder by the age of 20 would be almost inevitable due to the surgery. Hearing that at such a young age encouraged me to start exploring ways to care for my body for the long term. This is when yoga first came into my life. I had read that a regular yoga practice could help maintain mobility and support joint health, so I began to practise gently. More than 30 years later, I’m very grateful to say that I still have no sign of arthritis in that shoulder.
Life also brought challenges that deepened my connection to breathwork. When I was 25, my husband was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He faced the illness with incredible courage during a three-year battle, and during that time I found myself leaning heavily on breathwork and pranayama. These practices became invaluable in helping me stay calm during moments of uncertainty and helped me manage anxiety and panic attacks. Breath became something I could always return to when things felt overwhelming.
Those life experiences have shaped the way I teach today. Yoga, for me, is far more than physical movement. It’s a collection of simple but powerful tools that can support us through life’s challenges as well as its joys.
In my classes (Gorgie Edinburgh), I share gentle movement, breathing practices and moments of stillness that students can take with them off the mat and into their everyday lives. My aim is always to create a space where people feel comfortable exploring their practice at their own pace, without judgement or pressure.
Yoga has supported me through many stages of life, and it’s a privilege to share that journey with others. I truly believe that everyone can benefit from yoga, and I look forward to welcoming you to a class whenever you feel ready.
