Small, friendly hatha classes in Bearsden, on the north side of Glasgow. Three students at most, so you get proper individual attention and real room to develop your practice.
I came to teaching yoga the roundabout way: I’ve been a pharmacist for years, I run, I lift, and I also have a regular Ashtanga practice. All of which is to say, I get bodies that are stiff, tired, sore or brand new to this. You’re welcome exactly as you are.
Trained in Hatha yoga (200 hours, YogaJo’s), now completing 300-hour advanced training.
If you’ve got questions, anything at all, please ask.
With only three of you, I can see each person and tailor what I offer, so the practice bends around your body rather than the other way round. Over time you’ll build flexibility, strength and a quiet confidence that comes from connecting with your body and your breath. You don’t need to be bendy. You don’t need to touch your toes. You just need to turn up.
I demonstrate everything, then watch closely and adjust for each of you. I’ll tell you what a pose is for and what to feel for, in plain language, and the breath always matters more than the shape. And we finish with a proper rest. I’ll never cut that short to squeeze more in.
“Her demeanor is so comforting and warm, you never feel awkward, and she truly makes you feel you can do anything no matter your ability! … With a maximum of just three people per class, it feels more like an exclusive boutique yoga studio than your typical group class.”
Breath-led and steady, gentle or more challenging, with a proper rest at the end. Three students at most.
Slow and quiet. Poses are held for a few minutes, supported by bolsters and blankets, so the body can let go a little at a time.
Yoga with a chair for support, seated or standing, for anyone who finds getting down to the floor difficult. Groups of four, pay as you feel, no set price.
I want yoga to be open to everyone, including people who’ve found it hard to get to a class before. If cost, mobility or confidence has been in the way, chair yoga is a good place to start. No experience needed, and no getting down on the floor.
“The class participants loved your Chair Yoga class today!”
I’m happy to put together classes for small groups of friends, family or colleagues. Email me with a little about who’s coming and what you’d like, and I’ll plan something to suit.
It’s cosy. A calm, women-only space to practise. A quiet, private room that’s yours for the hour. Mats, bolsters, blankets and blocks are all here waiting for you, so come as you are, in something comfy, and leave the rest to me.
Three students maximum, plus me, so it’s close to one-to-one attention. Total beginners very welcome.
Bring comfy clothes; everything else is provided.
I’ll send you the exact address when you book. It’s a 7-minute walk from Bearsden train station, with a bus stop a few hundred metres away. There are two broad steps up to the front door, and the bathroom is on the same floor as the studio.
Sunday afternoons · £12 a class, or £40 for a block of four. Yin and chair yoga on request. Chair yoga is pay as you feel. You can see what’s on and book online.
You can book your place online. If you’d like to say hello first, or you’ve got a question, email me with a little about where you’re at and what you’re hoping for, and we’ll take it from there.
Hope to see you on the mat soon x
