I was visiting Edinburgh for a few days and after meeting the lovely Hazel Watson by chance, I had no doubt that I wanted to take part in her yoga class. Such a well-led, balanced class, full of authentic tools that she has embedded into her teachings, it made a mark on my stay. I highly recommend experiencing a class on your own! No spoiler alerts ;) Thank you Hazel for everything!!

Superb class! So engaging. Clear delivery. Continuously changing routine. Questioning tradition without disrespecting it in order to embrace modern physiological knowledge. Love it!! Amy is just the best!! Thank you so much. We are very lucky to have her teach us online.

I attended my first Ashtanga practice today. I came in quite nervous that it would be intimidating, but Emma immediately put me at ease. I felt so supported and encouraged, and it was super accessible! Will definitely be back ❤️

I recently completed the beginners Ashtanga yoga course with Kirsten and couldn’t recommend it more. The pace of the course was spot on, Kirsten created a really supportive environment where each week built naturally on the last. I always felt comfortable asking questions and taking my time to learn. Thanks to this solid introduction, I felt confident enough to join the Mysore-style sessions. Two months in, I’m now attending three times a week and loving the routine of developing my own practice at my own pace. Mysore practice is both grounding and challenging. I’ve learned it’s not just about getting the posture ‘right,’ but about being present and in tune with my body and breath. The instructors – Kirsten, Emma, and Vanessa – have all been incredibly supportive, observant, and welcoming. Each brings a slightly different energy, which has really helped me grow in different ways. If you’re curious about Ashtanga but unsure where to start, I highly recommend the beginners course. For me, Ashtanga Yoga Edinburgh is calm, friendly, and inclusive.
