we’ve been having some fun with crow, side crow, even some accidental and some intentional head stands, and more, at our early bird classes this month with a focus on letting down our barriers and letting go of our egos and just enjoying the process!

I’d love to see you in the studio for our last week of Your Yoga studio classes where we can have some more adventures like those - week commencing the 29th of August!

any questions, drop me a message, and if you’d like to book then check out the ‘book now’ button or the link in my bio 🤍

big love,

on the lead up to studio classes dropping, I have opened up current packages so as you can use them to book beach classes too. new packages are no longer available to purchase!

I’m excited to hopefully get some good weather for a beach practice on Friday… until then, we have our early bird Thursday vinyasa if you fancy it 🥰 we’re going to try our hand at side crow!!

hey guuuuys!

I’ve been a bit of a stranger on here… lots has been going on: it was my bday 🥳 I got a new job 🍾 and unfortunately, in amongst the excitement of those things, Lexi was really unwell 🥺 [shes on the mend and we’re hopeful she’ll get back to full health soon]… so it’s been a rollercoaster of a few weeks!!

but we’re back to classes now, and im so happy to be seeing all of you on the mat 🤍

as mentioned, I have an exciting new job that starts in September. it’s an amazing opportunity but it does mean that I’m having to completely reconfigure my current schedule and with that, there will be some changes to Your Yoga too

I’m hopeful that once I’ve settled back into the 40-hour-a-week lifestyle, I’ll be able to get back in to more teaching, but I need to be realistic about what I can manage for the first few months of this new adventure ✨

and so, it makes me sad to say, that August will be the last month of regular weekly studio classes. I’ve had the best time practicing indoors with you over winter and into spring and summer this year, it’s been an absolute honour, and I’m excited for the next three weeks together…

as of September, I’ll be taking on more of a seasonal role as a yoga teacher. in the summer months, there’ll be outdoor classes, and in the winter, I’m hoping to run a monthly slow flow & restore.

there will be a beach class at least once a week for the month of September which everyone is of course welcome to come along to, as always - you can book via the book now button or the link in bio 🌊

keep your eyes peeled for further updates or drop me a message with any questions..

much love ♥️

what are you feeling grateful for today?

here are some of my favourite moments off the mat over the past few months that I’m feeling grateful for today: difficult to only pick ten…

1. climbing the Scott’s View hill for sunrise
2. my little brother graduating in his Macpherson tartan kilt
3. ‘stay out of the long grass’ 🦖
4. family moments in Laurencekirk
5. swimming with the doggos in Redpath
6. a day in Brussels
7. donkeys - no more to be said
8. camping on the west coast
9. visiting my beautiful friend in beautiful Paris
10. conjuring up ideas with the lovely at Yellow Craig’s

✨ feeling grateful ✨

big love,

I hope you're feeling more cleansed after our month focusing on the first Niyama, Saucha (purity).

In July, we take our focus to the second Niyama, Santosha, which translates to contentment and encourages us to accept and appreciate what we have and what we are, right now. Not an easy task, and a game of patience, but introducing a combination of gratitude and mindfulness to our practice both on and off the mat can help us on that journey.

Throughout July we will bring our focus to being grateful for what we have at any given moment and remove any expectation for something more or 'better'. To do that, we are going to bring our focus to our chakras - moving our focus inwards will begin our journey to contentment by stripping it back to recognising how incredible the basics, our body, our homes, are.

Looking forward to exploring this Niyama with you!

✨mid-week check in✨

have you taken time this week to take stock of your energy levels, your feelings, your breath? it can be too easy to be swept up in the details and find yourself getting a bit lost, quite often for me that happens when I lose touch with my personal practice

quite often it can be the things that you know are best for you that can be the hardest to find the motivation for

a few people have said to me recently that they find it helps them to have their mat rolled out as a constant invitation to find moments of movement or stillness, which can be a great short- (or long- if you have the space) term solution to making a daily habit of yoga. even if it’s just ten minutes each day, the benefits are incredible

for that reason I’m going to run some daily Instagram lives starting on Sunday (3rd July) and invite you to join me in taking a few moments together every day for 5 days to try to collectively kickstart the daily habit! more info will come soon ♥️

drop me a message with any questions 🙏🏼

Lots of love,
Em

25/06/2022

it’s been one hell of a busy month this June and there have been some gaps in classes, so we’re sticking with our Saucha theme for an extra week before moving on to the next Niyama!

this coming week we’ll be focusing on cleansing and protecting our root chakra in order to ground us amidst all the lovely but sometimes overwhelming busy-ness that comes with the sunny weather 🌞

it’s a full time table this week starting tomorrow evening with vinyasa & yin, and id love to see you in studio, online, or outdoors!

big love,
Em X
