Flow, Hatha, Yin, Power Yoga, Wall Yoga, Mindfulness coaching, meditation. Certified Yoga and Mindfulness teacher and coach. Classes available in Edinburgh.
Thank you to all who contacted me about classes kicking off again. These will be a combination of movement styles, yoga, meditation and potentially a separate mindfulness course.
I've pulled together this questionnaire which I'd be so grateful if you could complete for me if interested, so I can work out how popular certain options are.
Would you also be kind enough to pass this onto anyone who you think maybe interested in attending these classes.
Thanks kindly
Keira ❤😃😇

My hero Ekhart Tolle. He simply comes back time and time again to the simple message of being present, now.
Don't use the analysing mind. Simply be. The rest will unfold.

Send this onto someone who'd love to hear the sound of the rain in a moment of reflection. This is from my recent trip to Sri Lanka. Posted from Instagram.

I’ve been on my own journey…
For a while, that’s meant being absent from yoga.
My osteoarthritis — now in my left hip — has brought some big changes and restrictions to my practice. For a time, I thought that meant I should stop teaching. I couldn’t demonstrate what I once could, and I told myself I’d return after my second hip operation… which could still be a couple of years away.
But my recent spiritual trip to Sri Lanka — a bridge between leaving corporate life, building my own business, and discovering how to truly own a new space for myself — reminded me of something important. With the support of our amazing retreat yoga teacher, Jules, I realised it’s not what you can demonstrate that matters, but how you guide and lead.
Ten years this year of teaching yoga is something to celebrate. 🙏❣️Even if I move differently now, I can still show up, guide, and hold space to the best of my ability.
I feel called to reconnect with the spiritual side of yoga — more meditation, mindfulness, slow, grounding movements blended with Qigong and tapping techniques that nourish, detoxify, and heal.
Who’s in? 🌿
I now have the time and flexibility to hold mindfulness and yoga sessions again. If you’re open to exploring an adapted practice — going with the flow, experimenting together, and finding peace — let’s reconnect, have fun, and breathe deeply once more. ❤️☮️
I'll email those on my mailing list too - but please DM if interested.
Keira 😊 xx

Sorry for the radio silence...I have been busy over the last few months however! Getting trained up on more skills ;-)
Who is interested in a Yoga Class which incorporates mindfulness and finishes with wine tasting? Yup WINE!
I'm finishing off a website with my other business Being Wineful. I see so many parallels to tasting wine, being in the moment, feeling joy, and that of mindful techniques. I'm creating a course all about mindfulness and wine.
But it got me thinking, how can I build this into my yoga business too?
I am not a fan of drinking and doing yoga, so my session will keep the yoga practice separate, and we'll finish off the class with mindfulness and wine tasting. It's like a bit of everything - all my favourite things!
The aims of all these sessions are the same - to leave feeling joyful, de-stressed, and with some tools and techniques to help you in everyday life when stressful moments or situations arise. The wine tasting component is because I've found huge parallels to being in the moment and tasting wine. I think it would be a fun end to our sessions to learn how to really taste wine for the fulliest enjoyment.
I'm currently studying for my WSET Diploma in Wine, and along with my other qualifications I'm looking to mash them together!
IF you are intrigued, interested in any of the above, please let me know! 1, 2, or BOTH!
1. Being Wineful - Mindfulness with Wine
2. Yoga, Mindfulness and Wine Tasting
Tomorrow's yoga workshop will be the last one until after the school holidays. Likely to be back in Sept. I've had a couple of cancellations so we are a small group tomorrow, and there's still space. 🌞🙏
I'm also keen to understand what type of classes you're looking for, including timings going forward, so when I'm back in August/ September I can be offering what you're looking for! 😄 Research form below. Be grateful for feedback from those who've attended.
We've all seen Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. Brought up on this 1989 classic, as well as rewatching most years, this scene where Indiana takes the leap of faith to get the cup of Christ is so poignant to me.
It's film entertainment at its best, but it's also got a powerful message about trusting your instincts and having faith. Not necessarily the religious type, but faith in your own pathway and what feels good for you.
You might be feeling a bit stuck where you are today, but, trust in your instincts, have faith and believe what you're creating for yourself is coming down the line.
Here's the thing about manifestations. They are thoughts and beliefs we have today which are in the post for the future.
And what happens when we don't see the fruits of that labour straight away? We panic. We think it's not working. But just take a moment to consider this - all your past thoughts, feelings, blockages and emotions need somewhere to play out, and that somewhere will be a future state. So that might be today's reality.
To those who are with me on my wacky wavelength. Keep the faith. Your manifestation is in the post! 🙏☺️
(Our mindfulness practice really helps us consider these things further. Yoga teaches us patience and calm consideration. These combined provide us with the tools needed to have faith in ourselves.)

I had the most wonderful time at Jamie Flippard studio yesterday running a two hour workshop to a room full of wonderful women - who were incredibly friendly and inviting! Thank you 😊🙏
It was a fairly strong practice, but with the ease of some meditation, and wall yin too. Given the warm spring weather - it almost turned into hot yoga 🥵 🔥 but we got some cool air circulating! And the warm temps got us going!
We started off with a seated body scan, followed by QiGong, moving onto a Pilates- yoga fusion set. Then some classic sun salutations, followed by vinyasa and wall yoga. We absolutely packed it in. And all the while having a good hoot and a right laugh. I love up his who don't take themselves too seriously - that's essentially my moto!
Here's some pics captured from the session in the beautiful space near Falkirk. Thanks all - I hope to be back again! ❤️

Classes have evolved into an online venture with 4 to 5 classes each week. Regular classes on Monday and Tuesday evenings, with a Wednesday morning wake up class. Then one or two at the weekend to compliment the weekday classes.
Having practiced yoga for 17 years, it wasn’t until I met my retired yoga teacher over 12 years ago that I really found my love for yoga. Dorothy Steedman encouraged me into teaching, and I’ve been teaching yoga now for 5 years. Although a part time venture, it’s one I thoroughly love and cherish. It gives me a great balance to my day job as a Marketing Director, and the opportunity to keep fit, calm my mind, and keep grounded.
I started out in the discipline of Iyengar yoga in my early twenties, and this desire to ensure we practice safely and take homage to correct form and technique, comes from this style. Knowing that all bodies and form to a certain extent are different, there are still ways of ensuring effective and safe practice takes place. I then found a certain level of addiction in Ashtanga Yoga, to the point I definitely spent too much time in a very “yang” state perfecting and end gaming poses, as a result losing my love of it through injury. Injuring my lower back and going through some personal life changes around 4 years ago, I found peace in starting to practice more mindfully, a softer on my body vinyasa and yin style practices.
I now have a much healthier approach to yoga and my style is “Yin Yang” with the need to remind myself of the balance required in our practice, and really to everything we do in life. I like to run challenging sessions, but balance these with longer holds, and the ability to slow the mind through meditation and relaxation too. It’s been quite a journey over 17 years to get to the place of finding really strength from all yoga disciplines.
I qualified as a yoga teacher 5 years ago in Hatha Raja Yoga (200 RYT hours) and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga (50 RYT hours).
I look forward to welcoming you to class, snd hope you’ll be able to join online soon!
