Yoga for Women

Women’s Yoga Classes in Edinburgh, suitable for beginners and experienced yogis alike. The yoga I teach isn’t about touching your toes, it’s about moving your body in a way that feels good and taking time out of your busy week for yourself.

You can find out more in the FAQs and if you have any further questions before booking please just let me know.

Yoga for body and mind. You'll leave feeling relaxed and yet energised; calm and strong. These classes are suitable for all levels, including complete beginners as options will be given to tailor your practice to you, your body and your energy.

You will learn breathing techniques to calm the body and mind, yoga postures to stretch and strengthen, and enjoy blissful guided relaxation at the end of the class.

“As a mum of two, Louise's class on a Tuesday night is my saviour. It's a calming and supportive class with a nice bunch of people. When I arrive the stresses of the week fall away and I leave feeling lighter, happier and generally more positive. Louise offers different levels of postures through the class so you can push yourself and get a good workout if you want to, but there's absolutely no pressure. She explains everything very well. I love the class and really feel the benefits of it”

Yoga FAQs

Are your classes suitable for beginners?

My classes are suitable for complete beginners and experienced yogis. I encourage you to take each class at your own pace, learning how to tune in to your body and do what is right for you. You don’t need to be flexible to do yoga - it’s not about touching your toes, it’s about moving your body in a way that feels good, breathing and relaxing.

What if I can't make a whole block of classes?

If you have holidays or other events already planned when you book your block of classes please make sure you include this information on your booking form. I will adjust your booking to accommodate these dates.

Do I need a mat and what should I wear?

I provide yoga mats but you may wish to bring your own to place over mine for both comfort and hygiene. Wear anything that is comfortable and you can more freely in (joggers, leggings, loose trousers, comfy tops). Bring a bottle of water too.

How do I get to St Anne’s? Is there parking?

The class is held in the Belgrave Room in St Anne's Church at the bottom of Kaimes Road. There is plenty of free on-street parking on Kaimes Road. Enter through the pedestrian gates on Kaimes Road (not the driveway), come in the glass doors, turn right, up a few stairs and the door to the room is on your right. The door will be open until the class start time. If you are running late please try to come in as quietly as you can to minimise disruption to your fellow attendees.

What is Savasana and why is it so important?

Savasana is the Sanskrit name for the relaxation we do at the end of each class (and sometimes on it’s own if we need a moment to chill!). During savasana, you will learn how to switch off the thoughts in your head, tune into your breath and relax your body - all great skills for birth, but also life in general. Each savasana will hopefully leave you feeling spaced out and relaxed in a way you didn’t know was possible. It can take a little practice before you fully let yourself surrender to relaxation so don’t worry if you feel distracted or fidgety at first, you’ll get the hang of it.

Do you do yoga class gift vouchers?

I do! Who wouldn't want the gift of yoga?? Vouchers can be purchased for specific classes (e.g an 8 week block of pregnancy yoga) or a set monetary value (e.g. £50). Please get in touch to discuss your requirements. Gift vouchers will be valid for 12 months from purchase and are non-refundable.

Cancellations and refunds

If a class is cancelled by your teacher for any reason I will make every effort to contact you via WhatsApp or email. Any classes cancelled will be added on to the end of your block booking or given as a credit for future classes. Please let me know on your booking form if there are any dates you cannot make within your block. I will amend your class dates in advance to accommodate this. Any unplanned missed classes (e.g. last minute cancellations) will be charged in full.
