come as you are.

A beautiful boutique yoga studio based in the heart of Edinburgh.

The Edinburgh Yoga Room continues to be a recognised centre for an assortment of yoga styles, with our main roots in the Ashtanga movement – first taught here by the founder, who was the only authorised teacher in Scotland at that time.

Welcome to The Edinburgh Yoga Room!

The Yoga Room is a place of refuge for students to land, let go, and train the body and mind to feel a sense of balance.

We are now taking bookings for the Autumn Term with Stacey, the studio founder. The new term will run for 12 weeks, starting the first week of October 2024.

With deep roots in the Ashtanga Yoga practice, The Yoga Room offers training to accommodate all levels of experience, from new to advanced practitioners, with Beginners Courses, Full-led and Half-led Primary, and Mysore classes.

As a trained yoga therapist, Stacey supports and fosters a deeply holistic approach. Focusing on safety and the adaptation of poses to make the practice more accessible; offering tools that empower individual yogi agency; and teaching ways to strengthen and tone the nervous system through meditation and breath work.

Yoga philosophy and mantra are part of the ebb and flow of Yoga Room teaching, offering a powerful new perspective on life, our humanity and that of others. A truly holistic practice can support a positive outlook that extends beyond the mat, as we work to build deeper and richer relationships with ourselves and the world around us.

Life can be challenging and The Yoga Room is here to help where we can, which means:

All talk-through classes and the Wednesday Mysore class with Stacey can be attended both face-to-face and on Zoom, using the same course subscription.
If you have experience with Ashtanga practice and are unable to make the start of the term, you are welcome to join at a later point and pay the remaining weeks of the term. (To learn more about how and why we run the Ashtanga classes as we do visit the about page).

The Yoga Room also offers a wide range of classes and workshops. As well as private yoga and yoga therapy sessions with Stacey, carefully tailored to meet your unique needs.

Before you go, please remember that making time for yourself and your practice is beneficial for your overall health and well-being. Together, may we heal ourselves and the world.

See you on the mat or online.

Love and Gratitude,

Stacey

Classes

At The Yoga Room, we offer a wide range of classes, from beginner to advanced, Ashtanga Yoga, and Mysore as well as mat pilates classes.

Introduction to Ashtanga. This course covers the fundamentals of a yoga practice. Much of the initial focus will be on breath work, alignment, learning to coordinate movement with the breath, and the form of the sequence. We also look at relaxation and meditation as a means to relaxing the mind and body. This course is open to complete novices as well as those looking to return to practice. It is aimed at those with a good basic level of fitness.
This course will run for 12 weeks.
Further exploration of the Ashtanga practice for students whom have completed the beginners course. This course will gradually take you through half of the Ashtanga primary series, one pose at a time. We also start to explore the finishing sequence more thoroughly, looking at headstand and backbends in greater detail.
A led class taking participants through the whole of the primary series. This class starts where the level one course leaves off. It is a full talk through class, done together at a steady, rhythmical pace. Participants need to have a good knowledge of the Ashtanga sequence to be able to do this course.
This is the traditional method and the manner in which this practice is communicated in Mysore, South India. The Practitioner does his or her own practice, starting with the primary series with guidance and instructions as needed. Individual tuition and adjustments are tailored to the needs of the student providing a supportive environment allowing the student to work at their own pace.
At the Yoga Room, we offer a range of pilates classes throughout the week as well as hatha and vinyasa yoga classes and workshops.

Our Method

HERE ARE OUR FIVE STRONG CONVICTIONS WHEN TEACHING THIS BEAUTIFUL PRACTICE AT THE YOGA ROOM.

1. Block of classes

The Yoga Room offers blocks of classes, to encourage you to attend class regularly. This commitment is essential when practicing yoga, to build strength and understanding of the practice. ‘Drop-in’ classes do not provide the same consistency, limiting one’s progress and putting one more at risk of injury. Regular attendance also provides an opportunity for me to get to know you and tailor the practice to meet your specific needs.

The brilliant humour and sense of fun and adventure stacey brings to the classes meant we were brave enough to push our bodies and try new things in a safe and trusting environment.

According to geometry, the pentagon is the last of the solid forms for one simple reason: it is the last form you can make out of the other shapes that fits together perfectly. This helps supports the ethos of “Come as you are” – all shapes, sizes, ages and gender are supported and welcome. The number 5 has always been regarded as mystical and magical, yet essentially ‘human’. We have five fingers and toes and commonly note five senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste.
