Edinburgh Summerhall Yoga

Calm relaxed studio where I can go as far as I want...or not. Love the chilled atmosphere and variety of classes to suit everyone.

Classes there are very helpful for releasing stress. Sam guides the sessions according to the attendants' levels, and she also leads different styles of yoga in a great way. She explains step by step all the asanas, and adapts the directions individually so that anyone may join the yoga. Timetables are also adapted to attendants' needs.

Teacher gives me great support. Helps me to get deep into the stretching while supporting the needs of my back. Always feel great after the class!!!

Have been going to Sam's Ashtanga yoga for a couple of months now and I find the whole experience thoroughly enjoyable and to a great extent spiritual.
I have been hoping to develop my inner sense of self and space through yoga and Sam's yoga class has provided me exactly this opportunity. I believe life experiences is how we all individually make of it and Sam's yoga class has become an essential channel in facilitating me to achieve that good life experience.

Summerhall Yoga is the best! Excellent yoga studio with tranquil ambience.
Good mix of class types and a broad mix of ages and sexes attend.
Sam, our teacher, is very supportive, gives clear instructions and has the gift of knowing just how far to push you so that you can improve your practice without danger of injury.
Everyone is made to feel welcome and there's a class to suit all ages whether you prefer an active session or a more laid-back and spiritual approach.
Try it soon! - whether you're a beginner or an experienced yogi.

Summerhall yoga is a haven. It's reasonably priced (esp 8 class pass and monthly membership) which makes it accessible. It is a supportive environment that gives you the space to develop your practice at a pace you are comfortable with:)

I went to a drop in class of "Candlelit yoga and meditation". The instructor did not introduce herself or ask me my name or my experience of yoga which I would have expected for my first visit to he practice. Instructions were vague and disjointed and I felt patronised when I asked about some of the specifics of the positions ie. flexing the feet. Disappointed.

Chill yoga

I have only recently started attending Hatha Yoga for beginners here but I absolutely love it. Sam is a great teacher and I feel that I am picking it up quickly thanks to that! I am hoping that in a few months I will be able to start Ashtanga Yoga or Pilate's also. At the moment I pay per class but I am tempted to become a member. Sam created an amazing atmosphere during the class with candles, lovely insense and some pretty art work on the walls. Although the classes are always full she always corrects me if I'm doing something wrong. I highly recommend!
