About The Teacher

Lorna Fraser

I completed Ashtanga Vinyasa training in 2019 and as a competitive CrossFit athlete, decided to further study yoga for athletes. I love to weave elements and movements from my training background into my classes to create a dynamic and balanced practice that emphasises movement, strength and breath.

I’m my classes I offer a mix of challenges and personalised cues, helping you explore how your body responds to the asanas and develop your own unique yoga practice.

Outside the yoga studio I work in digital marketing, I try to get outdoors as much as possible and you will most likely find me throwing weights around at the gym, or training for my next competition!

Joining Heather Yoga beginners class has been one of the best decisions I have made in a long time. Getting back onto my mat after a 25 year absence made me realise how much i had missed Yoga and the happy feelings, feel good endorphins it releases in me.

Freya took things step by step, explaining everything as we went along. As well as the classes, we had the course materials and recordings so we could practice during the week.

I’d recommend it to anyone who’d like to try yoga for the first time, or get back into it gently.

I think the course was great. It was exactly what I needed to give me a kick start getting back to yoga. I’ve had several years out and always struggled with the breath work side of things, so I found it a good way that I could focus on that whilst being more comfortable with the poses.

The classes were brilliant. Kylie was fantastic and very welcoming, as were the whole group.

I learned a lot and as a result have continued to practice, signing up to the 12 month membership.
