About The Teacher

Iain Ross

I found yoga in my early twenties while I was dealing with what I later found to be chronic stress and generalised anxiety. It quickly became my place of healing, so I spent the years that followed learning more and more.

Practicing with me you can expect a safe, open and inclusive space that will allow you to explore your practice in your way. I take a trauma aware approach and have a solid grounding in anatomy, so whatever variations you need I’m there to support. My ultimate aim is for you to feel at home in your practice, and leave the room feeling that bit lighter.

I’m qualified in and regularly teach Hatha Yoga and Chakra Kriya, Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative and Yoga Nidra.

Practice with Iain: Thursdays 10.45am Hatha & Meditation

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.
