I commenced my Bikram journey in Edinburgh; (thank you Edina St!). I fell in love with the Bikram practice. The community was amazing and the practice pulled me together, allowing me to be strong in mind, body and soul! A wonderful alchemy occurred, whilst I was working in a stressful corporate world, & whilst also studying for a Law Degree ( i don't do things by halves) . I realised, as i worked through the practice and my life, i wanted to change direction. I attended the Teacher Training in Mexico in 2017, set up a yoga retreat in the highlands and I am now so happy to bring Bikram Yoga 90 mins back to Leith, where I was born and bred. My philosophy, "Turn up, just do it, without fear, and complete belief in yourself"!

Brian is not only the top ranking attendee at our new studio. He is also a qualified teacher of Wu Dang Tai Chi. Practising since 1979 at the Boys Brigade Club in Leith with Ian Cameron.
Brians weekly Wu Dang Tai Chi Classes start on Sunday 4th January.
With Tai Chi based on the same principles of movement, balance and coordination of the entire body, with the principles of no weaknesses in postures where there may be deficiencies or protrusions in any stance or movement. This, for Brian is the link between Tai Chi practice and yoga practice. Brian's teaching will be carried out with reference to his Sifu Ian Cameron to ensure this practice is consistent with tradition.
You will receive teaching in the Square Form, Round Form, Spear Form, Sabre form and Sword Form.
