Yoga for All

Yoga for All runs on Wednesday evenings at The Salisbury Centre, with the next session on Wednesday 26 July from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. It's a weekly class, so if you can't make this one, there's another the following Wednesday.

The session is built around slow, adaptable yoga asanas, pranayama breathing exercises, and simple self-enquiry meditation techniques from the Yoga in Daily Life® system. It's a contemplative class that works for beginners and experienced practitioners alike, and it's designed to accommodate most health conditions and some physical limitations, so you don't need to be particularly flexible to get something out of it.

Swami Ganga Mata runs the class on behalf of Yoga in Daily Life Scotland, a registered charity run by a small team of volunteer trustees. They've been in Edinburgh for 15 years and are now based in the Scottish Borders, working for the health and well-being of people, animals, and the environment. The class takes place in The Studio, which is inside The Salisbury Centre, a community hub open to anyone looking to develop their spiritual, psychological, and creative life through a programme of courses, workshops, lectures, meditations, and one-to-one therapeutic work.

On the practical side, a drop-in session is £15, or you can get a 6-class pass for £60, which also works for online classes. Payment is by cash or bank transfer. The Studio itself isn't wheelchair accessible at the moment, though the Centre's kitchen door and toilet are, and the Garden can be reached via a movable ramp through the Art Room Annex. The Salisbury Centre is at 2 Salisbury Road, Edinburgh, EH16 5AB.
