Yvonne has spent almost 20 years teaching different styles of movement and dance to all levels and ages, from 3 to 83, alongside her day job working for a national performing arts organisation. During the pandemic in 2020/21 Yvonne added another string to her bow in completing her 200 hour vinyasa yoga teacher training with Alice Gray, after ten years of personal practice. Passionate about movement, Yvonne believes in the benefits of yoga for everyone - whether through a dynamic vinyasa flow or an introspective restorative slow-down.

Since qualifying, Yvonne has continued her CPD with additional trainings in Yin & Restorative Yoga and Advanced Anatomy. Her classes focus on cultivating balance in every sense of the word – physical, mental, and emotional – to guide you in finding connection on and off the mat. Expect creatively constructed flows that encourage you to find what feels best in the present moment.

Yoga Teacher

After coming into contact with her first yoga experience, Lorraine felt like her world had changed for the better. It was the beginning of a new journey, learning to respect the spiritual aspect of her well-being as well as the physical. Lorraine started to practice yoga 2-3 times a week noticing how it calmed her mind, gave focus and made her appreciate the smaller things, while strengthening her body and improving flexibility. 

Whilst travelling the world, a chance encounter with a fellow backpacker led Lorraine to 200 hour teacher training in Rishikesh, India in January 2015. Lorraine's time in India and the 200 hour YTT changed her in ways she could never have imagined. Lorraine describes the benefits of a daily asana and meditation practice as incredible, improving both her physical and mental wellbeing. This new outlook on life also gave her the confidence to leave a long career in corporate finance.

Lorraine has continued to further her studies in yoga and in April 2017 completed 50 Hours Yin Yoga teacher training with Sarah Lo, who has been endorsed by Sarah Powers.  In May 2019 Lorraine went back to India to complete her 300 hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training in Vinyasa Flow and Yin Yoga styles. The training focused on Elemental yoga according to the 5 Elements in both Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).  

Lorraine teaches many styles of yoga therefore her classes are accessible to everyone, regardless of age, ability or background.  Her Vinyasa classes are woven with theme and intention, to inspire and transform. They are creative and intelligently sequenced, blending together mindful movement that is strengthening, dynamic, and fun.  Yin Classes place a strong focus on meridian theory and mindfulness. As Lorraine is also a trained massage therapist, massage balls are often used in class to further aid myofascial release and stimulate acupressure points. Lorraine believes in a functional approach to yoga, therefore although alignment direction is provided in all classes; she encourages students to listen to their bodies and do what they feel is appropriate and safe. 

Yoga Teacher

Despite being surrounded by yoga from a young age, it took her many years to connect with the practice on a deeper level. Like many, she began practicing regularly when life outside became challenging. Sweating it out at hot yoga became the best kind of medicine.

She finished her initial teacher training in 2017 and has since taught classes in Edinburgh, London, Sri Lanka and Glasgow. In her flow classes, she incorporates an element of self exploration encouraging students to find freedom through movement.

Her time in Sri Lanka taught her to reflect and slow down, she fell in love with yin, restorative yoga and meditation whilst there. Her nature is to jump from one distraction to the next and she is learning to practice stillness. She aims to hold space for those who might need the same through classes, womxn’s workshops, cacao ceremonies and retreats.

Her invitation is for you to meet yourself exactly where you are, just as you are.

Yoga Teacher

I am a yoga teacher and theatre producer/programmer based in the Southside of Glasgow. I started practicing yoga as a teenager and dipped in and out of the practice over the years until I encountered Vinyasa flow and the ball really dropped. I was hooked by the journey, both mental and physical, that the classes would take me on. I completed my 200 hour training in Vinyasa flow in 2019 and since then have taught at a wide range of community spaces in the Southside - as well as on the rooftop garden of the tenement block I live in.

I'm committed to deconstructing barriers in my teaching, striving to be as accessible as possible to folks who might feel alienated or excluded from yoga spaces. And to decolonise my teaching and practice so I can properly honour and pay tribute to the South Asian heritage and history of this incredible practice. I am continuing to train and study with many wonderful teachers who are provoking, inspiring and hold me accountable to these goals.

I'm deeply indebted to them. Studio 70 has been a huge influence on me as a yoga practitioner and in my journey to training as a teacher so it's incredibly special for me to join the teaching team and to get to practice with the wonderful Studio 70 community!

Yoga Teacher

I took my first yoga class almost 11 years ago as I knew that it would help with some of my injuries and improve my flexibility but I did not expect it to have such a profound effect on my mind. The body-breath-mind connection that is maintained throughout the yoga practice gives me a deep calming feeling that is very hard to replicate and it is part of the reason why I fell in love with yoga.

My passion for martial arts lead me to yoga because I was looking for a way to help my body move and recover better for my next martial arts class. Practicing both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and yoga has made me a more confident, calm, motivated, determined person and helped me become who I am today, feeling much better in my body and mind. The yoga practice has also helped me to understand and recognize negative thought patterns I sometimes fall into and become more accepting of who I am as a person.

One of the most beneficial things I've learned from yoga and been able to apply day-to-day and in martial arts training is the ability to control my breath and stay calm while in some pretty stressful situations, both physically and mentally. When we manage to control our breath while under stress we can think and act more clearly and efficiently.
I believe that with a consistent yoga practice, we can all experience better performance, improved health, and a greater peace of mind.

Yoga Teacher

Tally has been a Southsider since 2018 and loves this community! She has been teaching yoga since 2020 after completing a 200 hour training in Vinyasa with Yoga Therapies in Newcastle. But this style didn't resonate completly, as sometimes she wanted a more active practice and sometimes more restorative. After learning about cycle awareness things clicked, and now her practice focuses on aligning yoga to the cycles of the year, the moon and the menstrual cycle.

She has since completed trainings specifically in women's yoga with Roots to Rise, Yin yoga at Kali Collective, and hands on assists at Merchant City Yoga. Her classes are fluid, playful and creative, and emphasise what movements feel like rather than what they look like. In her classes expect plenty of options so you can adapt the practice to what you need on the day, all important tea breaks, and to not take yourself too seriously.

Yoga Teacher

It took a long time for Laura to join a yoga class but once Rosina Bonsu introduced her to the Ashtanga Primary Series, she never looked back. With just one session she was hooked! A few years later, in 2015, she met Kia Naddermier and began to practice pranayama daily. The combination of physical posture work and the breath changed her life, decreasing stress, improving her sleep quality and her stamina. Apart from learning from Rosina (her teacher until February 2020) and Kia, Laura also studies with RoseAnn Maclean, and Sudhir Tiwari. She has over 15 years of experience as a mover, as she is a performance artist and an Athenaeum Research Fellow at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. She has been an art teacher for many years, including at The Glasgow School of Art and Transart Institute. These experiences have made her sensitive to the inner workings of the body, whether anatomical, energetic or emotional.

Laura completed her Classical Yoga School teacher training in 2017. She has studied yin yoga with Gem Maryam and adjustments with David Swenson. She is a qualified pranayama teacher in the Kaivalyadham lineage. She learns Indian scriptures and philosophy with James Boag and Sanskrit and Vedic chanting with Lucy Crisfield. Her classes work on a complete yoga, one that encompasses body, mind and breath, nourishing them all and awakening our spiritual sense. Although she teaches a variety of forms, her passions are a combination of assisted yoga practice (Mysore style, where teacher and student form an individual relation and the teachings are guided by the practitioner) and pranayama. They both have in common a feeling of delight, a body that invites the breath, a centred mind and gratitude for the practice itself. 

Yoga & Pilates Teacher

Robyn's fascination with movement began as a child - she attended ballet classes and loved learning about how malleable the human body is.

She attended her first yoga class as a teenager and found it... tremendously dull! She wanted to move fast and found staying in a posture for any length of time mentally challenging (never mind lying still in Savasana). Years later, she found yoga again, and something shifted. It became a special practice, and she craved time on the mat. She trained with Alice Gray and hopes to help students cultivate a balance of strength and flexibility (physically and mentally) on and off the mat. She likes creating down-to-earth, playful and explorative classes.

She began practising Pilates as a teenager and noticed a newfound sense of connection to her body. A few years later she discovered barre classes (a fusion of Pilates, dance, yoga and strength training) and quickly fell in love. She's been doing Pilates and barre consistently for years, and completed level 3 Pilates training in 2023, at Studio70. She has a modern take with elements of barre and yoga sprinkled in. She likes to challenge students whilst respecting the autonomy of everyone in the room - options to slow down and take modifications are always welcome.

As a long-time member, Robyn is delighted to be teaching at Studio70. At first, it was a strange transition going from student to teacher, but she quickly adapted and feels at ease in her new role.

Yoga Teacher

Originally from the East Coast of Canada, Jenn’s journey with yoga began unexpectedly in 2009 with an Ashtanga class that coincided with the winter solstice. This intense initiation, featuring 108 sun salutations and the teacher only speaking in Sanskrit, left her overwhelmed yet too embarrassed to leave. She was captivated by the discipline of those around her as she struggled and left the class determined to dive deeper into this ancient practice.

After three years of a committed Ashtanga practice, she found the rigorousness of the series no longer suited her body’s needs and that pain was commonplace after a class. Seeking a more adaptable and holistic approach to yoga, she started to dive into other styles of yoga including Iyengar, Anusara, Kundalini, Yin, Nidra, and Vinyasa. While exploring and learning from various teachers and styles was profoundly beneficial, it was in Vinyasa that she found a cohesive personal practice, in which all elements of yoga could come together in a classroom setting—resonating deeply with her mind, body, and soul.

Jenn completed her first 200-hour YTT certification in 2015 under her respected mentor, Amy Murphy. She has since completed an additional 600+ hours in training including certifications in Advanced YTT, Yin, Restorative, Nidra, Budokon, myofascial release, and advanced anatomy. Teaching and attending classes, workshops, trainings, and retreats worldwide have shaped her style and approach, prioritizing functional anatomy, and a deeper awareness of body, breath, and consciousness. Committed to growth, Jenn continually deepens her practice by learning, unlearning, and working toward decolonizing her teaching.

Jenn’s classes emphasize inclusivity for all levels and bodies. Her expertise in sequencing and cueing means that each class thoughtfully promotes proprioception within the body and mind through fluid movements and transitions. Expect to take it slow and be encouraged to do the work needed to tap into your intuitive self.

Fiona started practicing yoga and mindfulness on a regular basis over ten years ago to cope with anxiety and depression. Yoga and mindfulness helped me to cultivate a more positive, intuitive relationship with my body and set me on a path of self-discovery and healing. Yoga is so much more than a physical practice, reflecting on and evolving my relationship with myself and others is a lifetime commitment that helps build the resilience and strength to allow me to be more present for my family and in my community.

In my classes, the vibe is intentionally slow and chilled - an antidote to our busy, modern lives. You can expect lots of exploration and play, weaving mindfulness and self-compassion through the practice to encourage curiosity and kindness in a non-performative environment.
