A really lovely yoga class this week and great to welcome a few newcomers. It’s always nice meeting new students and helping people begin their yoga journey.

This week we explored how small movements of the pelvis can support the lower back, strengthen the core, and improve spinal mobility. It’s a subtle thing but can make a big difference once you feel how it works in the body.

Next week is the final class before we take a short break for Easter 🐣

I’m planning an energising, flowy practice with some gentle twists to finish the block.

If anyone locally has been thinking about trying yoga, there’s still time to join us.

✨Saturday mornings 9:30 – Beginner vinyasa

📍Jonesborough 🇮🇪

Small friendly classes and beginners always welcome. Spare mats available. DM to reserve a spot

“I’m too stiff for yoga”

I hear this all the time… and honestly, that’s exactly why my yoga classes can help.

You don’t need to touch your toes in my classes. I’ll often say bend your knees or stay in tabletop instead of going into Downward Dog, just two very accessible modifications I offer my students.

The focus is simple: move your body, build strength, and improve mobility.

Over time your flexibility might improve… or it might not, and that’s okay. When people stop worrying about how they should move and just start moving, they usually enjoy yoga a lot more.

Come and try a class in Jonesborough:

🧘‍♀️ Tuesday | 10:00 – Mobility Focus
🧘‍♀️ Saturday | 9:30 – Beginner Friendly

Your body doesn’t need to be flexible to start. You just need to start.

Rambling my way through St. Brigid’s Day, woke up not knowing what to do with the kids but remembered I’m spoiled for hiking trails in this part of 🇮🇪

Sure, I bribe them with sweet snacks but they are really starting to enjoy a ramble and that helps to keep me sane.

#ireland #ravensdaleforest #walkingtrailsireland #hikemoreworryless

Removing downward facing dog is vital for a mobility focused class.

I’ve increased the speed to show the whole flow, the class is taught at a much slower pace.

The Calm of Village Life 🌿

📍Dromintee (Drumintee)

A hidden gem in County Armagh, Northern Ireland (my photos don’t do it justice)

The name comes from the Irish Droim an Tí, meaning “ridge of the house”

This peaceful little village sits in the heart of the Ring of Gullion, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surrounded by rolling hills, open skies and rich heritage

Nature like this reminds me to slow down, take notice, roll out my yoga mat and breathe a little deeper

A small place with big charm ✨💛✨

#YellowMatYoga #ireland #GroundedInNature
#RingOfGullion #CountyArmagh

Calm. Connection. Clarity.

Today reminded me why yoga retreats are so special.

Stepping away from the weekend routine, slowing down, and giving myself space to really be in my practice.

I connected more deeply with my yoga, met lovely new people, and enjoyed the most scrumptious, nourishing food and all in a calm, beautiful setting.

✨💛✨

Thanks for hosting such a lovely gathering @dundalk_yoga_collective @carlingfordyoga

✨Nollaig na mBan ✨| Women’s Christmas | 6 January

A traditional Irish day honouring women with rest.

After weeks of giving, this is a pause.

In yoga, rest is practice. Stillness matters.

Today, choose: soft movement, deep breath, time for you

Rest isn’t indulgent. It’s essential.

Nollaig na mBan shona daoibh 💛

#yellowmatyoga #irishtraditions #yogajournal #irishlanguage

Yoga teaches us that being present with someone is powerful. Not fixing. Not rushing.

Just stopping to take notice, being present. With breath, with kindness, with care.

The festive season can feel heavy. Grief, loneliness, exhaustion or overwhelm may sit quietly beneath the surface.

A gentle conversation, held with the same steadiness we practise on the mat, can help someone feel less alone.

• Listening without judgement
• Sharing a moment of calm
• Sitting together, being together

This is ahimsa in action, living with compassion off the mat.

If someone you love is struggling, encourage them to reach out.

• Shout — Text SHOUT to 85258 (UK)
• Pieta House — 1800 247 247

This Christmas, practise yoga beyond the mat with
connection, compassion, and conscious presence.

💪Weightlifting Magic 💪

So much going on at the moment with moving and house renovations that my #yoga practice has definitely taken a back seat.

The upside? I now live closer to my sister and brother-in-law, who just happen to be bodybuilders.

I turned 40 this year, and all the science says it’s time to start lifting weights, so I’ve been taking full advantage of my family connections and began strength training about a month ago with @rocky_lawlor

It’s still early days, and aside from feeling heavier, I wasn’t sure what effect it was having… until today when I practised yoga at home and realised I felt so much stronger and more flexible in the Padangusthasana asanas!

I used to really struggle with these during my #Ashtanga training, so this little breakthrough feels amazing and a sign the weightlifting magic is working.

Credit also to @oliviaemilykate as her dreamy online flow class helped me uncover the difference 💛

Because it’s Edinburgh summer, jeans are still a necessity! 🙃

School’s out, days are busy, and I’m grabbing little moments to move and breathe when I can.

Here are 5 standing yoga stretches you can do in jeans:

1. Cactus Arms: Open your chest, link movement with breath.

2. One-Legged Tadasana: Strengthen your core, improve balance and leg strength.

3. One-Legged Twist: Enhance spinal mobility and core strength.

4. Forward Fold with Halfway Lift: Stretch the back, hips, and spine, while calming your mind.

5. Interlace Hands Behind Back Forward Fold: Relax and lengthen.

Enjoy ✨💛✨

🚨 Boring Voice Incoming 🚨

Approaching my one-year anniversary of teaching, and I feel I’ve made significant progress. Coming from no prior experience in body mechanics or movement, learning to guide others has been an humbling journey. I’ve refined my own practice, learned intelligent sequencing, and practicing pronunciation of Sanskrit asanas. I’ve enjoyed adding music to my sequences, abandoned my class notes, and built a loyal group of students who trust me to lead their practice.

Yet, there’s still much more to conquer and gain confidence in — hence the chosen title. Another area I’m working on is my voice and its projection. Who would have thought at 40 I’d still hesitate to let my voice carry? Certainly not around my kids, family, and friends. So, what’s the barrier? Impostor syndrome? Lack of confidence? Shyness? Introversion? Intimidation? It’s something I’m still unpacking!

Each class feels like a step forward, and I’m committed to practicing and nurturing this little voice box gift. I want it to so badly match the energy of my sequences. I adore where yoga meets me and I’m here for it, till death do us part.

I've got some big changes this summer and have just one class left at #orchardbraehouse but if your don't mind I'll keep posting and updating on my progress and how my hobby and career swerve are playing out.

Ready to challenge your balance and open your heart? This week’s uplifting flow, builds strength, stability, and flexibility to prepare the body for Dancer’s Pose (Natarajasana).

Expect plenty of hip openers, shoulder stretches, and standing balance work as we gradually work our way toward this beautiful heart-opening posture.

Come try it out at @tribeyoga • Leith Walk • Friday • 2pm

#yellowmatyoga #yogajourney #edinburgh #edinburghyoga #vinyasa

I’m back! Easter was all about wholesome family time, now it’s back to the mat. Wobble, stretch, easy does it… with a side of twisted lunges, spicy chaturangas, wild things and pigeon. Sequencing some goodness for both body and mind.

✨💛✨

#yellowmatyoga #edinburghyoga #yogajourney #yogajournal #edinburgh #ytt200 #vinyasa #yogalife

This heart-opening Vinyasa Flow is designed to prepare the body for Camel Pose (Ustrasana) by focusing on chest and hip opening, arm rotation, and back-body strength.

Expect:
✔️ Chest and hip opening to deepen backbends
✔️ External arm rotation for shoulder mobility
✔️ Core and leg strength to support Ustrasana

This class is perfect for those looking to deepen their backbends while cultivating a sense of strength, openness, and emotional steadiness.

Enjoy!

Building Strength & Mobility for Side Plank (Vasisthasana)

My Vinyasa Flow this week focuses on opening the hamstrings, adductors, and outer hips—creating both strength and mobility for Side Plank (Vasisthasana).

Flowing through Downward Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana), hopping forward into Chair Pose (Utkatasana) with balance work—lifting the heels, shifting weight into the toes, and exploring a single-leg variation.

From there:

• High Lunge (Alanasana) → transitioning through Easy Twist (Parivrtta Anjaneyasana) with dynamic arm circles.

• Heel-toe the front foot wide for Lizard Pose (Utthan Pristhasana) → deepening into Twisted Lizard for hip mobility.

• To exit, power up: tuck the back toes, engage the core & glutes, and fire the leg back to Side Plank (Vasisthasana)! Drop the knee for support or challenge yourself by lifting the top leg!

Give it a try and enjoy ✨💛✨

It’s not about the perfect handstand. It’s about the journey of trying, believing, showing up for myself!

Handstand (Adho Mukha Vrksasana) is a practice in perseverance.

It’s not just about strength—it’s about showing up, again and again, even when progress feels slow.

Every time I practice, I build something: resilience, patience, trust in myself. I remind myself that falling is part of learning. That shaking arms and wobbly attempts are just steps on the path.

I don’t need to rush. I’ll focus on the foundations—strengthening my core, stabilising my wrists, using my breath to stay steady. I’ll celebrate the small wins, like a moment of stillness or a little more control on the way down.

✨💛✨

One Yoga Sutra each month to deepen my practice on and off the mat.

Each month, I focus on a single Yoga Sutra—studying it, reflecting on it, and weaving its wisdom into my classes. This simple practice keeps me disciplined, grounded, and connected to yoga beyond just movement.

By immersing in one teaching at a time, I’ve found more clarity in my personal practice and a deeper understanding. Maybe it will spark something for you also?

Yoga at your own pace and in your own space? I'm building up a library of recorded yoga classes. Visit my bio for more details.

Anuttamah Sukha (Supreme Happiness). True joy comes not from external achievements but from a heart that is open, grateful, and at peace with itself.

#yellowmatyoga #AnuttamahSukha #yogasutras #yogastudentforlife #edinburghyoga #yogajourney

True joy doesn’t come from external achievements—it comes from an open, grateful heart at peace with itself. This month, I’m embracing Open Hearts in my practice.

I’ll be exploring Yoga Sutra 2.42:

“Santosha anuttamah sukha labhah.”

“From contentment (santosha), the highest happiness is attained.”

In class, expect heart-opening asanas that expand the chest, melt shoulder tension, and create space for breath and energy to flow.

✨💛✨

Where will my yoga journey take me in 2025?

My class theme this month is Fresh Beginnings. How we use our energy, how we clear the mind and how to bring clarity to the year ahead. This month I’ll be adding lots of grounding postures to my classes. Helping you feel centred, stable, resilient and balanced.

The Yoga Sutra I’ll be considering is 1.33:

“Cultivating friendliness, compassion, happiness and equanimity to those who are happy, unhappy, virtuous or non virtuous will clear the mind”

Taking a moment to pause during the Christmas chaos - these days, my “me time” means unrolling my yoga mat. If you’ve got one gathering dust, I highly recommend giving it 5 minutes. Breathe, stretch, and reconnect—you won’t regret it.

2024 has been a year of refocusing, finding balance, and channeling my energy into what truly matters. Life’s ups and downs are inevitable, but I’ve found moments to reset, reflect, and feel grateful for the journey.

Wishing you peace, love, and happiness this Christmas 🎄

This month, I’ve been lucky enough to work with an incredible yoga mentor who’s helped me build the confidence to ditch my journal during classes—huge step!

One major challenge I’m tackling right now is perfecting my teaching language. I say “and then” a lot!

So, in an effort to make my instructions more clear and direct, I’m recording my cues and mini flows. Can’t wait for my audio to catch up with my movement 😵‍💫

Om Shanti Shanti ShantI

This week has been all about finding balance – making time for my own practice amidst the busyness of classes and family life. Even just 15 minutes on the mat can make such a difference!

It’s been a week of growth, with each class helping to build my confidence as a teacher. Feeling so grateful for the vibrant energy in my classes and the new faces joining me – welcoming newcomers always feels so special 💛

Hope you had a great week and even better weekend ahead.

It includes a cycle, school drop off, coffee and obviously yoga.

Today was all about setting up and testing my equipment for my upcoming online yoga class.

I had the opportunity to visit Kagyu Samye Ling, a Tibetan Buddhist monastery nestled in the serene landscapes of Eskdalemuir, Scotland.

The visit, though brief, was a remarkable experience, offering a glimpse into the profound tranquility and rich cultural heritage preserved at this spiritual haven.

The striking traditional Tibetan architecture and the peaceful ambiance of the monastery left a lasting impression, highlighting the unique blend of cultural preservation and spiritual practice that defines this special place.

Learning difficulties and the benefits of yoga
👇

✨ Improved Focus and Attention: Yoga practices, such as breathing exercises and mindful movement, can enhance concentration and attention span, which are often areas of challenge for people with learning difficulties.

✨ Reduced Stress and Anxiety: Yoga has been found to lower stress levels and reduce anxiety, which are common among individuals with learning disabilities. Techniques like deep breathing and relaxation exercises help in managing emotions and promoting a sense of calm.

✨ Enhanced Physical Coordination: Yoga postures (asanas) promote strength, flexibility, and coordination. For individuals with motor coordination challenges, regular practice can improve these skills, leading to better physical confidence and capabilities.

✨ Social and Emotional Development: Participating in yoga classes can provide opportunities for social interaction and the development of emotional regulation skills. Group sessions often incorporate activities that encourage empathy, cooperation, and self-expression.

✨ Self-Regulation and Behaviour Management: Yoga encourages self-awareness and self-regulation through mindfulness practices. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with learning difficulties who struggle with impulsivity or behavioral issues.

✨ Positive Effects on Overall Well-being: Studies have shown that yoga can contribute to overall well-being by improving sleep patterns, boosting mood, and promoting a sense of empowerment and self-esteem.

✨💛✨

Oh my life, there are times when yoga will take a back seat, and that’s certainly true of this week. The last week in June 2024 has been a week of changes.

@n1cklawrence, you had a spectacular send-off days before you would have celebrated your birthday. I’m not sure you ever realised the impact you made on people. Love you, brother.

@littyrocks, you have blown me away this week. Big respect! You pulled off that eulogy with total composure and spoke so wonderfully from the heart. I’m so proud to call you a friend. We’ve come so far from the days you used to bin me at school or support me through massive whiteys! Happy birthday, top dog!

In the middle of sadness, my own son turned five. He’s growing up so fast and has so much love to give. You little cutie, you get away with such cheeky behavior. I hope you forever know how much I love being your mummy.

Finally, the school year here in #Scotland has ended. As my eldest graduates from lower primary, my youngest will join in August. You have the world at your feet, kids, and I hope Daddy and I can help you navigate life’s ups and downs. You both make me beyond happy, and squeezing you both over the last few tragic weeks has brought an even greater appreciation for life. Thank you for being so uniquely individual. (However, you could listen a bit more—that would be helpful for my nervous system)

So, a week where yoga practice and teaching has taken a back seat to #life. Life is all about change—good, bad, tragic, and happy. Endings and new beginnings.

Finding peace in this life is hard, but I’m aiming to live a life of love and compassion.

Oh, and #yoga!

Oṃ śānti śānti śānti ✨💛✨

Here’s why I love yoga

1. Flexibility Boost: Stretch out stiffness.

5. Mental Clarity: Focus and find your zen.

Thank you to all who attended tonight's yoga; #summersessions3 was blissful; I met some new yogi’s, and the sun showed off her gorgeous yellowish glow. Perfect, just perfect.

We’ve now raised £95 for @savechildrenuk, and I'm delighted to have received such support for this initiative. Thanks to everyone attending and to people spreading the word.

Next session is Sunday at 9am. Hope to see you there 🙏

Unlock the upside of yoga with supported headstands!

Boost circulation, strength, and focus while relieving stress. Enhance balance, digestion, and confidence.

It’s important to approach headstands with caution, especially for beginners. Practising under the guidance of a qualified instructor (like me!) and using proper alignment and support (such as a wall or yoga props) can help minimise the risk of injury and maximise the benefits of this pose.

In memory @n1cklawrence

Thinking back to our teens and twenties, I remember how much fun you brought into my life. You were always there, making me laugh with your unique sense of humour and adding a quirky touch to our adventures.

The memories bring a bittersweet smile to my face. Like the prank proposal in Hyde Park, where you took to one knee in front of hundreds of people!! We fooled so many unsuspecting onlookers with the joke, and we both felt so guilty for it as they congratulated us throughout the night (cringe)!

But that’s how I know you were one of the good ones. You had love in your heart for everyone. Your presence was a light in my life, one I now realise I often took for granted.

My heart breaks as I write this. I miss your light, your laughter, and your voice. You were one of the good ones, Nick and the world feels a little darker without you.

I wish I had the chance to tell you how much you meant to me. The pain of your absence is a lesson for me to cherish the people we care about and never take them for granted.

I miss you so much, Nick. The world isn’t the same.

Thank you to the yogis that’s attended the first Summer Sessions fundraiser for @savechildrenuk. It was pretty chilly but felt amazing being out in the fresh air with such a stunning backdrop. Hopefully, the weather will pick up. Next session will be Sunday morning at 9:30 am…tell your friends and family. Now for a warm tea ✨💛✨

Paula Clark

As someone new to yoga, I find my sessions with Aimee to be transformational. She has helped me progress rapidly, and I love her 'Yellow Mat Yoga' approach to yoga and life. I feel stronger, more balanced, and genuinely happier after each session. I highly recommend for anyone seeking a transformative yoga experience

Unlock Your Strength

Why yellow?

Yellow embodies sunshine, hope, and boundless happiness. It ignites confidence, sparks creativity, and fills our hearts with joy. Like the sun, it radiates warmth while symbolising enlightenment and wisdom as light itself. Embrace the vibrancy of yellow and let it brighten your world.

Experience Yellow Mat Yoga's transformative power by discovering the connection between breath and movement and unlocking your body's potential through targeted strength-building techniques.

With a focus on concentric, isometric, and eccentric contractions, my teachings guide you to develop balanced strength and resilience, reducing the risk of injury and enhancing your overall well-being.

But yoga isn't just about the body—it's a sanctuary for the mind. Through practice, find harmony, clarity, and serenity amidst life's chaos. Experience the calming effects that extend far beyond the mat, bringing balance and stress reduction into every facet of your life.
