Meet Kirstin
I am originally from Germany.
I fell in love with Scotland in the early nineties, but ended up working all across Europe with a corporate career. I came back to the place of my heart, Scotland, in 2010
Yoga "happened' to me while I was going through meno pause & started suffering from asthma. Shortness of breath and wheezing, which affected me to the point that walking got difficult. Inhalers provided some relief but obviously did not cure the condition.
I started yoga first 10 mins a day with an online app which helped my breathing. I felt a little more in control.
I had heard of the "Kilted Yogis"/ Heartspace in Dundee but it took me over a year to set foot into the studio.
One of my first classes was a Barre Class with Alan Lambie, which I loved. It took a mere six months before the asthma symptoms subsided.
When a 200 hrs teacher training was offered I simply wanted to do this to understand yoga better and to learn more, but teaching is also magic:
Being inclusive and encouraging you to have fun, enjoy your body, explore its abilities and limits, challenge both in a kind, gentle and understanding way. Honour yourself and love yourself.
I personally enjoy power, sculpt & Barre, have a root in Forest Yoga but generally thrive to enable you to move your body in all directions with love, gentleness and mindful control.

Yoga to me is an ever lasting journey of discovery.

It never takes long to feel nourished.
