Six ways to practise.

Pick the one that fits this week. Not sure? Yin is the friendliest place to start.

In-person

Ashtanga-inspired Flow

75 mins; Prestwick; good level of fitness, any experience

Dynamic and vigorous, structured and rhythmic: we practise postures in a set order to build strength as well as flexibility; we co-ordinate breath and movement. As the sequence is fixed, you become familiar with it quickly.

Bring a mat and a blanket.

In-person

Yin

75 mins; Prestwick; all levels

In this class, we hold postures for several minutes, using supportive props and mindful breathing. This class is suitable for all levels of yoga experience. Expect long, restorative holds, gentle transitions, moments of stillness, and a relaxing final savasana.

Bring a yoga mat, yoga blocks (if you have them), and a blanket.

Online

Flow and Restore

75 mins; on Zoom; all levels

Three thirds: standing postures joined into short sequences; a seated sequence; then longer-held reclining postures, using props to support us throughout. Suitable for every level of experience.

Props: two bricks or firm cushions, a bolster or two pillows in a case, a strap or dressing-gown belt.

In-person

Yoga for Girls

60 mins; Ayr; no experience needed

For secondary school-aged girls, whatever your experience, body shape, or fitness level. In the class, we build strength and flexibility; learn simple tools for relaxation; take time to breathe and reset; meet others in a supportive, judgement-free space.

Bring a mat and a blanket.

In-person

Adult & Child Partner

60 mins; Prestwick; no experience needed

For primary school-aged children and their parent, carer or significant grown-up. A chance to make shapes with our bodies, notice our breathing, and enjoy some quiet, focused time together.

Bring mats (or alternatives) and a blanket.

In-person

Adult & Young Person Partner

60 mins; Prestwick; no experience needed

For secondary school-aged young people and their parent, carer or significant grown-up. A chance to practise together, breathe deeply, and enjoy time away from screens and other distractions.

Bring mats (or alternatives) and a blanket.

About

Almost thirty years a student.
Thirteen years a teacher.

As a busy primary school teacher and then a lecturer, I felt the enormous benefits of a regular practice: creating time and space to focus, the meditative quality of moving through familiar sequences, breathing deeply. After sixteen years as a practitioner I trained as a teacher with Yoga Alliance, building a strong foundation in asana and pranayama, and later deepened that with children's yoga study through Rainbow Kids.

I bring a clear, methodical, evidence-informed approach to teaching. I still love Ashtanga-inspired vinyasa flow; through the pandemic I came to love slower, deeper yin, and that now runs through my Flow and Restore classes. I'm passionate about bringing yoga to children, young people and families, and I believe yoga really is for every body, so my classes are inclusive, with modifications and adaptations to make postures accessible to all.

In 2026 I left a long career in primary and university education; the time feels right to devote more of it to teaching yoga. I'm also training to be a celebrant. Otherwise you'll find me reading, walking the Ayrshire seaside and countryside, at the theatre, or with family and friend-family.

Before your first class

Good questions.

Where are your classes?

Classes are at St Nicholas Church Hall in Prestwick or Flourish EQ in Sandgate, Ayr; some are online. Get directions to Prestwick or to Ayr.

How do I pay?

Payment isn't taken through this site — you'll pay Jennifer directly. Ask her when you book if you're not sure what works best.

I'm a complete beginner — are your classes suitable for me?

Yes. I strive to make classes accessible to all, and I encourage you to work within your current capabilities and level of fitness. Ashtanga-inspired classes suit those with a reasonable level of physical fitness; Flow and Restore and Yin suit every level of experience.

What do I need to wear?

Stretchy, breathable clothing that allows free movement. Avoid anything too loose that may shift during class (Lycra is your friend!). We practise in bare feet.

What should I bring to class?

A yoga mat, a blanket for relaxation, and an open mind. We use props in Flow and Restore and in Yin — for Yin, bring yoga blocks too if you have them. If you don't have yoga props, you can adapt what you have at home.

Is yoga suitable if I have injuries or health conditions?

In most cases, yes, but always consult your healthcare provider first. Let me know about any injuries so I can offer modifications.

Do I have to book online? Can I just drop in?

It's usually possible to drop in to the in-person classes, though booking is recommended. Prior booking for the online classes is necessary.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

Cancel at least 24 hours ahead for a refund or credit; within 24 hours, no refund or credit.
