Vanessa - Peaceful Life Yoga

07/09/2026

✨ Very excited to share the full teaching timetable for this week, including two new classes at Core, Dunbar in September....

The new Rise & Shine Yoga on Wednesday mornings offers a mindful start to the day. We begin with a breathing practice to help centre ourselves and prepare for movement. Following a gentle warm-up, we gradually become more active, incorporating flow and a variety of yoga postures. We then finish with relaxation and/or meditation. ☀️

A new monthly Yin Yoga class on Sunday evenings offers a slower, meditative and restorative practice. With the aid of props, we hold supported postures for several minutes, while bringing our attention to the breath and our senses, creating space for peace and quiet. 🌙

There’s a range of classes available to suit different experience levels and preferences - from the more active Ashtanga practice to slower-paced Yin, there’s something to suit everyone.

Most classes include pranayama (breathing practices), meditation and/or relaxation, alongside yoga postures and mindful movement.

Classes are friendly, welcoming and intentionally small, with a maximum of 9 attendees. This allows for more individual guidance and support, while still enjoying the connection and encouragement of practising together. 💛

☀️ RISE & SHINE YOGA - NEW WEDNESDAY MORNING CLASS ☀️

Start your Wednesday with movement, breath and a little time for yourself. 🌿

I’m delighted to be introducing Rise & Shine Yoga, every Wednesday at 7:00 am at Core, Dunbar.

A mindful morning practice to help you wake up the body, clear the mind and set a positive tone for the day ahead. Expect a blend of yoga movement, breathwork and mindfulness - leaving you feeling more energised, grounded and ready for the day.

And if mornings aren’t your thing, there are other opportunities to practise with me in Dunbar:

🧘‍♀️ Rise & Shine Yoga
Wednesdays • 7:00 - 8:00 am
Core, Dunbar

💪 Yoga for Men
Wednesdays • 8:00 - 9:00 pm

🌿 Ashtanga Yoga
Fridays • 9:45 - 10:45 am
Core, Dunbar

🌙 Yin Yoga — coming soon
Sundays • 7:00 - 8:30 pm
Once a month at Core
Starting Sunday 13 September

Yin is a slower, restful and meditative practice, with longer-held floor-based postures designed to encourage release, relaxation and stillness. A lovely way to wind down at the end of the weekend. ✨

Small classes - more personal attention
All my classes at Core are intentionally kept small, with a maximum of 9 participants. This means there’s more space for individual guidance, questions and support, while keeping the classes friendly, relaxed and welcoming.

Whether you're completely new to yoga, returning to your practice or looking to deepen an existing one, you're very welcome.

I also offer 1:1 private yoga sessions and private small-group classes, tailored around your individual needs, experience and goals.

And if you're in Haddington, I also teach two classes each week at Fairbairn House, including 'Ease Into Your Day' at 7:30 am on Fridays, so there are plenty of opportunities to find a class and time that works for you. 🌿

Super excited to be launching this new class this week. Regulars at my early Friday morning class in Haddington love starting the day with yoga, I am delighted to now also offer this in my home town of Dunbar. All welcome - we’ll start the morning tuning in to our breath and our bodies in preparation for some Ashtanga yoga followed by meditation and/or relaxation. Hope to welcome you to class. Namaste 🙏 💕🧘‍♀️

Starting this week…Rise & Shine yoga with Vanessa on Wednesdays 7-8am. Start the day with this peaceful class; a session that will boost your energy and calm your mind, leaving you feeling energised and ready for the day ahead. Starting with a grounding breathwork (pranayama) practice to cleanse and strengthen your body, before moving through sun salutations and other dynamic Ashtanga postures, finishing up with meditation and/or relaxation.

This class is great for beginners and anyone with yoga experience too. You don’t need to be super fit or flexible - there’ll be options to suit you, whatever your age and fitness level, and wherever you’re at in your yoga journey. The only thing you’ll need is to be able to get up and down from your mat comfortably. Book at www.bookwhen.com/peacefullifeyoga

Come join these Sunday night chill out Yin and Restorative yoga classes at Core, High Street, Dunbar. A great way to treat yourself to some restful time in advance of the week ahead. Feel free to wear your pj’s if you’re so inclined 😊 I’ll be teaching a Yin class on 13/09 and then every 5 weeks - booking can be made either via https://bookwhen.com/peacefullifeyoga or via Core’s booking system. Hope to see you there. 💕🙏💕

Starting next Sunday 6th September with Sonny, this 90 min Sunday evening yin/restorative yoga class includes elements of Yin yoga and restorative yoga to allow you to rest, relax and release tension in the body and mind. Yin Yoga is a restful and meditative practice that invites you to slow down, soften, and turn inward, with postures held for longer periods, allowing the body to gently release tension and work into the fascia (the deeper connective tissues) improving flexibility and supporting joint health. Restorative yoga generally uses bolsters and blankets to support the body in long held stretches which aim to create a feeling of deep rest. Combining Yin and restorative yoga, this quiet, floor-based practice is complemented by mindful breathing and stillness, helping to calm the nervous system and create a sense of balance in both body and mind. Unlike more dynamic styles of yoga, this class invites us to be still and cultivate patience. Holding postures for longer can bring sensations that challenge us to soften rather than resist. Through conscious breathing and relaxation, we learn to become comfortable with stillness, allowing both body and mind to gradually release and open. Our Yin/restorative yoga offers space to pause, unwind, and simply be - leaving you feeling grounded, relaxed, and restored. Suitable for all levels, including beginners.
