About this Event

About the event

We hope to create a yoga community for queer folks to enjoy group practice and connect with others. Our classes will follow a gentle flow / slow vinyasa style, with a focus on finding some time for you, away from judgement or comparisons. We invite you to take some time to notice how you feel and move in anyway that feels right for you, with options to connect with your breath. We encourage choice in your practice and there are never any expectations on how you practice that day.

The classes will be run various members of our teaching team, usually with one lead teacher and one supporting.

These classes are for gay men who would like to practice yoga at reduced cost. Open to all abilities and experience. We will have around a 60 minute movement and meditation practice, finishing around 8:45pm, followed by some time for a tea and chat. Group size will be up to 14 people.

You should be able to get yourself up and down from the floor as we do not have any chairs at the studio. Please let us know in advance if you have any concerns or questions about the practice.

There are tiered ticket options as we hope to make classes as financially accessible as possible. Please pay what you are able. Your donation goes to support our community teachers and for hire of the space so we can continue running these classes. Refunds are eligible up to 24 hours before class start time - we will struggle to fill your space with short notice. If you are unable to make a class and are willing to offer your ticket to someone else please feel free to email us or share on our Whatsapp group.



About the venue

We will be holding the sessions at The Yoga Shala on Trafalgar Street near Leith. There are bus links close to the studio for buses 7, 10, 11, 14, 16, 21. There is some on street parking around the area. Please aim to arrive 10-15 minutes before class starts.

The venue is situated on ground floor. There is a spacious single stall all gender toilet available at the studio, without grabrails. Door width to enter the studio is 34 inches wide.

When arriving at the building the front door should be open with someone to welcome you and direct you to the space.



What to bring

Mats, blocks, and other yoga props (bolsters, straps, eye pillows) will be provided. We suggest you wear comfy clothes you can freely move in (joggers, shorts, T-shirts etc). You are welcome to bring a water bottle if you'd like, plus any other item you'd like to use with you during class.



Sensory information

We will usually have some quiet music playing during the class. The space where we'll be practising has windows so the studio will be naturally lit for daytime classes, with warm low lighting for evening classes. There may be sounds of traffic and people passing on the street.


If you have any questions at all, please get in touch. Hope to see you there!
