Come and join myself, Jo Myles and Laura Cram for some seasonal nourishment at the beautiful Restoration Yard, nestled in Dalkeith Country Park.
This day aims to give you the gift of switching off and taking time to fill your cup.
The day-long experience will include a gentle flow, a luxurious sound bath meditation, delicious vegetarian lunch together, time for a gentle walk before cosying back in for healing Qigong practices. The day concludes with a restorative and yin yoga fusion, culminating in a restful yoga nidra.
I would love to share the day with you for rest, nourishment and time to just be..
The Autumn/Winter sessions…
Monthly 90 minute yin out sessions
Saturdays October 4th, November 15th, December 6th 2025

Saturdays: October 4th, November 15th, December 6th 2025
1 - 2:30pm, The Yoga Shala,Edinburgh EH6 4DF,

These 90 minute yin yoga sessions are an invitation to slow down. The practices will be focussed around the lungs and large -intestine chi (autumn meridians) and also the kidney & bladder chi (winter meridians) to help keep the body’s vital energy nourished. All this work will support the energy in the body to help carry you through the season and give you some tools to support yourself when you feel you need it most.
By nourishing the Lung Chi we can give ourselves the support to hold on to what is precious and let go of what no longer serves us. When we tend the Kidney Chi we can find the space to connect more closely to our inner wisdom.
Who is this class suitable for?
All levels welcome - the Yin asana can be quite intense so all props are provided to support. I will also give some restorative options if the Yin work gets too intense.
What to expect.
The session will begin with some gentle seated or supine movement to warm the body and help focus the mind to the breath.
Then we get into the deep Yin poses where we can really crawl into ourselves and enjoy the quiet space surrounding us.
A short yoga nidra and grounding pranayama will complete your practice, giving you tools to carry the rest and nourishment with you into the rest of your day. You may wish to take a quiet day at home to enjoy the full benefits of your practice and have some good, delicious, nourishing food.
During this time of being free from requirements or expectations, I strive for you to feel nourished and well rested after this time in a held space.

Winter warmer- a Yin mini retreat for rest and renewal
At Lila Yoga Edinburgh

Beat any winter blues and give your immune system a boost with a quiet, restorative Yin yoga mini retreat.
This time of year can take its toll on our immune systems and emotional wellbeing, whether the winter is washing us out, the dark days bringing us down or we just need some well deserved time out.
This workshop will be based around the element of water and the Kidney/bladder meridians. By nurturing this element we can help to ignite our sense of resolve, allowing us to stay focussed on our path, help to support bone tissue health, let go of our fears and find our inner wisdom.
Nadine strives for you to feel nourished and well rested after this time in a held space.
Who is this workshop suitable for?
Suitable for all levels. Yin yoga can be quite intense and the sustained, supported holds (approx 2 - 4 mins) can sometimes feel overwhelming. You have full permission to exit poses whenever you wish and various options are given.
What to expect?
The workshop will begin with centering and a 10 minute low, slow, gentle flow to warm the body and help focus the mind to the breath.
The practice will then move into the Yin work using props to support the body. All props will be provided.
After taking asana practice, the workshop will move into some pranayama and meditation to keep us buoyant over the season and help us keep our inner glow as we head towards the midwinter.
The space is warm but everyone is different - you may wish to dress in layers and have some cosy socks.
You may wish to make sure you don’t have much going on for the rest of the day so you can fully rest and recharge when you get home. If driving or cycling after the workshop please allow some extra time to readjust.
