Lindsay Macdonald
I am a yoga teacher who has been formed over years! A Biomedical Science degree, a thesis on Vagal control of heart rate, a love of exercise and a never ending battle with my body shape has led me to where I am today. A passionate functional yoga instructor! I first discovered yoga many years ago and then developed a regular practice during covid. The transformation of my body, fat loss, toning and a new shape I had never thought possible where the initial drivers to my practice. Quickly I discovered my mat was a place of calm, of peace. I learned and understood the term equanimity and felt my whole life alter slightly. Yoga empowered me to be calmer and happier and to pass this on to others. I trained as Yoga instructor at Hot Yoga Edinburgh, an award winning Yoga Studio with beliefs aligned to my own. I discovered hot yoga and found the benefits endless. Yoga has been so life altering for me, that I felt I could do nothing other than open my own studio to allow other people to make the same discovery. My teaching stlye is fun and my flows strong and dynamic. I teach from my mat demonstrating and encouraging. I will offer modifications to make each pose accessible and offer adjustments and assists when required and of course invited. All I ask is you bring an open mind and give it a go.

At the end of 2021, I retired from my corporate role to focus my time and attention on things that mattered most to me. Having carved out a successful career in HR for 30 years, I was ready to focus 100% on teaching fitness and yoga classes as well having time to spend creating more happy memories with family and friends.
The transition has been a challenging one - my body and mind broken from working too hard for too long. It took around 18 months to peel back the layers, heal and re-grow. During this time, I undertook learning in new modalities including Yoga Nidra, Naad Yoga, Inferno Hot Pilates and Bodywheel TherapyTM. In October 2023, after 24 years living and working in London, I am settling in to the community of Auchterarder where I am closer to my family.
My mantra is to be happy, strong, and kind.
To be able to lead and guide people in fitness and yoga practices is a joy. Whatever the modality, sharing the opportunity to nourish both the body and mind is the best job in the world.

Holly is a classically trained ballet dancer and qualified Barre Fitness instructor, certified by the Barre Collective. Holly taught in a number of top Barre studios in London including Barreworks, Fly LDN, Disco Barre and Barre 50. Barre is a high intensity, low impact strength workout that sculpts and tones the whole body. It has roots in Pilates and ballet but it is not a dance class!

I have been working in the wellness industry for over ten years, I started working as a personal trainer in London and taught a variety of classes including bootcamp, circuits, legs, bums and tums and HIIT, after working as a self-employed PT for around 2 years, I then secured a job as a Group Exercise co-ordinator for Sky UK, I worked for Sky for five years where I was promoted twice. During my time at Sky alongside my day to day duties and responsibilities, I also taught weekly and gained a Kettlebells qualification, pre and post natal fitness and TRX qualification. After my time at Sky I made the decision to relocate home to Scotland with my young son Zak who is now 6.

I have a great passion for movement and have always loved to dance. Yoga is a great way for me to express myself and i feel it is an extension of my dance practice. I enjoy teaching hatha yoga, which I am currently teaching at Bridge of Earn, I have been doing this class for five weeks and there is a lovely group of ladies attending. I would also like to teach a faster paced power class and would also love to try a class mixing strength with yoga.
Aside from yoga and wellness, I love being in nature and am so grateful we have so many options on our doorstep. I love meeting up with my friends for yoga and brunch and I am a single mum, so a lot of my time is spent caring for my son and I am going to be doing a kid yoga and ASN yoga course this weekend in London, so hoping I can add some kids and family yoga to my schedule so my son can also get involved.
Hi there, I’m Emilia Prus
a dedicated Pilates teacher and kinesiologist who passionately believes in the innate healing abilities of the human body. Inspired by my own transformative experience attending local Pilates classes in London, I decided to embark on a journey to become a certified Pilates teacher.
Before entering the realm of Pilates and kinesiology, my professional background led me through the bustling diamond jewellery trade after gaining a master's degree in geology and a degree in gemmology; I spent several years immersed in this dynamic industry.
My personal health challenges, including lower back pain and an autoimmune disorder, became a nudge for my exploration into alternative modalities. Embracing a holistic approach that encompassed various movement practices, functional medicine, and dietary considerations, I discovered the profound impact of mind-body-spirit connections on overall well-being.
In my pursuit of knowledge and expertise, I underwent training with esteemed institutions such as Body Control Pilates, The Academy of Systematic Kinesiology TASK in London, and Kinetic Chain Release in Scotland. The diverse training equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of movement, holistic health, and the intricate connections between the body's systems.

Prior to my relocation to Perthshire, I taught Pilates among various studios in London and Kent where I trained group, private as well as corporate classes, reflecting my versatility and commitment to making movement accessible to all.
From all my experiences my greatest joy is teaching rehabilitative classes which I had the pleasure to teach for a physiotherapy clinic in south-east London. The main focus of these sessions is to help clients with recovery from post-op injuries, joint replacement, arthritis, low back pain, frozen joints, osteoporosis, or osteopenia.
My teaching philosophy centers on the belief that Pilates not only builds physical strength but also cultivates a profound sense of relaxation that harmonises the body and mind. I’m grateful to witness the progress and growing strength of my clients, reflecting the positive impact of my guidance on their recovery.
As a firm advocate for the body's natural self-repair mechanisms, I’m dedicated to empowering others to tap into their own innate ability to heal. My journey as a Pilates teacher and kinesiologist is marked by a genuine passion for helping individuals from all walks of life achieve holistic well-being, embodying the transformative power of movement and mindful living.
