What I Offer
Penalty Free Subscription Model
Pay a monthly subscription to come to as many live online classes as you like! You'll only receive an access link and reminders for classes you sign up for so you're not spammed. But I get that life happens: Caring responsibilities? Flare up? You won't be penalised for skipping a class you've booked!
View subscriptions1:1 Online Yoga
Get in contact if you'd like to arrange 1:1 yoga classes with me. Let me know what you're hoping to get out the session and if you would like to practice online or in person (in Edinburgh!) We can then work out a price and session plan based on your requirements.

Creating an inclusive and dynamic learning environment where you can sustainably build towards your functional fitness goals.
You Are the Expert
I believe that you are the expert on your own body. My role is to guide you through self-enquiry, helping you understand what your unique self needs.
Function Over Aesthetics
We focus on what your body can do, not how it looks. Building sustainable strength and mobility that serves your real-life goals.
Embrace Your Uniqueness
There is no 'one size fits all' in yoga or fitness. Your practice is personalised to you, with modifications, props, breaks and hydration welcomed.
Challenge the Norms
There's no single 'way it's always been done.' We embrace diversity and challenge traditional norms to find what truly works for you.
How I Teach
My goal is to empower you through self-enquiry. I believe that you are the expert on your own body, and my role is to guide you to understand what your unique self needs.
With this knowledge, you can sustainably build towards your functional fitness goals, whether that's climbing stairs with ease, carrying your child, or simply moving through life with less pain.

Meet Shruti
PhD | Level 4 Personal Trainer | 400hr+ Yoga Teacher
Hi, I'm Shruti and I live with Psoriatic Arthritis. I was diagnosed in 2020, after over 10 years of issues with my body. I'd been doing yoga for years to help my symptoms, building strength and stability as well as a mental calm.
My background in rehabilitation research (PhD, Imperial College London) combined with my training as a Level 4 Personal Trainer means I can work safely with complex conditions. I'm also a trauma-informed yoga teacher, because I know that living with chronic illness often comes with its own emotional weight.
Whether you're managing a chronic condition, recovering from injury, or simply want a gentler approach to fitness, I'm here to guide you. No pressure, no judgement, just movement that meets you where you are.
