Sūrya Yoga Studio

Formerly Sun Valley Yoga Studio

Sūrya is the Sanskrit word for 'sun'. The sun deity embodies light, warmth and renewal. It also represents balance in life. We can't have light without dark, solar energy without lunar, yang without yin.

My story

I have always been a teacher. My work in schools taught me how people learn and what helps them grow. Over time, I wanted to teach in a way that brought more balance and reflection into that, and yoga offered that path.

During my training, I studied yoga's history, philosophy, and practice. Teaching it felt natural, joining my love of learning with a desire to help others feel connected and aware. I later trained in Reiki too, drawn to it for the same reason, a way of helping people settle and reconnect with themselves. I think that Reiki is a beautiful practice and there is something magical to it.

Sūrya Yoga Studio began as a personal project. When I moved to Romanno Bridge, the studio space beside our home became a place to teach, learn, and share.

My classes focus on connection. You explore movement, breath, and rest, and learn to listen to your body and respond to what it needs that day. Reiki sessions offer a quieter and very personalised version of the same thing, a chance to slow down and be held for a while. The practice, in both forms, stays respectful of its roots and open to everyone.

Yoga

Monday 5:30 pm

A purposeful practice that takes time to explore each posture fully; building awareness of muscle groups, alignment and breath as you move. Includes pranayama (breathwork) and closes with meditation.

 

A grounding way to start the week, whether you're winding down from a busy day or building a more mindful relationship with your body.

Vinyasa Flow

Sunday 8:30 am

A dynamic, breath-led practice that links movement to breath, building heat, strength and flexibility as you flow through the sequence.

 

Energising and expansive, the perfect way to open a Sunday.

Yin and Restorative Yoga

Monday 6:45 pm

& Sunday 9:45 am

A slow, still practice where postures are held for several minutes, allowing you to release deep into the body and quiet an overactive mind.

 

Yin is the perfect counterbalance to a busy week; no strength or flexibility required. Just a willingness (or want) to slow down.

 

Suitable for all levels, including complete beginners.

Strength & Mobility

Friday 10:00 am

A grounded, low-impact class focused on building functional strength, joint mobility and balance, designed to help you move through everyday life with more ease and confidence.

 

Particularly well suited to those in midlife and beyond, though open to anyone wanting to build strength without high-impact strain.

 

No experience necessary.

Private Yoga & Reiki Sessions

One-to-one sessions for personal guidance, healing, and restoration.

For those seeking a more invigorating element, guided cold water immersion at local lochs can also be included. These retreats are intentionally small and personalised, offering a rare opportunity for quiet, clarity, and meaningful reset.
