# Leith Yoga
Leith Yoga is a specialist yoga studio based in Edinburgh's EH1 postcode, offering thoughtfully designed classes and one-to-one sessions rooted in body wisdom and personal inquiry. Founded on the belief that our bodies are inherently wise and beautiful, the studio serves individuals seeking to develop physical strength and mental clarity whilst building the tools for personal evolution and social impact.
The studio caters to those who want more than surface-level fitness. Their approach honours each person as the expert of their own body, moving away from prescriptive instruction towards empowering self-discovery. Classes combine yoga postures, breathwork and bodywork with reflective practices that cultivate genuine body awareness rather than simply chasing flexibility or aesthetic goals.
What sets Leith Yoga apart is its philosophical integration of personal practice with broader purpose. The studio explicitly frames self-care as a foundation for meaningful social contribution—yoga becomes not just wellness but a pathway to enacting positive change. Their teaching style, evidenced by client testimonials, balances rigorous strengthening work with nurturing presence; clients describe feeling simultaneously energised and deeply calm after sessions.
The studio offers flexibility across different needs and budgets through online group classes, private one-to-one sessions tailored to individual circumstances, and specialist core support programmes. Their teaching, led by Janet Forrest, combines expertise with warmth, creating an accessible yet transformative experience for both yoga newcomers and experienced practitioners seeking deeper work.
