Carolyn Porter
I qualified as a yoga teacher in March 2025 after personally practicing for 8 years. Currently I run classes at Bridge of Don Community Centre and at Aberdeen Sports Village
I teach a Hatha flow style which means that I link poses together in short sequences, holding each posture for a few breaths. The aim for the majority of my classes to both challenge and calm the body and mind. Classes are open to all levels of experience but I design them with beginners in mind. I not an advanced yogi so I won’t be including any intimidating poses any time soon and always provide options.
My goal is to create a safe space where people feel able to listen to their body and move in a way that feels good for them, both physically and mentally. I avoid talking about diets, calories, fat burning etc Instead I focus on embracing the challenge and what we feel in the moment as well as the life long benefits yoga can offer.
