Breathe. Focus. Relax.
Our open studio space in The Wellbeing Lab sits in the eaves of our gorgeous stableyard, with views out to the beautiful nature surrounding us in Dalkeith Country Park. This the perfect backdrop to our varied programme of classes, which all have a focus on health through wellness of spirit, mind and body. Our expert teachers will help you step off the world for that one vital moment to escape the crazy of the modern world. Enjoy yoga, Pilates, mindfulness and baby sensory classes as well as one-off focussed wellbeing workshops and crafternoons. Whether you’re searching for yoga for beginners, Pilates classes near you or parent and baby groups nearby, you’re sure to find a class to suit your needs.
We are delighted to announce the Wellbeing Lab programme will re-launch from 11th January 2020. We’ll start online and move back to The Wellbeing Lab and group outdoor fitness when restrictions are lifted. Please always book in and check the latest dates via MindBody – thanks.

Jen Wood
Specialising in Mindfulness Coaching, CBT & More, Jen Wood is our Therapist based at The Sanctuary and also the Wellbeing Lab's consultant, directing the weekly classes and monthly workshops.
Alis Atagan
Alis is one of our resident yoga teacher. Alis believes that yoga is for everybody no matter what their ability, age or physical ailment. Yoga has had a profound impact on her, helping her to transition through difficult times and has helped her learn to love her body. Her classes focus on learning how to soften into feeling.
Nina Goldberger
Nina is one of our resident yoga teachers. She has practised yoga since 2009, initially for fitness. In 2014 she discovered Ashtanga yoga and was thrown into the deep end with an intensive period in India. Here she met an excellent teacher for guidance. Nina is a stickler for alignment.
Declan Mair
Declan is one of our in-house teachers. Working by day and yogi by night, Declan uses yoga to find balance, stillness and peace in the chaos of modern life. Declan has completed a 500hr teacher training course with Yoga Scotland having previously practiced for many years.
Tess Johnson
Tess is one of our resident teachers. She started practicing yoga to help with a back injury, but soon found its benefits to process stress too. She was quickly drawn to the style of Forrest Yoga as a physically and emotionally healing practice, but also highly fun which gives her a real buzz. She is excited to share it with others.
Suzanne Maynard
Suzanne is a women’s health and fitness coach and mum to two young boys. Balancing the many roles in her life means she understands the pressures today’s women are dealing with. Suzanne puts her clients are the centre of the work she does, encouraging them to take time during the sessions for themselves.
Michelle Bowen
Michelle Bowen is a Chartered Physiotherapist with 21 years of experience in the NHS and the private sector. She combines her physiotherapy skills with her Pilates training to provide effective Pilates programmes for all levels.
Aileen Orr
Aileen has been teaching yoga for over 20 years. Since her first yoga class she had a profound connection with and gratitude for Restorative Yoga. She appreciates the elegance of the precise use of props to support the body in a state of yield, allowing breath and prana to flow freely, and the preciousness of the invitation to slip beyond thought and anxiety, into the stillness which is always there.
Rebecca Palmer
Rebecca Palmer is a Pilates Foundation Matwork Teacher. She completed her training under Brigid McCarthy in 2011 and has taught groups and individuals in Edinburgh ever since. Rebecca teaches a wide range of bodies with different requirements and has most recently been teaching classes specifically tailored to cyclists. She firmly believes that Pilates should be seen as an accessible, inclusive exercise form and encourages men and women to join her classes.
