yoga with mairi
After traveling seven seas, both geographically and professionally, Mairi
started running Yoga with Mairi classes in central Scotland, in 2018, gradually
growing a small but inclusive community of dedicated Hatha Yoga practitioners.
Now getting close to 1000 of teaching hours delivered. Mairi started practicing
Hatha Yoga 20 years ago, and had an honour to learn from many amazing teachers
across the world. Her practice was, however, particularly influenced by the
Bihar and Hridaya schools of Yoga, and this orientation led her to discover the
Akasha Yoga Academy (Bali/Thailand), where she completed her 200hrs Hatha Yoga
Teacher Training in 2017. Mairi also holds a First Class Certificate in
Philosophy of Yoga, from Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies affiliated to the
University of Oxford (2016). Besides that, and somewhat relevant to her
teaching, Mairi holds a continental MD qualification from her first degree, and
she is a Master of Science in social medicine from her second degree. She also
holds a postgraduate qualification in Cultural and Gender Studies. Since her
first qualification from the School of Medicine at the University of Belgrade
(Serbia), and until recently, Mairi was an academic researcher in social
medicine and medical sociology, and for some time, also a lecturer. She was
specialising in qualitative research and understanding health and access to
healthcare, with a particular interest in complexity theory, holistic health &
integrative healthcare. You can find more about that body of work
