Would you like to immerse yourself in your personal yoga practice? To refresh and inspire your personal approach to yoga? If, like many of us, you feel the need to take time out, dive deep into your personal practice and replenish your energy levels, then join us for this year’s Scaravelli Inspired Yoga & Wellbeing Immersion. This year, we’re focusing on feeling good. Exploring how and why yoga helps to lift our mood and downregulate our nervous system. Each day, we’ll practice yoga, breathwork and meditation. We’ll walk across the downs and down to the beach for a swim, maybe light a bonfire as the sun sets.

ROOTS In the whirlwind of daily life, we often miss the present. But what if we paused? By cultivating awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and the world around us, we unlock a path to greater well-being. This practice, known as mindfulness, allows us to savour life's experiences and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves. Have you ever noticed yourself multitasking on autopilot? Working from home with the TV on, scrolling through your phone while eating, or rushing through your day without truly being present? In today's digital age, it's easy to become scattered and disconnected.  That's where "Roots" comes in. The name has a reason just like our life. Our roots, both physical and metaphorical, connect us to the earth's energy. Yoga mimic these roots, anchoring us in the present moment. Mindfulness becomes the fertile ground where inner wisdom and true self can flourish.  I am NIROSHINI, and I've been practising yoga since the age of 6. With a background rooted in yoga and naturopathy studies in India, I'm passionate about sharing the transformative power of yoga and mindfulness. Drawing from the wisdom of Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga traditions, we have a tapestry of mindful movement, breathwork, postures, (asanas), meditation, and relaxation techniques. This holistic approach cultivates peace, strength, and awareness on both on and off the mat. At Roots, we believe yoga is a transformative tool for a happier, healthier you. Discover your roots and embark on this journey of mindful well-being.  This will be your path to reconnect with yourself. Through gentle yoga practices and mindfulness techniques, you'll learn to cultivate present-moment awareness and a sense of calm amidst the everyday chaos. Imagine truly savouring your meals, quieting your mind during work, increased productivity and finding peace in the simple moments. Through “Roots” you'll experience a dramatic shift in your well-being and the way you look at the journey of your life. Join me on this journey to find your roots and discover the joy of mindful living. Contact us : +447395275754 Instagram: therootsedinburgh
