ELIE YOGA CLASSES
Pair one ancient practice, with another ancient tradition
Before Judith, the founder of Elie Seaside Sauna, started offering sauna sessions on Elie Harbour, she was a yoga teacher and swimmer. Judith has swum in the waters of Elie, all her life, and in oceans and rivers around the world, as well as very many swimming pools, with a preference for outdoor pools.
Judith qualified as a 200hr yoga teacher in 2019. When COVID hit, 9 months later, her classes were driven online and outdoors, and that is pretty much where they have remained, going inside in various venues, around Elie, in winter months.
Elie Yoga School’s current home is Toll Green Hall, a small, but beautifully decorated, old hall on the quieter side of Toll Green, Elie. For larger groups, yoga can take place in Elie & Earlsferry Sailing Club, or Earlsferry Town Hall.
In summer, classes are taught on Chapel Green, at the other end of Elie Bay, from Elie Seaside Sauna. Though, classes can also be taught outdoors, on Elie Harbour, itself, close to Shore Sauna.
Connecting with nature and engaging with what our senses tell us and tuning-in with our overall being, is a key part of Elie Yoga School’s practice. This ethos can flow seamlessly into a sauna session.
Regular flowing Vinyasa classes, based on Ashtanga Yoga are offered on Sunday mornings, with more classes offered during school holidays. Quieter Yin Yoga classes are offered, in the evenings, in the darker, winter months. However, if you are booking one of the saunas, for a group, yoga classes can be scheduled at request and can form part of an overall retreat, or event.
Yoga classes are priced at £13 per person and are designed to be enjoyed as much by a one-off visitor, as by a class regular, with lots of options for different postures, so that classes can be enjoyed by yogis of any age, or level of experience.
If you choose to come more regularly, you can pre-pay for 5 classes for the price of 4. These must be used within 6 months.
Classes are scheduled to give you enough time to change/walk to the saunas/grab a coffee, before a sauna, if you wish to combine the practice of yoga, with the tradition of sauna, giving yourself a total wellness experience.
Yoga and sauna sessions must be booked separately, unless they form part of an overall event, or retreat.
