Lena here from And Breathe Yoga in Bathgate wanted to touch base with everyone in our sports community. Her yoga studio offers a mix of in-person and online classes that focus on the seasons and include breathwork and meditation.
For in-person sessions, Lena's classes at Bathgate Partnership Centre sync with nature and shift with the seasons. They feature breathwork and meditation like Yoga Nidra to get you in the zone. And if a class is full, no worries! Just drop her a line to get on the waiting list for last-minute spots.
Prefer to practise from home? Lena also runs live online seasonal yoga classes every week. These are recorded too, so you can buy a session and practise whenever you like. Attending live means you can set a regular time, stick to it, and enjoy connecting with others online. The online classes are tailored for an immersive experience, perfect for practising at home.
In winter, Lena focuses on the Water element—think rest, restoration, and renewal. These classes feature yin poses held for longer, with some yang moves to keep things balanced. Ideal for conserving energy during those colder months.
Expect yin poses targeting bladder and kidney energy, as well as the back, legs, hips, and some twists. These sessions are great for those feeling low on energy, helping to restore vitality without overdoing it.
Lena’s teaching style blends Hatha Yoga with Traditional Chinese Medicine, using the 5 Elements Framework for health and well-being. You'll find a mix of Yoga Asanas, Pranayama, Qigong, Meditation, and Yoga Nidra in her classes. Her background in Shiatsu means you'll experience everything from dynamic flows in warm weather to restorative yoga during winter.
Most folks leave feeling stretched, balanced, and calm.
