Other yoga classes

Yoga classes in Dumfies (and beyond)

Several local teachers teach yoga classes in and around Dumfries. Here are the main teachers I’m aware of who are teaching in-person yoga classes (unless specified) with links to their websites/Facebook pages so you can find the most recent info about their classes and contact them directly. Always contact a teacher first before turning up, to check the class is running, has space etc.

If you want classes in Dumfries itself, the teachers are: Alyson, Moira, Lucy, Jane (at Bannatyne’s club), and Jill (currently paused other than women-only class taught by Marie). Look these teachers up in the list below to find their info / links.
