Mo - Yoga Teacher

Over time, yoga became an integral part of her life, supporting her physical and mental wellbeing through pregnancy and challenging times. Wanting to understand why yoga helped her cope, reduce stress, and ease anxiety, she completed her 200-hour training with YogaJo's in Milngavie. She has since trained in Ashtanga yoga, yoga philosophy, Yoga as a Therapeutic Tool, Yoga for Health through the Yoga in Healthcare Alliance, and Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga. Her breath-led teaching focuses on accessibility, sustainable practice, and the freedom of mindful movement.

Keiyiu - Yoga Teacher
Jacqueline - Teacher & Guide
For over twenty years, Jacqueline has been a student and practitioner of wellbeing and spirituality. A former high school teacher, her search for freedom, joy, and wellbeing led her away from the classroom into healing, nature, and non-dual wisdom. She realised a truth hiding in plain sight: what we seek flows from within, from the beingness we already are. She holds qualifications in Yoga, EFT, Soul-Care, Energy Therapy, and Hawaiian Ho'oponopono and Massage, but shares primarily from lived experience. As a spiritual guide and wayshower, she brings together ancient paths and contemporary practices, pointing to what is already true: our divine nature, here and now. Jacqueline's satsangs, workshops, and circles gather fellow explorers in a playful space held with joy, peace, and lightness.

She now teaches Vinyasa Flow, having studied with Jason Crandell, Kathryn Budig and Coral Brown, with whom she had the opportunity to visit Rishikesh in India.
