Yoga with Kirstin

If you love Rebus

Yesterday’s Kingsbarns Beach retreat became a lesson in adapting to the Scottish weather.

The original plan included a coastal walk, sauna, sea swim and yoga. With gale-force winds forecast, we made the sensible decision to shorten the retreat and concentrate on the sauna and swim.

It was still a wonderful experience. There was plenty of laughter and mutual encouragement as everyone made their way into the North Sea, followed by the welcome warmth of the sauna. Kingsbarns Beach provided a beautiful backdrop, complete with dramatic skies and several magnificent rainbows.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and accepted the change of plan with such good humour.

As we move into the winter months, future gatherings will be advertised and priced as sauna and swim experiences. When the weather permits, we will add a yoga session afterwards. Yoga will therefore be a weather-dependent addition rather than a guaranteed part of the programme.

Thank you to Gwen from , and .scot.

✨ TWO TUESDAY YOGA FLAVOURS IN CUPAR ✨

Because our bodies do not always want the same thing on a Tuesday…

🐢 17:45 at Chiropractic Cupar

We will be slowing everything right down — because slow movement has a rather inconvenient habit of revealing exactly where we are trying to cheat!

Expect mindful, controlled movement, a little strap-assisted balance work and some particularly loving attention for our shoulders and backs. We will explore everything within our own range, connecting mind, body and soul without rushing any of them.

🔥 19:15 at Health and Fitness Cupar

Later, we will turn the dial up slightly with a quicker-paced flowing class.

Our abdominals will be politely reminded that they have an important job to do, particularly when it comes to supporting a happy back. We will also investigate our obliques — those very useful muscles which occasionally pretend not to hear us.

It will be flowing, focused, slightly spicy and, as always, accompanied by the occasional moment when left and right become surprisingly complicated.

🌊 Kingsbarns Retreat

There are still a few spaces available for our retreat on Saturday 19 September, from 09:00 until 12:00, in beautiful Kingsbarns.

Three nourishing hours of yoga, Yoga Nidra, sauna and sea swimming or dipping — all for £40 per person.

🌀 And a question for the Kinstretch-curious…

Our two Monday morning Kinstretch classes attracted a small but excellent group. Unfortunately, there were not yet quite enough people to make the 09:00 until 10:00 slot sustainable.

However, I suspect there may be more stiff hips, reluctant shoulders and generally creaky corners out there!

If you would genuinely be interested in a regular Kinstretch class, please tell me:

📍 Would you prefer Cupar, Gauldry, Newburgh or St Andrews?

🦴😂 YOUR JOINTS HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT.

Apparently, sitting too much, driving too much, working too much and then expecting them to perform perfectly when required is not considered adequate maintenance.

Who knew?

So, Monday morning we are giving them some attention.

KinStretch | Mondays | 9:00–10:00 a.m.
📍 Gauldry Village Hall
💷 £8 per person

We rotate things. We bend things. We investigate things. We discover that one hip has considerably stronger opinions than the other.

There will be Controlled Articular Rotations, mobility work, end-range control and strength — essentially teaching your joints to use the range they actually have rather than just flinging limbs about and hoping for the best.

You absolutely do not need to be flexible.

In fact, if putting your socks on has recently started resembling an advanced circus act, you may be exactly the person we are looking for. 😂

And, of course, our usual Flexibility Yoga is still on every Monday from 7:45–8:45 a.m., also at Gauldry Village Hall and also just £8.

Come to one. Come to both. Bring your stiff bits, your wobbly bits and the bits that make mysterious noises.

We shall see what we can do with them. 😁

Your body has to last you a lifetime. It is probably worth spending eight quid on it occasionally.

TUESDAY YOGA IN CUPAR

Two classes, two ways to connect.

5.45 pm | Chiropractic Cupar

Anatomy Yoga — slow, controlled and curious.

Explore your range, joint by joint, with an invitation to experience how your body moves.

Control, movement and your own range — connecting mind, body and soul.

7.15 pm | Fitness Cupar

Using weights as yoga props — instead of blocks and as a way to focus the mind.

Move with care, awareness and control throughout every pose.

Control, movement and your own range — connecting mind, body and soul.

Yoga is union.

Join me for one class, or come for both.

I am very much looking forward to seeing you all. ❤️
