I find chair yoga helpful through mindfulness, controlled breathing and movement giving me the ability to relax and sleep better at night
Testimonials
This is a collection of kind words from people who have attended my classes, courses and retreats.
Many people say the classes help them release tension, feel calmer, and sleep better afterwards.
I was always used to going to fitness classes and walking a lot. Unfortunately, I injured my knee quite badly and was no longer able to do weight bearing exercise. When Meg started the chair yoga class I was delighted, it meant I could exercise sitting down.
It soon became clear that the routine was designed to gently exercise every part of the body without strain or pain. I've been attending the classes for several years now and really feel the benefit. My husband has joined the class now too, because he suffers from balance problems and breathlessness, it is perfect for him and he finds the breathing exercises very beneficial.
I would highly recommend this class for anyone and Meg is a lovely person and a good teacher.

I have been attending Meg’s classes for probably 9 years. We started off in the village hall, with mindful movement. Then when Covid restrictions limited our opportunities to meet together Meg introduced zoom meetings, such a brilliant idea.
Thursday morning is now my hour of “me time”. From the comfort of my own home I can join Meg’s chair yoga class with others who I class as friends even though we are widespread. The chair yoga exercises improve my mobility and tick the box for regular exercise. Meg shares her knowledge of mindfulness, movement and lymphatic drainage in a fun way as we work through the routines. She explains why we should move in a certain way and includes variations for working harder or a more gentle movement. For me the best part of the hour is the relaxation at the end. Meg’s voice, tone and breathing exercises relax me and prepare me for whatever challenges are heading my way.

I thoroughly enjoy Meg’s mindful movement class each week. She creates a nurturing and positive atmosphere. She is obviously very experienced and knowledgeable. I feel relaxed after each class and always glad that I went. The price is also very reasonable for an hour of mindful movement. Keep up the good work Meg.

I have benefitted immensly from Megs tutoring, advice and practice this year. Nothing is too much to ask as her knowledge is vast. The sessions are well structured and she takes all abilities into consideration. Looking forward to 2027!

Thoroughly enjoying my weekly yoga class with lovely Meg. I find it so relaxing with gentle movement and mindfulness. I sleep so well the evening of my class. I totally recommend Meg's Mindful Movement with all its benefits including peace and calm.
Anne
Meg's Wednesday evening relaxing yoga class in Dores is an absolutely blissful treat in the middle of a busy week. I love that it's very accessible with respect to physical ability and cost and that Meg has created a lovely supportive community to enable car sharing and a dip in Loch Ness with like minded folk before the class. I highly recommend this class!
Catrina
I started Meg's Mindful Movement class a few months after having my second child. It quickly became the calm and escape I needed every week to help me relax, switch off and do something for myself. Meg is a lovely teacher and I would definitely recommend her and this class to anyone looking for a bit of me time.
Christine
The yoga retreat was exactly what I needed. I felt welcomed and completely at ease.
The warm and inviting atmosphere made it easy to relax and switch off from the demands of in my life. I found the yoga and mindful sessions incredibly restful, calming, and rejuvenating.
This gave me the space to slow down, unwind. I left feeling calmer, stronger, and more balanced, with renewed energy and a greater sense of wellbeing.
The Wednesday weekly evening classes help me to relax and re balance myself with a demanding job and a supportive role for family these weekly sessions are enjoyable, and I always leave feeling calmer and rested. The good night sleep that follows is maybe the best thing
Lorna
I have been going to Meg's Mindful Movements classes on a Wednesday for a couple of years. She is always a ray of sunshine, so welcoming, positive and energising. During sessions she gives alternative options to allow for progression and to take into account any movement that could aggravate anyone with back issues etc. The session is very gentle, laid back and always a positive experience. I also attended a retreat which was also a lovely way to spend the morning, lunch was amazing! I can't recommend Meg highly enough, she really is a wonderful lady and also does so much for her community and local charities such as Maggies.

I started Meg's Wednesday class nearly a year ago and it has helped me immensely. Meg is an amazing teacher, so calming and helpful too.
I feel so relaxed and calm after each session I would definitely recommend Megs Mindful Movement.

Meg's gentle yoga & relaxation class is a great way to unwind, gently ease out all the aches and pains. The mindful practise really helps to reset and focus on self-care from the stresses of everyday life.
Sherine
I have found Meg’s classes to be so beneficial. Meg is amazing at helping you to relax and de-stress. The gentle exercises and movement release the tension you are carrying, often unknowingly, and the meditation is so relaxing, I often fall asleep. Meg has the perfect voice and tone for helping you to feel comfortable and relaxed. The night after the class I actually get some sleep which is wonderful. I highly recommend Meg and these classes.
Nicki
I cannot thank Meg enough and her Mindfulness and Movement classes have been a huge help to me. I have always loved the classes, having the best night sleep of the week afterwards but during an exceptionally difficult time in my life recently I found myself unable to sleep and felt I couldn’t take a proper breath but for the first time in 5 nights I slept all night and the chest heaviness has gone. I feel like I’ve been reset. I’ll never underestimate the power of mindfulness and meditation but Meg really does deliver this in such a lovely, calm way. Self-care really is so so important and I’m so grateful I can attend these classes and take so much from them.
Susan
I have been attending Meg’s Mindful Movement since it began over a year ago in Gorthleck. It is a lovely way to start the day, a little bit of very gentle exercise followed by a most relaxing body scan meditation. I also attended the eight week course just before Christmas and as a result I have found meditating has now almost become a habit and I find my body relaxing more easily than in the past. The class is very friendly and informal and you can do as much or as little as you want or are able. It definitely gets easier the more you practice. I would highly recommend Meg’s class and thank her for encouraging me with her lovely gentle voice.
Mag

Lynn
Had a wonderful relaxing day in lovely calm environment. Gentle yoga movements to suit all abilities. Meg has such a calming voice and made me feel very welcome. I would definitely recommend anyone who needs a bit of relaxation and learning few tips on how to add it to your life. Thank you.
Liz
I have been going to Meg’s Mindfulness class for over a year. I love Meg’s class. It combines 30 minutes of gentle stretching and 30 minutes of mindful meditation which is guided by Meg’s beautiful relaxing voice. I have also recently completed an 8 week Mindfulness Course run by Meg. Which was fantastic. I highly recommend Meg’s classes to anyone looking to relax and learn techniques to help manage stress in a fun and friendly environment.
