Diversity and Inclusion
Report
Equity, diversity and inclusion are central to the goals of Edinburgh Community Yoga. We recognise the inequities in the systems that surround yoga and the wellness industry in the UK today. We acknowledge that these inequities have led to the exclusion and harm of many communities.
We aim to reach our broadest audience and create an environment that includes participation from people of all races, social or economic status, ethnicities, genders, ages, abilities, religions and sexual orientation free from discrimination or harassment.

Workplace Wellbeing
Report
We know that compassionate leadership, good role modelling and active encouragement of staff wellbeing creates happier staff, effective teams and more productive organisations. By changing the culture of the workplace and actively encouraging stress reduction techniques to become a part of the working day, productivity and work satisfaction increases.
Retreats
Report
We are not currently running residential retreats but intend to again start again when circumstances allow. Please see our typical weekend retreat description below. How can we make time for our selves and our wellbeing in a world that moves so fast? In this weekend we will explore the importance of self care - specifically looking at prioritising relaxation, time to 'be', and joyful activities.
