Polly back to top

Polly has practiced yoga for twenty five years, exploring its physical and subtle benefits through Iyengar, Astanga and Hatha traditions. She has taught yoga for ten years, drawing on her interests in and experiences of different yoga traditions to provide students with fresh approaches and insights into yoga so that they can be empowered to make their own practice safe, challenging and personally meaningful. A passionate believer in the cultivation of ‘beginner’s mind’, Polly seeks to balance mastery of asana and pranayama techniques with an attitude of playful exploration and acceptance in her own practice and in her teaching. She regularly attends Iyengar, Hatha and Astanga classes and has done workshops with renowned teachers such as Dona Holleman and John Scott.

Originally from Colorado, USA, Polly has lived and worked in Edinburgh for twenty-five years. She did her post graduate degrees at the University of Edinburgh and has worked in publishing, research and as a tutor in the Arts and Social Sciences faculties for the Open University for fifteen years. She is an avid mountain biker and sea kayaker, and combines her love of outdoor pursuits and yoga by running annual yoga weekends at Firbush, the University of Edinburgh’s outdoor centre on Loch Tay, Perthshire.
