We are really lucky in Dumfries and the surrounding area as there are lots of yoga teachers delivering classes locally.

This page lists all the main teachers I’m aware of who are teaching in-person yoga classes (unless specified) in Dumfries and some of the surrounding towns like Annan, Beattock, Dalbeattie, Thornhill and Lockerbie.*

I've included links to the teachers' websites/Facebook pages so you can find the most recent info about their classes and contact them directly. Always contact a teacher before turning up for the first time, to check the class is running, has space and is suitable for you.

If you try a class and it's not quite your cup of tea, try another one. All teachers and approaches are different and yoga can be quite a personal thing as to what resonates with you.
