Meet Julia

I'm Julia Shaw, originally from Derbyshire and have been living in Uig on the Isle of Lewis for 25 years.

I trained with the British Wheel of Yoga and continue to study and teach Scaravelli-inspired yoga—a style that encourages you to listen to your body rather than force it into shapes.

I'm also a Reiki Master, offering Reiki attunements and free online Reiki sessions each month.

I believe yoga isn't about how a pose looks. It's about how it feels.

Hi this is me, Julia Shaw, a bit flattering as it was a few years ago!

Yoga That Moves With You

As a senior myself, with over 20 years of teaching experience, I know how much our bodies change over time.

Mine certainly doesn't move as it did 20 or 30 years ago!

The wonderful thing about yoga is that it adapts to us. My classes are slow, gentle and thoughtful—not power yoga or fitness-focused. They encourage better posture, greater ease of movement, relaxation and a deeper connection with your body.

There's no pressure to touch your toes or keep up with anyone else. This is your practice, at your own pace.

A Practice That Supports You

My classes are ideal if you:

Are new to yoga.
Are returning after a break.
Prefer a slower, gentler pace.
Want time to relax and unwind.
Are navigating the natural changes that come with ageing.
Simply need a little time for yourself.

Expect clear guidance, gentle movement, plenty of encouragement—and the occasional laugh along the way.

Slow Mindful Yoga

For Healthy Ageing

Online Classes

For Every Body

Streamed from the inspirational

Outer Hebrides, Scotland

Slow, gentle yoga classes you can enjoy from the comfort of your home -wherever you are.

Practising Slow Yoga has totally transformed how I teach and I would love to share that with you. I no longer want to put my body through the more power/fitness styles of Yoga. Although they are excellent for cardio health - I now listen to my body more and let my yoga practice care for my joints, flexibility, as well as strength [which is vital to maintain as we age].

All this can be achieved with slow mindful moves and taking our Time.

My classes are 1.5 hours long which gives us Time to explore movements at our own pace.

There is a wealth of Science to back up Slow Yoga and help you answer the question - "Why should I choose Slow Yoga?". See my Blog Post:

Stress sometimes, can be something we simply 'normalise' as we forget what its like to feel calm, peaceful and 'respond' to situations instead of 'react'.
