A space for you to be you – to accept and love yourself – and to move your body! Shine, sweat, feel and move with us – come on, let’s release those endorphins, live in the moment and learn to love our bodies!
Kirstie is a movement facilitator – trained in Pilates, yoga and fitness, and with a background in dance. She brings these different elements together in all her classes. Having grown up with some fairly strict dance training, she loves to throw that out the window and all dancing these days is strictly for fun. “I try not to take it too seriously. Just leave your ego at the door and let yourself truly shine!”
“I’m continuously learning, thinking and rethinking – how the body works, how we move and how we can move better. I find the science of breathing, of movement and bio-mechanics and neuroscience fascinating – but equally I love putting on music and just jumping around – that feeling of anything goes. Breathe fully, move often and move well, break a sweat and have fun with it. Building confidence, self acceptance and self love is at the heart of my classes.”
Kirstie had always dreamt of her own studio – in fact she remembers quite clearly dancing around her dad’s garage in the 1980s and planning how she would one day convert it into a dance studio! The garage is actually a still a garage in Edinburgh but Kirstie has created her own space for movement in the Hebrides – Sandwickhill Studios. It took 3 years to get through planning and to build Sandwickhill Studios – not least because of COVID striking in 2020. The new studio space opened in Autumn 2020.
Having struggled to find spaces to operate from as a freelance teacher in and around Stornoway, Kirstie had a really clear idea of what she wanted – somewhere that doesn’t take itself too seriously but is beautiful, natural, and nurturing – a place to inspire movement, nurture friendships and community, and offer a home from home.
