Welcome to Caroline Castley Yoga, offering you joyful, communal movement in Comrie, Perthshire.
I teach Embodied Hatha Vinyasa Yoga: flowing sequences followed by longer, heat-building holds. Embodied yoga allows you to experience the feeling of the pose in your body, rather than focusing on the external, textbook shape: presence and awareness over performance. In class, we flow together but in our own way; we find stillness through movement, honouring our changeful bodies, and breathe to feel the pulse of life inside, to move what is stuck.
I offer hands-on assists during class to help you expand to your own edges and find the possibility in each pose; I will guide you with words if you would rather be in your own space. I aim to be a 'guide at your side'; to that end, I often move around the room cueing without demonstration, especially during well-known sequences. I play music to energise, encourage focus and prepare for rest.
You will leave class feeling changed: more expansive, connected and unstuck.
Energising flow for strength, flexibility and joy. Challenges are balanced with moments of rest; we strengthen then we soften. Each class begins with a breathing exercise and a lingering warm-up before we flow. Intermediate level — some yoga experience preferable.
Book NowSlow flow, perfect after a day's work. Slow sequences, deep stretches and long holds help you to melt into the evening. Suitable for all, though some yoga experience is preferable.
Book NowBeginners' Yoga for mobility, strength and balance. A mixture of chair and mat movement, suitable for those new to yoga or returning after a long time away from the mat.
Book NowI first met yoga at 18, when I chose it as a Games Option in Sixth Form during exam season. I remember the deep peace I felt on the mat and the feeling afterwards of being both physically and metaphorically taller. Over the decades that followed, I returned again and again to the practice as an unrivalled way of changing my relationship with body and mind; magically, each time the right teacher appeared just when they were needed.
Teaching is my vocation — from helping teenaged friends with exam revision, to 18 years as a chemistry teacher in secondary schools — I have always thrived on using the right words at the right time to lead others through a theory or activity. I started the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Course in March 2025 to deepen my own practice and knowledge of the ancient discipline, emerging six months later eager to share the practice with others. I have taught weekly classes since September 2025 and completed a 12-hour Hands-on Assists Course in May 2026.
I love the balanced language of yoga: effort and ease, root to rise, inhale then exhale, stretch then soften. We are contrary beings, so perhaps these opposites speak to all of us.
Yoga makes me feel strong, spacious, connected and alive; it reminds me that change is not only possible, but inevitable, and helps me to see myself and others more clearly. I see it as a communal activity — a vital antidote to our increasingly isolated lives.
I am so grateful to be on this path and excited to share its boundless teachings with others.
Occasionally I take the movement beyond Comrie or out in nature. Check the calendar for details of upcoming events.

“We shall not cease from exploration
— T. S. Eliot, Little Gidding, Four Quartets (1943)
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.”
