Rejuvenate with Yoga. Reiki. NLP Coaching.
Wellbeing Retreats. Giving back.
Lindsey ~ Asha Jyoti (Light of Hope), based in Scotland
Namaste. Yoga~Nu~U is about embracing & accepting who you are
- on and off the mat and in the community.
Exploring boundaries and finding new edges. Making yoga accessible and keeping it real.
From a successful 20 year career in Financial Services working across the UK and overseas I'm now sharing Yoga, Reiki, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) coaching and other life insights I've picked up on the way. Through my Yoga Classes, Wellbeing Retreats and yoga inspired projects in support of giving back.
My RYS200 yoga training explored Akhanda Hatha yoga in India. Reiki discovered me in Bolivia and NLP grew on me in Scotland. In 2016 I added 'Curvy Yoga' teacher training - making yoga more accessible to all body shapes and sizes. Come and connect with your inner wisdom and find you too.

A bit more about me..
Come and connect with your inner wisdom through yoga
Throughout a busy successful career as a Project & Programme Manager spanning 20 years working for various Banks in the Financial Services sector, in the UK and overseas, I mindfully kept my yoga practice going to help keep a balance in my life and to keep me sane. In 2006, I grabbed an opportunity between jobs to spend time in Rishikesh, India to deepen my understanding of yoga and certified as an RYS Akhanda Hatha Yoga Teacher, with Yogi Vishvketu of Akhanda Yoga. It was here 'Asha Jyoti', my yogic name was given to me which translates to ‘Light of Hope.’ Reiki found me whilst living and travelling in South America and I completed my Reiki I initiation in La Paz, Bolivia in 2000, Reiki II initiations in Chester, England in 2003 and Reiki III & Reiki Master in Llandudno, Wales in 2007. I've been loving and learning NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) coaching and communicating techniques since 2009 and qualified as an INLPTA NLP Practitioner in 2015. I'm also a Holistic Therapist trained in Hopi Ear Candles and Indian Head Massage Treatments.
In 2015 I took a bold step forward in a new direction and now dedicate my time to running several group and individual Yoga~Nu~U yoga sessions a week across Falkirk and Linlithgow and hosting/co-hosting Yoga and Wellbeing Retreats in Scotland and overseas. I enjoy being a mum to two boisterous boys and actively supporting two voluntary organisations; as a Trustee Board Director for CVS Falkirk and Special Projects Manager for Smart Works Edinburgh. More recently I'm branching out into the area of writing and publishing articles around the topic of wellbeing. And in my 'spare' time... I aim to rekindle my passion for rock climbing (indoors & out), I'm writing a biography of travel tales spanning my 20s and 30s (it's a long term project), I tap dance and whatever else comes my way to have a go at!
How would I describe my style of Yoga teaching?
Whilst my teaching training follows the Akhanda Hatha style of yoga, I like to incorporate elements from other styles. Typically in one of my yoga classes, I will guide you though a combination of postures (asanas) breathing exercises (pranayama) and relaxation/internal focus techniques as well as incorporating aspects of NLP into the classes. Yoga is a non-competitive activity which exercises the mind, body and improves breathing. It promotes balance, core stability, strength and flexibility, alongside encouraging us to make space to absorb the benefits of our practice. All this can help to re-energise and rejuvenate ourselves. My teaching is suitable for the complete beginner up to intermediate level. My personal yoga journey has had its ups and downs and continues to help me explore the boundaries of my ego, in particular refinding my physical practice after huge weight gain, two c-sections in my mid to late 30s and ongoing lower back challenges. However, here's the thing: "My yoga. It doesn’t matter if things aren’t perfect. My practice is my time to feel alive, loved and free...Yoga is not about mastering the postures. It's about using your practice to understand and transform yourself'.
I'd sum up my yoga style of teaching as: fluid, fun and aimed towards improving your flexibility.
But don't take it from me, come and find out for yourself or read what others think/have fedback on the Testimonials tab!

Ustrasana / Camel
|
What Yoga pose would I most liken to myself to and why? At this point in my life it would have to be the Camel pose/Ustrasana. Why? Because I feel the pose is a continual movement exploring flexibility in any particular moment and at the same time requires an open chest and heart to keep true to the asana/pose. Like a camel I am traversing lifes humps and bumps, exploring my vulnerabilities and embracing the yogic path. Hari Om! |
