Outdoor yoga classes in Dawson Park

I am a yoga and Pilates teacher who runs numerous classes, also teachingvarious free classes for organisations who can pay me to do so due to funding. Unfortunately, for some of these classes funding was no longer available from autumn 2023, meaning that several tuition sessions that ran regularly for years had to stop. One of these was the yoga session at Dawson Park, Duntrune Community Gardens, Mondays, 1.30-2.15pm. I secured a grant from Dundee City Council’s Common Good Fund to continue teaching throughout November untilthe end of January then was lucky enough to secure a further CRF grant enabling me to continue with classes until March 2024. These are well attended sessions that offer free tuition to those in the area, with no need to book or commit to anything other than showing up on the day. They are usually held outdoors. If the weather is bad, the Chrysalis project at Duntrune, run by SAMH, allow us to use their activities room.
