Kirkcaldy Yoga Festival: week-long programme – this is what is on and where

Studios, community spaces and public venues are coming together this month to host the 2026 Kirkcaldy Yoga Festival, with sessions tailored for beginners, teens, seniors and people managing health conditions.

The celebration of movement, wellbeing and community takes place from June 15-21.

The festival will see yoga delivered across the town, from long established studios to civic spaces and outdoor locations, with more than 25 low cost, or free sessions, designed to welcome beginners, men, teens, seniors and people managing health conditions and specific trades such as hairdressers and manual therapists.

The Adam Smith Theatre is offering a chair yoga session and a yoga class specifically for teenagers, while Volunteers’ Green is the setting for outdoor sessions bringing people together in one of the town’s most recognisable public spaces. Local community halls and organisations are supporting seniors’ yoga, gentle movement classes and inclusive sessions for people new to the activity

At the Kirkcaldy campus at the University of Dundee, on Forth Avenue, there is free yoga for care givers class, open to UoD students and the general public.

And the town’s Central Mosque is collaborating with the Muslim Mother Project for an integrated inclusive Hatha Yoga session with Tina West.

Festival organisers say the involvement of so many venues reflects the town’s growing commitment to accessible wellbeing.

Jo Mitchell, organiser, said: “What makes this festival special is the way Kirkcaldy’s venues have opened their doors to create a truly townwide celebration. Each space brings something different - from heritage settings to modern studios - but they all share the same aim: making yoga welcoming, affordable and accessible for everyone.”

All classes are priced at £5, with concessions at £2.50 and several events are free to attend.

Lauren Berry, yoga teacher and founder of Bhakti Shakti Flow, is leading the event at Volunteers’ Green.

She said: “It is one of Kirkcaldy’s most loved public spaces, and outdoor yoga there brings a real sense of shared community energy. It’s a reminder that wellbeing doesn’t need walls.”

The outdoor yoga practice is on Sunday, June 21, and starts at 8.30am. This session is free but places need to be booked.

Cheryl Stewart from Mind +Body Studio, added: “We believe yoga should meet people exactly where they are, and this festival gives us a chance to welcome new faces. Everyone has ups and downs in their life.

“Stress touches us all. What we can control is how we care for ourselves. Yoga helps you learn steadiness, strength and resilience and Mind + Body Studio is delighted to be part of this year’s Kirkcaldy Yoga Festival.”

The festival also aligns with wider community wellbeing and prevention priorities across Fife, as it offers sessions for complete beginners, seniors and people managing health conditions, Muslim Women, teenagers, plus a men only class, and an inversions class for those looking to deepen their practice.
