Hi, I’m Kelsey. I’ve been teaching yoga for over ten years, blending yoga flow, Hatha, functional strength, breathwork, and deep relaxation to help people at all stages improve their mental and physical wellbeing.

Recently, qualifying in mat Pilates pushed me to grow even further as a teacher—deepening my anatomy knowledge and shaping a broader approach to movement.

All of my teaching is underpinned by a passion for accessibility, which I found as an English teacher. Now teaching movement, I love collaborating with students to discover options that foster ease and confidence in their bodies.

Where you can find me this autumn 🍂

Group Classes: I teach a range of group classes at The Johnston in Kirkcudbright, plus member Pilates at Tribe KBT on Tuesdays & Thursdays. (My full autumn timetable is pinned to the top of my page.)

The Courtyard Room: A new dedicated wellness space in the Old Court House, where I offer high support sessions:

🌿 Bespoke 1:1 Sessions – Tailored Pilates, yoga, and mobility guided entirely by your goals.

🌿 Small Group Sessions – Targeted support in a cosy, quiet setting.

🌿 Private Retreat Sessions – Unwind with custom sessions for small groups up to 5 people.

🌿 Deep Guided Relaxation – Restorative sessions paired with bespoke essential oil blends.

✨ I’m also putting together a 6-week Adaptive Movement Small Group in The Courtyard Room. You’ll get personalised assists and movement advice tailored to your specific goals at a lower cost, alongside a supportive group.

I’d love to welcome you to a session. Drop me a DM or send a message via my website at kelseyansbro.com to chat about what support feels right for you.

Also, I’m Midwestern born and bred.🌽🫶 Scotland has been home for nearly 15 years — first in the Highlands and now Dumfries & Galloway. When I’m not teaching or running after my kids, you’ll usually find me with a book or journal in hand.

✨ The Big Reveal ✨

The Courtyard Room in the old Court House is now available for 1:1 and small group movement sessions.

I can’t wait to get started in this beautiful space. It has plenty of room for us to create a movement practice that suits your needs.

This will be home to 1:1 and small group sessions that provide space and time for us to hone in on your needs and goals. It could be the next step on your path towards healing and growth.

Interested? Message me and we’ll chat.

Huge shoutout to Annirose Ansbro for her vision and artistry in this stunning space ❤️

Things are changing. I’ve been changing.✨

It has been quiet here over the past few months while I have been learning, growing and healing.

Social media is increasingly a place where uncertainty and the messiness of real life and transformation is not accepted. So it has been tricky to know what to share.

I can’t make my life fit an aesthetic and I am no longer interested in trying.

But I can share some of the thoughts that have been surfacing repeatedly over the past few months.

This is what I know.

More updates coming soon. In the meantime, I’m sending you love. 💚

The feedback Rachel and I hear the most about these retreat mornings is, “I didn’t realise how much I needed that.”

We already know you are doing your best. Showing up to your commitments and responsibilities with whatever you have to offer that day.

We know you are caring with your whole heart and looking after yourself in the ways you know how.

Our role is to remind you that rest doesn’t have to be earned. That you need to refill your tank BEFORE it’s empty.

And it’s also our job to remind you that rest takes many forms. Sometimes it’s a nap. Sometimes it’s connection. Sometimes you need a sensory reset with people who get it.

That is why we offer these retreats. Because we both landed in our chosen disciplines after years of searching for practices to support our sensitive systems in a noisy world.

If this resonates, there is one spot remaining for our morning retreat next Sunday, 14 June. It includes:

- An hour of slow flow yoga with options to suit your body and energy
- A mini essential oils workshop using
- A pot of personalised ointment to take home, plus other goodies
- A guided sound journey to soothe your senses
- A nourishing snack and hot drink
