The impressive mansion house, built in 1760 in the style of Robert Adam was gifted to the Royal Burgh of Ayr in 1968. A generous bequest of funds from the late Mrs Mary Maclaurin enabled the conversion of the coach house and stables into an art gallery in 1976 and the ongoing acquisition of a unique collection of contemporary 20th and 21st century art. The Gallery has full disabled access, from a clearly marked parking space right outside the entrance arch, to smooth access to all five galleries, either across the courtyard or through the galleries themselves to the Tearoom and disabled toilet.

Vin to Yin (Andrea)

Like a bit of variety? This is a comprehensive class which brings 4 Yoga types into one for you to leave with no stone unturned. Making our way from Yang through to Yin, we begin our practice with a rhythmic and more energetic Vinyasa flow which slows down mid way, moving through more even paced Hatha asanas and into static, healing, Yin holds. Ending with a Yoga Nidra to wind down for a relaxed evening at home, feeling fully nourished.

Examples of baskets will be displayed for inspiration. All materials will be provided at the class. If your child already has crochet hooks and yarn please feel free to bring them along.

Hatha (Andrea)

A slower paced style which is appropriate for all levels of practitioners, including beginners, to de-stress and find calm. Each pose in Hatha is taken on its own and held for a few breaths, allowing for a more in depth examination of the asana, deeper flexibility and more mindfulness. A good practice for you to learn about your body in each pose, gaining strength and focus, which can be a great stepping stone to a Vinyasa practice.
