Fern Ross is an E-RYT 500 specialising in vinyasa, pregnancy and postnatal yoga, teaching in Edinburgh and online.
Her teaching style is grounded, nurturing and joyful, with a love for anatomy that is rooted in finding comfort and ease in your own skin. She has a vested interest in women’s health, pelvic health and active birth.
Fern blends modern movement science with the traditions of yoga to empower her students on their own path of self-enquiry. She is a firm believer that there is a yoga practice for you whatever your season of life, and has seen her own practice take many unexpected (but very welcome!) twists and turns over the past 16 years.
Fern started practising yoga in 2007 while working as a journalist, began teaching in 2015, and has since taught thousands of hours and led multiple workshops and retreats in both the UK and Europe.
Since 2019 she has co-taught on several YTTs, including Eastside Yoga’s 200hr YTT and Alice Gray Yoga’s 200hr YTT. She has also assisted her teacher Jason Crandell on his 300hr YTT in London in 2018.
Fern combines her love of writing with yoga to collaborate with publications and clients including ELLE Magazine, Waitrose Health, Moroccanoil, Verdant Alchemy, Mantra Jewellery and more.
Her corporate clients have included leading fashion PR agency TCS, Hershesons hairdressers, top legal firms, accountants and investors.
Fern has an MA in Geography from Aberdeen University, a PGDip (Distinction, NCTJ-accredited) in Journalism from Strathclyde University, and continues to work as a writer, editor and copywriter. You can read some of here work here and here.
When she’s not teaching yoga or writing Fern and her husband Mark can be found running around after their two young sons, Rudy and Archie, and their black Lab Polly.
