Hello and welcome!
I’m Stephanie Crew and I am the creator of Love Yoga Crew. My background is in education and contemporary dance, I have more than 35 years of experience of being a movement specialist.
Like so many people I found yoga at exactly the right time in my life, right next to the ocean in Tenerife. For me, finding that fluid connection between being strong & dynamic and being able to balance it with releasing, relaxing and letting go was transformative. I took group and private classes daily and my knowledge and practice deepened immensely. Very quickly I realised that I longed to share this incredible experience with others and began my yoga teacher training journey in Portugal, where I taught in spas, retreats and beach classes. After returning to Scotland I began teaching Vinyasa, Ashtanga and Yin in numerous studios until the pandemic and then my online community began! I undertook further Yin teacher training and again the timing couldn’t have been better. It became clear very quickly that we were all far too accustomed to rushing around and being super busy and the stillness and lack of urgency in lockdown was a challenge! Delving further into Yin balanced this busyness and took us closer to that peaceful place.
Beginning in person classes again I taught Absolute Beginners courses in Strathaven as well as Yin, specialist workshops and day retreats.
I studied Pregnancy and Post natal yoga and developed Wee Yogis, fun and lively family yoga sessions. Our Zen Mums community is growing and I couldn't love these classes any more than I do!
September 2024 saw the relaunch of a bigger and better Love Yoga Crew @home, an online membership with live Zoom classes and a library of classes, yoga for lunch and yoga snacks. (short classes) It's a very exciting time and I'm filled with joy and enthusiasm for how we can all feel more at home in ourselves. Whether you are pregnant, just had your baby, have a young family, join me in person or online for dynamic or calming classes, we will all share the magic of the mat.
My heart is full of gratitude!

“Absolutely loving the mum and baby class. It’s great to be able to do something that’s about me as much as baby – being able to do a bit of yoga even though I’ve got my baby with me has been brilliant. And it’s a great way to connect with him too. My 4 yo adores the Wee Yogis class on a Sunday morning too – it’s a lovely way to spend some quality relaxing time with her ❤️”

Stephanie is so friendly, calm, professional and her lessons are fabulous. Yoga basics is just right for people such as me who are new to yoga or return after a long break. Yoga for anxiety and stress which takes place on Sunday evenings is incredibly relaxing and a great way to finish the weekend and get ready for a busy work week.
Sunday has become my favourite day of the week, and I would recommend Love Yoga Crew to everybody who is thinking about giving yoga a try or would like to come back to it.”

“I absolutely love Stephanie’s classes! No matter what stage of your yoga journey you are on she makes you feel very welcome and always provides modifications in order for you to get the most out of your practice. She provides clear instructions throughout and you always come away feeling 10ft taller. Highly recommend! 5*”
