"After going through a turbulent time following 4 bereavements in 4 months I knew I needed some priority time for self care & support for myself to get through & recover. I booked a one to one yoga session immediately followed by a one to one sound healing. I felt all the tension & strain finally start to drain away & felt the most relaxed in weeks. I continue with the regular kundalini yoga practice & will ensure to add in a sound healing too for support, pamper, thrive & revive from modern daily life!" Aileen
“Yesterday’s session was really good, by the way – my mood was completely transformed and i went away feeling whole again! The gong is so much more than sound, it is a whole body experience of resonance, the like of which i have never felt before. The power the all consuming waves clears the mind and heart. it washes you clean of the everyday stress and gives you a vivid and visceral connection with the universe for just those few moments. And that’s coming from a devout skeptic! I love my Friday yoga and it has completely changes my weekends with the family. I now have the energy and a new joy of life to enable me to get out and do not stay in and slob! After a session I just know life is good and that I DO have the strength to make it so for me and my family – all thanks to Jo and her work! It’s not just the yoga, it is the trust we have in Jo as a person and a practitioner that enables us to let go and to allow the Kundalini to flow.” Ruth Colston
“Jo brings a different perspective to yoga through her kundalini approach. I left the taster session feeling subtle in body and peaceful in mind. As enjoyable as a good massage.” Diana Murray
“I had the good fortune of attending one of Jo Coley’s kundalini yoga classes in North Berwick in September. If I lived closer I would most definitely attend regularly. The class encompassed everything I needed to gain a wonderful nights sleep. I highly recommend this class!!” Jill
“I have been taking taster classes with Jo for a few weeks now and I have never felt so energised, well and happy. Those who know me recognize that I’m on the skeptic side of the fence, but her relaxed and supportive teaching has shown me a stile over my barriers to to self love and learning. Thanks Jo # # #” Ruth Colston
“Jo is a gong warrior princess bringing truth to the people through the power of the naad.” Carole Monnier Clark
“The health benefits since starting Kundalini yoga with Jo have been amazing. Jo creates a calm, safe and welcoming space to practise in which encourages me to return and improve week on week. Kundalini yoga was a new form of yoga for me and the teaching and guidance from Jo has not only promoted healing but also increased my personal confidence and motivation. Most notably I have found big improvements in relaxation, control and coordination and improved flexibility which have all helped so much with managing pain I have from significant back and joint issues. Thank you Jo.” Catherine Cooke

I’m a bit overwhelmed reflecting on this first weekend training in Sat Nam Rasayan Healing modality by the wonderful, serene Margaret Comerford (Har Kirat).
I had decided some years ago to get trained in Sat Nam Rasayan at some point and at the Scottish Kundalini Yoga Festival Har Kirat introduced many of us to this wonderful modality as a first experience and it was for many a highlight of the 2025 festival.
I have always been inspired by the presence of those that practice this modality - an obvious deep serene peace that they hold and gently express.
So I duly booked on but didn’t give it more thought till I got there.
Having a strong meditation practice I have been stunned this weekend how deep this can go and how powerful it is - very excited about what is to come and the creative ways it can be used for healing across life.
*Mini photoshoot with Siri Akal and Ana to demo (as if that’s possible!) what it looks like!
Wonderful conversations, connections and community.
Looking forward to the next one.

🌝This morning’s full moon at 4.30am before meditation was stunning and it supported such a beautiful meditation set by Satyavrati from that we were sharing in the Kundalini Lotus Community (free community daily meditation and yoga).
Feeling into what to release, let go of, shift around to make more space today.
Personally choosing to step into more simplicity, ease and grace by trusting my intuition more and being more in presence rather than preparation and logic. Letting the magic unfold naturally!
Tomorrow we are still close enough to be in the energy of today’s powerful full moon to get some enhanced gong release.
Fletcher’s Cottage Spa is THE best place on a cold, dark autumn evening. Nourishing spa heat, oils, cacao and sensory sound to take you away.
One of my yogis recently described the Fletcher’s evenings as ‘one of her favourite things to do’ and I have to say it’s one of mine too.
I’ve looked after this space so many times now and every time is different and beautiful in a different way. Always feel that those that come are meant to be there🙏.

🌟This workshop has been a wee dream of mine for a long time. I was sitting on Uisken beach on Mull - one of my family’s favourite places - looking out to what we call Half Tide Island and this idea came to me.
I actually created the first session of it just before lockdown in North Berwick and it was uplifting and powerful.
I have been intending to come back to it and the time feels right to offer this type of event again.
Certainly there are a lot of people wobbling right now and bringing intuition to the fore is I feel is a mastery that is essential for staying resilient in these times.
So what will the event be like? Expect to:
Gather in sacred community for deep self-exploration and connection.
Flow with gentle kundalini yoga to awaken inner wisdom.
Journey inward through meditation, journaling & soulful discussion.
Immerse in the healing resonance of a relaxing gong bath.
Nourish body & spirit with tea, snacks, and heartfelt conversation (if you wish).
An open invitation for spiritually curious souls.

Jo McCoy (m. Coley) – Kundalini Yoga Instructor, Gong Enthusiast and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Therapist
Kundalini yoga has profoundly impacted my life and having practiced yoga for my whole adult life, I feel it is the most effective form, enhancing life on all levels! I am a Level 1 qualified KRI (Kundalini Research Institute) Kundalini Yoga Instructor, trained through Sahej Academy, keeping true to Yogi Bahjan’s teachings. I am a member of the Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association (KYTA).
I have been taught by Methab Benton to play the gong to enhance the effectiveness of Kundalini Yoga, ‘to take you further’ and also in its use as a deep relaxation tool and undertaken further training in deepening my experience of working with the gong. I host regular gong relaxation sessions, known as ‘gong baths’ both as regular public sessions and privately. These create a space for very deep relaxation, healing (emotional and physical) and letting go of what doesn’t serve you. I often combine the gong relaxations with Yoga Nidra. Giving yourself this treat is self nurturing of a deep kind. Seeing people who care about each other in a lovely space together after the gong is really heartening as it promotes deep communication.
I live with my family in North Berwick and enjoy teaching yoga and working with the gong as well as giving one-to-one EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) therapy which continually surprises me in how effective it is in removing/shifting fears, phobias and pain. It is particularly amazing for blasting through blocks (often showing up in life as repetitively difficult patterns).
“I’d never done a Gong bath before… but so glad I have now. Without question one of the most intense and enjoyable things I have tried in years. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to hold my relaxed state or even meditate for long but I drifted away and in what felt like minutes later it was all coming to an end. The power of the gong is awesome and I would urge anyone to try it, invigorating, life affirming and not the least bit hippy.” Iain
“Yesterday’s session was really good, by the way – my mood was completely transformed and I went away feeling whole again!
The gong is so much more than sound, it is a whole body experience of resonance, the like of which i have never felt before. The power the all consuming waves clears the mind and heart. it washes you clean of the everyday stress and gives you a vivid and visceral connection with the universe for just those few moments. And that’s coming from a devout skeptic!” Ruth Colston
“The most still I’ve been.” Euan (on Gong Yoga Nidra @TribePorty)
“Jo's Gong sessions are such an amazing Friday night treat, letting you rid yourself of all the worries of the week, preparing you for the weekend ahead with deep, sound-induced relaxation. The gong is so powerful, it moves every little cell in your body, making you vibrate and shed all negativity. The Yoga Nidra is a fabulous way to check in with your body, grounding you, releasing your muscles' tensions, and setting you up for a restful, rejuvenating sleep after the experience, making you feel whole, complete and happy. I will come back!” Anna Wood, WanderWomen
“I love my Friday yoga and it has completely changes my weekends with the family. I now have the energy and a new joy of life to enable me to get out and do not stay in and slob! After a session I just know life is good and that I DO have the strength to make it so for me and my family – all thanks to Jo and her work!

“I have been taking taster classes with Jo for a few weeks now and I have never felt so energised, well and happy. Those who know me recognize that I’m on the skeptic side of the fence, but her relaxed and supportive teaching has shown me a stile over my barriers to to self love and learning. Thanks Jo ###.” Ruth Colston

Most notably I have found big improvements in relaxation, control and coordination and improved flexibility which have all helped so much with managing pain I have from significant back and joint issues.
Thank you Jo.” Catherine Cooke
“Working with Jo through EFT has been a truly transformative experience. From the moment the session begins you can feel her compassion and deep understanding of the technique. I was able to uncover and release deep emotions related to experiences that were veiled from my mind. The work we did together has allowed me to progress on my journey towards self awareness and greater well being”. Carol Monnier
"I tried EFT to deal with limiting self beliefs that had been holding me back in my life and to help increase my self confidence.
Jo made me feel totally supported and adopted a very kind and compassionate approach.
The shift in mindset via EFT was remarkable. After each session I felt a major shift in mindset and a drastic difference in my self confidence. I came away feeling emotionally lighter and knew that a major emotional shift had been made.
I would highly recommend EFT for anyone with emotions they feel they would like to move past. I am so grateful to have met Jo and to have been introduced to EFT. Thank you so much!" Jayne Graham
“I attended for EFT sessions with Jo. I was amazed with how quickly and how precisely we manage to gain results. EFT with two is life changing and can quickly heal and integrate huge blocksfrom the past and you still carry with you. Well that is my experience and I would highly recommend it”. Sally Harris
