OUR STORY: BUILDING SPACES made for your whole being
The idea for The Holistic Warehouse began 15 years ago while travelling. Yoga was my first love, and I practised it for five years in Australia before deciding to become a teacher. Training in an ashram in Rishikesh, India, changed my life. I felt more centred and connected to my body than I did when living in the city. At that moment, surrounded by the Himalayan foothills and the River Ganges, I realised that I wanted to share this feeling with others.
Five or six years later, while living in Melbourne, I discovered my love for Pilates, and inspired by my daily practice, I trained in studios across Australia, the USA and Bali. Places that were calm, caring and community-focused spoke to me. But I never found a single studio that integrated all these qualities, and this inspired me to create that space at home in Glasgow.
Our first studio in Clydebank opened while I was seven months pregnant and completing a degree in Psychology with Counselling. It was an intense and challenging time, but I was determined to bring this vision to life. I wanted to create a space where practice went beyond physical strength. A space imbued with calmness, care, community and confidence. A space made for your whole being.
What I am most proud of today is the community we are building. When you’re in the warehouses, you can feel the shift in your mind and body. People not only come to work out, but to slow down and reconnect with themselves and others.
At The Holistic Warehouse, we are always looking for ways to deepen what we already do well. Alongside my teaching experience, I draw on my psychology background, taking a data-informed approach to creating a holistic culture and client experience, shaping every detail with care and consideration.
My driving belief is that care, calmness and community make real change possible. Building our community's confidence is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why, at The Holistic Warehouse, our Pilates and fitness studios are made for your whole being. They offer a range of exercises for your wellbeing journey, all in sanctuary-like spaces: Reformer Pilates, Hot Mat Pilates, Yoga, Hot Yoga, Hot Sculpt and Spin.
