Yoga with Iona at Birnam Arts

Yoga with Iona

Vinyasa flow yoga allows you to move in and out of postures guided by the breath through flowing sequences. During the class we will move from pose to pose, working through a serious of forward bends, twists, backbends and inversions.

Classes will vary week on week with different postures and sequences each week, allowing you to build strength as well as flexibility and mobility. I hope that my students experience the benefits that this practice gives to me.

Join Iona on a Tuesday at 7.30pm for Vinyasa flow yoga. This class is suitable for anyone with a basic understanding of yoga. If you are a beginner, or you want to find out more, please get in touch before booking.

Book via her website, Yoga with Iona

Each workshop is a free-standing event, so there iswith no pressure to commit to regular attendance, and it popular with those commitments prevent them from participating in a community band or orchestra.

"The Field " Dunkeld at Birnam Arts

"The Field " Dunkeld

The Field in Dunkeld is a place to grow vegetables by the community, for the community, and lies a short walk from the centre of Dunkeld.

As a community, we grow our produce on a large scale rather than small allotments, allowing us to produce enough throughout the growing season and beyond for our two weekly market stalls, including Tuesday mornings outside Birnam Arts.

Importantly, we grow our vegetables according to organic principles, with no insecticides or artificial fertiliser, and all our seeds are organically sourced. 

Annual membership runs from 1st February, supporting the ongoing costs and providing a 20% discount on produce.

This is a lovely light and welcoming building with a cafe and library during the day and some really excellent concerts and shows of all genres mostly in the evening. It's an intimate space but with capacity for several hundred people and tends to be competitively priced. It relies on volunteer support and is an excellent community hub.

Join our team
of volunteers

From the Box Office to the Gift Shop and Beatrix Potter exhibition, our wonderful team of more than 50 incredible volunteers work with us to welcome the public to our beautiful building, helping at events, sell tickets, artworks, and beautiful gift items. 

From time to time we need to boost the group of volunteers, and now is such a time. We are working towards expanding our hours from five days a week to seven days a week, or to help us promote the great shows available, and therefore are looking for a few more good people.

'I like helping at Birnam Arts as it is such a great asset to the community and all the permanent staff are really friendly.'
- Tina, Shop & Beatrix Potter Exhibition Volunteer.
