Without any consultation or consideration of the people who use the studio for Yoga, Dance, Body Balance and Pilates (all perfectly suited for such a space), Edinburgh Leisure are planning to move it to another, completely unsuitable, part of Portobello Swim Centre. There are a great many people (mainly, but not exclusively women), who are deeply unhappy about the proposed changes for a number of reasons but EL are refusing to listen to us.

Once this space is given over to a gym and fitness room and filled with heavy, noisy machinery and screens (probably at considerable expense as the floors may need to be structurally re-inforced) we will never get it back again. It is irreplaceable in terms of serenity, light, views and ambience; none of which are available elsewhere in the building. 

Will you please show your support for our voices to be heard and sign our petition to save this special space for the classes which need it the most - Yoga, Pilates and other mindful pursuits?

Please sign and share if you think that people, and people's health and wellbeing, should be prioritised over profit.

Thank you in anticipation.
