She would often begin the day by guiding staff and children through a short yoga practice and her commitment to furthering her yoga training and teaching stemmed from this time. Yonnie completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training in a small yoga studio in Jaipur and has since gone on to train in yoga mudra\, family yoga\, yoga and autism and chair yoga. Her yoga teaching is rooted in inclusivity and (being older herself) she loves working with seniors as well as all the other ages!

Ellen Ripley (portrayed by Sigourney Weaver) from the Alien sci-fi film franchise\, is frequently celebrated for being a groundbreaking female protagonist in a male-dominated action genre.\nEllen Ripley’s resilience\, resourcefulness\, and strength in survival\, made her an icon\, challenging traditional gender roles in cinema and paving the way for more strong female leads.\nAs Aliens celebrates its 40th anniversary\, and in the evening before International Women’s Day\, join us for a screening of this legendary classic.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nAliens is the sequel to the 1979 science fiction horror film Alien\, and the second film in the Alien franchise. Set in the far future\, it stars Sigourney Weaver as Lt. Ellen Ripley\, the sole survivor of an alien attack on her ship. When communications are lost with a human colony on the moon where her crew first encountered the alien creatures\, Ripley agrees to return to the site with a unit of marines to investigate. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n View trailer on YouTube \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nRefreshments\n\n\n\nTea\, coffee and squash will be available\, along with sweet and salty popcorn. Small cash donations towards these are welcome but not required.\nYou can also bring your own soft drinks or snacks\, however no alcohol is permitted.

One scene features a creature bursting from a woman’s abdomen in a bloody manner\, and another in which a creature attack results in blood splashing onto the windows of a spacecraft. As the creatures are blasted with gunfire they explode apart\, but the injury detail is unrealistic and shown as showers of white liquid. Similarly fantastical injury is contained in a scene when an android is torn in half by a creature’s claw.\nLanguage: The film contains strong language (‘f**k’\, ‘motherf**ker’). \nSee BBFC Content Advice here.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Tickets \n \n \n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n Upcoming Events \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 9:30 am - 12:00 pm \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n The Piping Center \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 10:00 am - 11:00 am \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n The Piping Center \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 10:00 am - 12:00 pm \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n The Piping Center \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 10:00 am - 5:00 pm \n \n \n \n Calis Harun – Mosaic Workshop \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 27 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 9:00 am - 2:45 pm \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n Edinburgh College \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n View Calendar URL:https://duncanplace.org/event/community-cinema-aliens/ LOCATION:Duncan Place Community Hub\, Duncan Place\, Leith\, Edinburgh\, Edinburgh\, EH6 8HW\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://duncanplace.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/10-25-Local-cinema-winter-spring-2526-1200-x-495-px.png ORGANIZER;CN="Duncan Place Events":MAILTO:events@duncanplace.org GEO:55.9699976;-3.1683591 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Duncan Place Community Hub Duncan Place Leith Edinburgh Edinburgh EH6 8HW United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Duncan Place:geo:-3.1683591,55.9699976 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260306T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260306T170000 DTSTAMP:20260425T042347 CREATED:20251209T163219Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260420T100722Z UID:10005243-1772809200-1772816400@duncanplace.org SUMMARY:Dungeons and Dragons DESCRIPTION:D&D at Duncan Place.\n\n\nOur D&D group for S2-S6 aged folks (max age 17) returns next month.

We’re expecting that number to grow in the next block and can accommodate a maximum of 20 people. \nFor anyone joining the group\, we just need:\nTheir name\, plus an emergency contact name and email/telephone number.\nWe also check in to see if anyone has any food allergies/dietary requirements in case we’re ever able to offer snacks. \nWhat to expect:\nSplit into groups of around five\, players will create their own adventurer and be guided through a fantasy world\, fighting monsters and maybe saving the day! Each group will also include one Game Master who will control the monsters\, townspeople\, and cute (or not-so-cute) animals of the world. D&D is easier to do than to explain\, though\, and this will be a perfect place for both new and experienced players to come together and play D&D. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nFridays 12th Sept – 21st Nov\n(except during October break)\n3 pm – 5 pm\n£2\, please book\nAges S2-S6 \nContact events@duncanplace.org if you have any questions.

Please contact events@duncanplace.org to join us. Spaces are filled on a first-come\, first-served basis.\n\nThis is a chair-modified yoga class which is suitable for all ages. This class gives chair-based variations on the classic poses – you will find your mountain and warrior poses here! \nWhilst the focus is about maintaining strength and flexibility it’s still a very relaxing class. This hour long chair yoga class will include yoga poses\, gentle yoga flows and stretching sequences\, pranayama (breathing practices)\, some meditation and of course relaxation. \n**Please arrive five minutes beforehand so classes can start on time.** \n\n\n\n\n \nClasses led by Yoga Teacher Yonnie Fraser\n\n\n\nYonnie has worked with children and young people in creative projects all over Scotland for the last 25 years. She would often begin the day by guiding staff and children through a short yoga practice and her commitment to furthering her yoga training and teaching stemmed from this time. Yonnie completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training in a small yoga studio in Jaipur and has since gone on to train in yoga mudra\, family yoga\, yoga and autism and chair yoga. Her yoga teaching is rooted in inclusivity and (being older herself) she loves working with seniors as well as all the other ages! She has recently completed an advanced yoga teacher training in psychologically-sensitive Yoga. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\nA Duncan Place Event\n\n \n\nAdd your name to the waiting listevents@duncanplace.org \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n Upcoming Events \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 9:30 am - 12:00 pm \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n The Piping Center \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 10:00 am - 11:00 am \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n The Piping Center \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 10:00 am - 12:00 pm \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n The Piping Center \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 10:00 am - 5:00 pm \n \n \n \n Calis Harun – Mosaic Workshop \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 27 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 9:00 am - 2:45 pm \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n Edinburgh College \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n View Calendar URL:https://duncanplace.org/event/chair-yoga-thursdays-3/2026-03-05/ LOCATION:Duncan Place Community Hub\, Duncan Place\, Leith\, Edinburgh\, Edinburgh\, EH6 8HW\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://duncanplace.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/11.png ORGANIZER;CN="Duncan Place Events":MAILTO:events@duncanplace.org GEO:55.9699976;-3.1683591 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Duncan Place Community Hub Duncan Place Leith Edinburgh Edinburgh EH6 8HW United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Duncan Place:geo:-3.1683591,55.9699976 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260305T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260305T120000 DTSTAMP:20260425T042347 CREATED:20250403T110631Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260312T140729Z UID:10005121-1772708400-1772712000@duncanplace.org SUMMARY:Laughter for Health and Happiness - Big Duncan Room DESCRIPTION:Important Information – Please Read\n\n\n\nThese classes are held weekly each Thursday. \nOur Laughter for Health and Happiness class is currently full and unable to welcome new members at the moment.

Laughter for Jo became a daily tool to manage mood\, reduce pain\, build resilience and boost health and happiness which she then wanted to share with others. \nJo ran Edinburgh Laughter Club for 10 years totally voluntarily to become one of the most successful laughter clubs in the UK (the first club to run weekly sessions and the first to secure funding from the NHS). Together with her regular members\, they raised over £25K for local charities – doing good and feeling good! \n\n\n\n\n\n \nImportant Information\n\n\n\nPayments – Please Read\nPayments for these classes can be made here on Eventbrite\, however\, please be advised that Eventbrite add their own non-refundable fee to the ticket price which they collect. Alternatively\, you can email us at events@duncanplace.org and we can send you a payment link without an additional fee. After your first class\, payments can be made in person each week at Duncan Place via card or cash. \nChoosing Your Payment Amount – Please Read\n£6 = Our Standard Class Fee is for people who have a steady income (from any source) and are able to occasionally attend paid events or classes. \nAlternative options\n£4 = The Reduced Class Fee is an alternative option for people who have an unsteady or low income\, are not often able to attend paid events or classes\, and would really struggle to pay the standard class cost of £6. \n£8 = Class Fee + is an alternative option for people who have more disposable income and are able to regularly attend paid events or classes. This option also helps us sustain the reduced priced option. \nWith these three options\, it is also completely OK to pick different payment options at each class. You get to choose exactly what you pay according to what you can genuinely afford. We only ask that you do a little bit of self-reflection before choosing your price point. You may find yourself somewhere between price points and that is fine. You get to choose which price point fits most comfortably at any given time. \nParticipant Information\nPlease arrive five or ten minutes before the class starts – latecomers may not be admitted. \nPlease wear comfortable clothing allowing movement – light layers are best as we can warm up and cool down quickly between different stages of the class. \nPart of the session includes laughter meditation where you have the option of lying down (or you can be seated in a chair). If you have a favourite yoga mat or blanket you’d like to bring along\, please do\, however we also have a limited supply of them here that you can use on the day. \nThese Laughter For Health & Happiness classes are totally inclusive and welcome everyone of all fitness levels and mobility; wheelchair users are welcome (as are Carers and Support Workers for those who need physical assistance) and people who find it difficult to stand or cope with moving around can do the whole class seated. \nThese classes will include elements of Laughter Yoga which is an aerobic exercise that may not be suitable for people suffering from uncontrolled blood pressure\, heart disease\, epilepsy\, any kind of hernia\, severe back pain\, abdominal surgery within the last 3 months and major psychiatric conditions. If these conditions do not apply but during the class you experience pain\, discomfort or breathlessness then take a break – have a seat and take some time out to rest – and perhaps then continue with restraint or more gently. If you have any doubt about continuing then simply stop. If you are unsure as to whether you should participate – please consult your GP before attending. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n Upcoming Events \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 9:30 am - 12:00 pm \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n The Piping Center \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 10:00 am - 11:00 am \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n The Piping Center \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 10:00 am - 12:00 pm \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n The Piping Center \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 10:00 am - 5:00 pm \n \n \n \n Calis Harun – Mosaic Workshop \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 27 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 9:00 am - 2:45 pm \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n Edinburgh College \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n View Calendar URL:https://duncanplace.org/event/laughter-for-health-and-happiness-big-duncan-room-8/2026-03-05/ LOCATION:Duncan Place Community Hub\, Duncan Place\, Leith\, Edinburgh\, Edinburgh\, EH6 8HW\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://duncanplace.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/4.png ORGANIZER;CN="Duncan Place Events":MAILTO:events@duncanplace.org GEO:55.9699976;-3.1683591 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Duncan Place Community Hub Duncan Place Leith Edinburgh Edinburgh EH6 8HW United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Duncan Place:geo:-3.1683591,55.9699976 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260303T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260303T204500 DTSTAMP:20260425T042347 CREATED:20251201T134553Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251205T124821Z UID:10005038-1772564400-1772570700@duncanplace.org SUMMARY:Duncan Place Community Choir DESCRIPTION:Our 8-week choir block runs from Tuesday 3rd February until Tuesday 31st March (no session on Tuesday 17th February). The block costs £40 which is to be paid in advance.\nSpaces are limited\, so please do email us on events@duncanplace.org and we can let you know if there’s space to join.\nWe’re aiming to start our next choir block on Tue 21st April. Please get in touch to express your interest if you’d be keen to join then. \n\nImportant information:\nWe’re having a couple of trial sessions for people who would be available to join this 8-week block on Tuesday 20th and Tuesday 27th January. These two sessions only\, will be £5 pay-as-you-go session. Again\, spaces are limited\, so please do get in touch. \nAs we take a rest over Christmas and New Year\, our events email won’t be monitored from Fri 19th December until Tuesday 6th January. If you’re getting in touch during this time\, we’ll get back to you once we return. Thanks. \n\nWhat to expect\nDuncan Place Community Choir (DPCC) started in October 2023. In early 2023 we reached out to community members to discover what they wanted from a community events programme. Top of the list was a community choir\, and after an initial planning meeting with interested community members in July 2023\, our choir first sang together a couple of months later. \n We welcome all singers over the age of 18 whether you’re a complete beginner or seasoned singer. There are no auditions\, and everything is learned by ear\, you do not need to read music. We sing acapella enjoying a range of material from folk\, pop\, gospel\, and traditional songs in other languages. Songs that celebrate community\, nature\, and humanity feature highly in the repertoire. \n Choir leader Seraph Davidson is a member of the Natural Voice Network who believe that ‘singing is everybody’s birthright.’ At DPCC we aim to be inclusive and accessible to all so if you have any particular needs\, please speak to us so that we can work out how the choir can work for you. \n Singing in a choir can be a wonderful boost to your health and wellbeing. It’s a proven way to reduce stress levels and it is an effective way to build community. If you are looking for a warm\, welcoming choir then this is the choir for you. \nTimes and dates\nWe meet on Tuesday evenings (check block dates) and sing from 7pm – 8.45pm\, with a short break around 8pm. Arrival is from 6.45pm. \nThe choir usually meets in blocks of between seven to ten weeks and ideally choir members should aim to have an attendance of 75% or more for the benefit of the choir.  We rarely issue homework or learning tracks which is an aspect that our singers really enjoy. This reduces additional demand on your time outside of the Tuesday night sessions.  \nFees\nChoir blocks are to be paid in advance. Current choir session costs equate to £5 per session therefore for an eight-week block\, £40 would be paid in advance.    \nPerformances\nTo date\, DPCC have performed in house for various events and at Leith Gala. We had a great time and the feedback was wonderful. It is likely that we will branch out and do more community gigs particularly around the Leith area and for causes that align with Duncan Place Community Hub. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\nA Duncan Place Event\n\n\n \n \n \n email us \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n Upcoming Events \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 9:30 am -

We run the group in partnership with Ancient Robot Games\, with two of their staff members (Morgan and Brian) leading and supporting the sessions. \nStarting on Friday\, 16th January\, the group will run weekly on Fridays\, 3 pm to 5 pm\, until Friday\, 27th March (except the 20th February – school spring break – when there will be no session). \nIt costs £2 per session\, paid by cash or card on arrival each week. \nWe first ran the group for eight weeks before the summer 2025 holidays and have a core group of around twelve young people\, with games running on two/three tables. We’re expecting that number to grow in the next block and can accommodate a maximum of 20 people. \nFor anyone joining the group\, we just need:\nTheir name\, plus an emergency contact name and email/telephone number.\nWe also check in to see if anyone has any food allergies/dietary requirements in case we’re ever able to offer snacks. \nWhat to expect:\nSplit into groups of around five\, players will create their own adventurer and be guided through a fantasy world\, fighting monsters and maybe saving the day! Each group will also include one Game Master who will control the monsters\, townspeople\, and cute (or not-so-cute) animals of the world. D&D is easier to do than to explain\, though\, and this will be a perfect place for both new and experienced players to come together and play D&D. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nFridays 12th Sept – 21st Nov\n(except during October break)\n3 pm – 5 pm\n£2\, please book\nAges S2-S6 \nContact events@duncanplace.org if you have any questions.

If paying by cash\, it would be great if you could bring exactly £1 to save having to make lots of change. We also have a card machine available for card payments. \nThis group is strictly for adults aged 16 and over. \n\nRecent LEGO article about the benefits of LEGO building for adults:\n \nOver the past few years\, more and more people have been using LEGO® building to help them practice mindfulness. \nIn 2019\, we even teamed up with DK Publishing and the author Abbie Hendon to publish a self-help book entitled ‘Build Yourself Happy’\, which contains more than 50 mindful LEGO building activities and tips. (We’ve featured some of our favorites below!) \nYet despite the growing popularity of mindfulness\, there remains some confusion surrounding it. Mindfulness isn’t just some pseudo-scientific popular fad\, but can actually physically alter the brain of depressed patients for the better\, as an increasing number of scientific studies are showing. \nSo we thought it would be a good idea to explain a little bit more about mindfulness and see why psychologists are recommending LEGO building to achieve it. \nWe’ve even created our own step-by-step guide on how to practice mindfulness through LEGO building! \nRead the whole article here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\nA Duncan Place Event\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Eventbrite \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n Upcoming Events \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 9:30 am - 12:00 pm \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n The Piping Center \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 10:00 am - 11:00 am \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n The Piping Center \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 10:00 am - 12:00 pm \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n The Piping Center \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 10:00 am - 5:00 pm \n \n \n \n Calis Harun – Mosaic Workshop \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 27 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 9:00 am - 2:45 pm \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n Edinburgh College \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n View Calendar URL:https://duncanplace.org/event/leith-lego-group-for-adults-3/2026-02-26/ LOCATION:Duncan Place Community Hub\, Duncan Place\, Leith\, Edinburgh\, Edinburgh\, EH6 8HW\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://duncanplace.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/3.png ORGANIZER;CN="Duncan Place Events":MAILTO:events@duncanplace.org GEO:55.9699976;-3.1683591 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Duncan Place Community Hub Duncan Place Leith Edinburgh Edinburgh EH6 8HW United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Duncan Place:geo:-3.1683591,55.9699976 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260226T163000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260226T180000 DTSTAMP:20260425T042347 CREATED:20260116T163859Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260202T124214Z UID:10005251-1772123400-1772128800@duncanplace.org SUMMARY:Leith LEGO Group for ages 7 to 11 - Big Duncan room DESCRIPTION:Are you aged 7 to 11 and looking for somewhere to put your LEGO skills to the test?

Laughter for Jo became a daily tool to manage mood\, reduce pain\, build resilience and boost health and happiness which she then wanted to share with others. \nJo ran Edinburgh Laughter Club for 10 years totally voluntarily to become one of the most successful laughter clubs in the UK (the first club to run weekly sessions and the first to secure funding from the NHS). Together with her regular members\, they raised over £25K for local charities – doing good and feeling good! \n\n\n\n\n\n \nImportant Information\n\n\n\nPayments – Please Read\nPayments for these classes can be made here on Eventbrite\, however\, please be advised that Eventbrite add their own non-refundable fee to the ticket price which they collect. Alternatively\, you can email us at events@duncanplace.org and we can send you a payment link without an additional fee. After your first class\, payments can be made in person each week at Duncan Place via card or cash. \nChoosing Your Payment Amount – Please Read\n£6 = Our Standard Class Fee is for people who have a steady income (from any source) and are able to occasionally attend paid events or classes. \nAlternative options\n£4 = The Reduced Class Fee is an alternative option for people who have an unsteady or low income\, are not often able to attend paid events or classes\, and would really struggle to pay the standard class cost of £6. \n£8 = Class Fee + is an alternative option for people who have more disposable income and are able to regularly attend paid events or classes. This option also helps us sustain the reduced priced option. \nWith these three options\, it is also completely OK to pick different payment options at each class. You get to choose exactly what you pay according to what you can genuinely afford. We only ask that you do a little bit of self-reflection before choosing your price point. You may find yourself somewhere between price points and that is fine. You get to choose which price point fits most comfortably at any given time. \nParticipant Information\nPlease arrive five or ten minutes before the class starts – latecomers may not be admitted. \nPlease wear comfortable clothing allowing movement – light layers are best as we can warm up and cool down quickly between different stages of the class. \nPart of the session includes laughter meditation where you have the option of lying down (or you can be seated in a chair). If you have a favourite yoga mat or blanket you’d like to bring along\, please do\, however we also have a limited supply of them here that you can use on the day. \nThese Laughter For Health & Happiness classes are totally inclusive and welcome everyone of all fitness levels and mobility; wheelchair users are welcome (as are Carers and Support Workers for those who need physical assistance) and people who find it difficult to stand or cope with moving around can do the whole class seated. \nThese classes will include elements of Laughter Yoga which is an aerobic exercise that may not be suitable for people suffering from uncontrolled blood pressure\, heart disease\, epilepsy\, any kind of hernia\, severe back pain\, abdominal surgery within the last 3 months and major psychiatric conditions. If these conditions do not apply but during the class you experience pain\, discomfort or breathlessness then take a break – have a seat and take some time out to rest – and perhaps then continue with restraint or more gently. If you have any doubt about continuing then simply stop. If you are unsure as to whether you should participate – please consult your GP before attending. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n Upcoming Events \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 9:30 am - 12:00 pm \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n The Piping Center \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 10:00 am - 11:00 am \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n The Piping Center \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 10:00 am - 12:00 pm \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n The Piping Center \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 10:00 am - 5:00 pm \n \n \n \n Calis Harun – Mosaic Workshop \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 27 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 9:00 am - 2:45 pm \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n Edinburgh College \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n View Calendar URL:https://duncanplace.org/event/laughter-for-health-and-happiness-big-duncan-room-8/2026-02-26/ LOCATION:Duncan Place Community Hub\, Duncan Place\, Leith\, Edinburgh\, Edinburgh\, EH6 8HW\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://duncanplace.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/4.png ORGANIZER;CN="Duncan Place Events":MAILTO:events@duncanplace.org GEO:55.9699976;-3.1683591 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Duncan Place Community Hub Duncan Place Leith Edinburgh Edinburgh EH6 8HW United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Duncan Place:geo:-3.1683591,55.9699976 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260224T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260224T204500 DTSTAMP:20260425T042347 CREATED:20251201T134553Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251205T124821Z UID:10005037-1771959600-1771965900@duncanplace.org SUMMARY:Duncan Place Community Choir DESCRIPTION:Our 8-week choir block runs from Tuesday 3rd February until Tuesday 31st March (no session on Tuesday 17th February). The block costs £40 which is to be paid in advance.\nSpaces are limited\, so please do email us on events@duncanplace.org and we can let you know if there’s space to join.\nWe’re aiming to start our next choir block on Tue 21st April. Please get in touch to express your interest if you’d be keen to join then. \n\nImportant information:\nWe’re having a couple of trial sessions for people who would be available to join this 8-week block on Tuesday 20th and Tuesday 27th January. These two sessions only\, will be £5 pay-as-you-go session. Again\, spaces are limited\, so please do get in touch. \nAs we take a rest over Christmas and New Year\, our events email won’t be monitored from Fri 19th December until Tuesday 6th January. If you’re getting in touch during this time\, we’ll get back to you once we return. Thanks. \n\nWhat to expect\nDuncan Place Community Choir (DPCC) started in October 2023. In early 2023 we reached out to community members to discover what they wanted from a community events programme. Top of the list was a community choir\, and after an initial planning meeting with interested community members in July 2023\, our choir first sang together a couple of months later. \n We welcome all singers over the age of 18 whether you’re a complete beginner or seasoned singer. There are no auditions\, and everything is learned by ear\, you do not need to read music. We sing acapella enjoying a range of material from folk\, pop\, gospel\, and traditional songs in other languages. Songs that celebrate community\, nature\, and humanity feature highly in the repertoire. \n Choir leader Seraph Davidson is a member of the Natural Voice Network who believe that ‘singing is everybody’s birthright.’ At DPCC we aim to be inclusive and accessible to all so if you have any particular needs\, please speak to us so that we can work out how the choir can work for you. \n Singing in a choir can be a wonderful boost to your health and wellbeing. It’s a proven way to reduce stress levels and it is an effective way to build community. If you are looking for a warm\, welcoming choir then this is the choir for you. \nTimes and dates\nWe meet on Tuesday evenings (check block dates) and sing from 7pm – 8.45pm\, with a short break around 8pm. Arrival is from 6.45pm. \nThe choir usually meets in blocks of between seven to ten weeks and ideally choir members should aim to have an attendance of 75% or more for the benefit of the choir.  We rarely issue homework or learning tracks which is an aspect that our singers really enjoy. This reduces additional demand on your time outside of the Tuesday night sessions.  \nFees\nChoir blocks are to be paid in advance. Current choir session costs equate to £5 per session therefore for an eight-week block\, £40 would be paid in advance.    \nPerformances\nTo date\, DPCC have performed in house for various events and at Leith Gala. We had a great time and the feedback was wonderful. It is likely that we will branch out and do more community gigs particularly around the Leith area and for causes that align with Duncan Place Community Hub. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\nA Duncan Place Event\n\n\n \n \n \n email us \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n Upcoming Events \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 9:30 am -

She would often begin the day by guiding staff and children through a short yoga practice and her commitment to furthering her yoga training and teaching stemmed from this time. Yonnie completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training in a small yoga studio in Jaipur and has since gone on to train in yoga mudra\, family yoga\, yoga and autism and chair yoga. Her yoga teaching is rooted in inclusivity and (being older herself) she loves working with seniors as well as all the other ages!

Please contact events@duncanplace.org to join us. Spaces are filled on a first-come\, first-served basis.\n\nThis is a chair-modified yoga class which is suitable for all ages. This class gives chair-based variations on the classic poses – you will find your mountain and warrior poses here! \nWhilst the focus is about maintaining strength and flexibility it’s still a very relaxing class. This hour long chair yoga class will include yoga poses\, gentle yoga flows and stretching sequences\, pranayama (breathing practices)\, some meditation and of course relaxation. \n**Please arrive five minutes beforehand so classes can start on time.** \n\n\n\n\n \nClasses led by Yoga Teacher Yonnie Fraser\n\n\n\nYonnie has worked with children and young people in creative projects all over Scotland for the last 25 years. She would often begin the day by guiding staff and children through a short yoga practice and her commitment to furthering her yoga training and teaching stemmed from this time. Yonnie completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training in a small yoga studio in Jaipur and has since gone on to train in yoga mudra\, family yoga\, yoga and autism and chair yoga. Her yoga teaching is rooted in inclusivity and (being older herself) she loves working with seniors as well as all the other ages! She has recently completed an advanced yoga teacher training in psychologically-sensitive Yoga. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\nA Duncan Place Event\n\n \n\nAdd your name to the waiting listevents@duncanplace.org \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n Upcoming Events \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 9:30 am - 12:00 pm \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n The Piping Center \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 10:00 am - 11:00 am \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n The Piping Center \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 10:00 am - 12:00 pm \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n The Piping Center \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 25 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 10:00 am - 5:00 pm \n \n \n \n Calis Harun – Mosaic Workshop \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Apr \n \n 27 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 9:00 am - 2:45 pm \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n Edinburgh College \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n View Calendar URL:https://duncanplace.org/event/chair-yoga-thursdays-3/2026-02-19/ LOCATION:Duncan Place Community Hub\, Duncan Place\, Leith\, Edinburgh\, Edinburgh\, EH6 8HW\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://duncanplace.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/11.png ORGANIZER;CN="Duncan Place Events":MAILTO:events@duncanplace.org GEO:55.9699976;-3.1683591 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Duncan Place Community Hub Duncan Place Leith Edinburgh Edinburgh EH6 8HW United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Duncan Place:geo:-3.1683591,55.9699976 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
