Find your zen at this one-off yoga class in the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh

Everyone knows yoga has a number of benefits, from focusing your mind for better concentration to boosting your overall wellbeing.

But how many people get the chance to do yoga in the world-renowned surroundings of a national art gallery? You do.

A one-off yoga brunch is taking place next week on Sunday (15 September), organised by EGG - a group that was created to champion and bring together Edinburgh's female community.

But it won't be taking place in a studio, instead the yogis will be practising their downward dog in the stunning setting of the Scottish National Gallery.

A description for the event reads: "As you are led through a yoga and meditation session by the wonderful Lisa from Leith's The Movement House, take in your surroundings and gaze at the dazzling and compelling abstract paintings of Bridget Riley, widely-recognised as the greatest living artist in the UK."

After yoga, which will start at 9:30am, guests will head down for a brunch in the cafe, which has recently re-opened following an extensive seven-month refurbishment.  

Tickets for the event cost £24 and can be bought here.
