Insta-insider with Edinburgh-based yogi Zara Carmichael

I am generally a smiley person but especially if there are brownies involved. These ones are plant-based and infused with CBD oil.

I love this magical image of the bridges – it’s almost as though they’re floating. For me, nothing is more relaxing than the sound of waves and the feeling of warm sand beneath my feet

Wherever I go, my bike goes too. For me cycling is the best way to get about Edinburgh as it’s great fun, free and eco-friendly.

EDINBURGH YOGI ZARA CARMICHAEL CHOOSES HER #TOP9 Follow her on Instagram @zaraszen

As a Nutrition student, I love sharing simple plant focused recipes and hope to one day combine my love for food and yoga by running a retreat. The practise of Yoga truly transformed my life, and I am forever grateful to share this with others as both a student and teacher.

My favourite place to recentre in-between classes at Tribe Yoga.

If yoga is my yin, then running is my yang. There is nothing more freeing than a long run along the beach or around Arthur’s seat
