Yoga, Pilates, MFA, BFA Contemporary Dance, BA English, Former Sweaty Betty Ambassador, Director of GOAT Media Limited

Wyn has devoted her life to studying and teaching movement. Her articulate approach to somatic practice has evolved naturally over the last 25 years from her contemporary dance training. Watching, listening and embodying the lessons she teaches, allows her classes to continuously evolve.

Wyn’s interest in the body - mind connection began during her graduate studies in dance. Her thesis concerned the psychology of flow in the choreographic and filmmaking process. This dive into mindful awareness led her back to yoga, which she practiced regularly since 1996.

Deeply rooted in an anatomical studies, she trained in Pilates and opened her first studio Wyn Pottratz Pilates. In 2016, she relocated to Edinburgh, Scotland where she led thousands of Pilates and yoga classes across the city, mostly at her home studio Tribe Yoga. Her form-focused style blended well with her mindful approach, and in 2020 she received the Sweaty Betty Ambassadorship for Edinburgh. Take a class with Wyn from her online library.

In addition to her accomplished teaching, Wyn is the Chief Officer of GOAT Media Limited, an award-winning production company and platform of dance films. Check out GOAT’s films here.

Wyn brings a calming positive energy to her yoga classes and is very skilled in creating the right atmosphere for every type of class, whether it is an early morning sunrise flow or a blissful restorative workshop.
