When my beautiful friend .maxine asked me to assist on the first yoga teacher training (YTT) in Portugal it was, without hesitation, a yes.
⬇️
Such an honour - and also such a responsibility. My YTT was life-changing, so Eva and I intend to create something truly special for those who have decided to follow the calling to be a practitioner.
⬇️
My own Svadhyaya (self-study) has developed and deepened and I’m so excited to immerse myself again in this training, and share it with the group. People I’ve yet to meet, strangers all brought together through the love of yogic practices and philosophy.
⬇️
There are still 2 places remaining so if it resonates, maybe it’s time to take that leap of faith. ✨

Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society is a love it or hate it month in hashtag . I tend to not bother with it, never really go to shows or stand-ups, avoid the busier parts of the city and hibernate in my local area of Leith. But this year a show caught my eye: The Anti Yogi - Liberation not Lululemon 👊🏼

Part of the process of our asana practice is the r.e.a.l.i.s.a.t.i.o.n.s ✨✨
The moments were we figure things out, we notice the sensations in the body, where the strength comes from and how we can build on that.

New one for me, in chin stand pose, Ganda Bherundasana, we don’t balance on the chin. Allll of our awareness, strength and mobility is in the engagement and strengthening of the back, neck, wrists, biceps-triceps, and shoulders. A frontal body opening backbend pose requiring core strength, and strengthening of the entire abdominal muscles. 💥 💥

Shall we work towards it this week in The Yoga Shala Edinburgh?

I'm delighted to be joining Eva Maxine this October in Portugal to assist on The Source Yoga 200 hours teacher training. Like the practice of yoga itself, the journey of a teacher training is not just about an endpoint of certification and a closing ceremony. It’s a process of uncovering the origins and intricacies of yoga, alongside the self-exploration of reflecting, relating, and holding space for ourselves and others.

🦋Awakening Morning Yoga | meditation, journaling, pranayama, alongside energising haṭha + vinyāsa practices
📚In-depth Lectures & Tutorials | engaging and interactive sessions where I'll be leading the Conscious Living discussions
✨Restful Evening Practices | yin, restorative, gentle haṭha, and yoga nidra to unwind and regulate at the end of each day.

Our yoga asana practice helps strengthen our body- creating power and movement, flexibility and space. As we explore our asana practice and become more present and experienced, the practice itself evolves and teaches us lots of profound lessons.

Including our inner practice, our pranayama and meditation, mindfulness and compassion. This also includes strengthening our mental and emotional health too, helping us overcome challenging aspects of our lived experiences.

Yoga is more than postures.

Another new offering on The Yoga Shala शाला schedule | Sacred Breath & Sister Circles with Natalie Salvesen.

I've been sitting with this idea for a while, and I'm really pleased to now put it out into the universe and see where it lands.

✨T E A C H E R S C O L L E C T I V E ✨
When I first contemplated opening my own the idea initially came from craving support and mentorship, for guidance, community and belonging. The past studios I have worked in have fallen very short of this, and in fact created an environment of competition, insecurity and doubt. Fuelling the idea that social media likes and the popularity of your classes, determined your value as a teacher.

At The Yoga Shala Edinburgh we do things a little differently. We create support rather than creating competition. We offer a space to grow your offering, rather than creating doubt.

If you are a yoga teacher based in or and would like to join the Teachers Collective please reach out via email.
