Welcome to Prenatal Yoga in Dundee

News!!!

I will be teaching at Heart Space (Scott St, Dundee) for the next 6wks on a Wednesday evening 5.45pm-7.15pm. Drop-in is available.

2011 was a busy year with lots of positive birth stories and I welcomed mums returning to prenatal yoga with their second pregnancies which was a treat. In 2012 I will have taught yoga in Dundee for five years, specialising in prenatal yoga for the past two years. It has been a pleasure to teach over two hundred and fifty women the benefits of yoga for pregnancy and labour. To empower first time mums to have confidence in their ability to breathe properly during their labour is a real privilege.

My classes are consistently full so booking is highly recommended.

Yoga is a great way to improve your health and well being. There are many styles of yoga and as a student it is important to try different styles and teachers to see which suits you. Regardless of which style you eventually connect with, yoga teaches us to be aware of our bodies at a physical, emotional and spiritual level, this awareness is heightened during pregnancy. With discipline and dedication we begin to realise yoga is a very powerful practice. Yoga also helps to develop an awareness of the breath, it is essentially a breathing exercise. Proper breathing increases the oxygen capacity and in turn nourishes every cell in our body and calms the nervous system. This is how we begin to realise the goal of yoga "yogas chitta vritti nirodhah", which roughly translated means to control the modifications of the mind, to be unbound by the outside world. We cannot sit and meditate if our mind is busy thinking about this and that.

Yoga addresses imbalances through asana (postures) and pranayama (breathing techniques). We can learn a great deal about ourselves whilst on our yoga mats beyond the physical practice. Our yoga practice allows us to open our heart and go beyond the ego so that we can tune into our true Self. Many yoga students find the calmness yoga brings, gently spills over into other areas of their lives, when this happens we are not only practicing yoga but living it too.
