INDIVIDUAL TUITION IN EDINBURGH

Works well online- if interested, contact Bijam to make arrangements. I would recommend individual sessions approximately monthly with a four-week home practice plan created. Each online session can also be recorded.

COURSES

Monthly yoga workshops at Dechmont Memorial Community Centre - resumed November 2021. Suitable for people with some experience and a wish to further their personal development in yoga.

Theme for 2021-22

Inspired by “The Secret Power of Yoga” - a translation and commentary on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali by Nischala Joy Devi. A quotation from the book:

“As a woman who has taught Yoga for more than thirty years, I have felt a great deal of frustration and, at times, sadness at the fact that virtually all aspects of Yoga - from translations of sacred texts to instructions on performing postures - have been interpreted almost entirely by and for men.”

We're comparing different translations and commentaries and practising asana, pranayama, mudra, bandhas, yoga nidra and meditation.

Dates: 10 am to 1 pm, Saturdays February 5^th, March 5^th, April 9^th and May 14^th 2022

Cost: £20 per session
