Whilst Yoga strengthens our limbs and focuses our minds, feng shui strengthens the positive energy, or Chi, around us, and can be focused on an element that balances the areas of life we are working on. http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/feng-shui-and-yoga/ http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/feng-shui-and-yoga/ Tue, 25 Jan 2011 16:33:37 +0000 The Clare Island Yoga Retreat Centre began somewhat unexpectedly when, in 2001, we had the crazy idea of doing an Easter yoga retreat on the island where Ciara had been living on and off for nearly twenty years. We were surprised when the course filled up. Do people really want to come all this way, to a spectacularly beautiful, but difficult-to-get to island with a decidedly temperamental climate? But they did, and we soon we were made aware of the satisfaction and delight and gratitude that many expressed for just such an opportunity. http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/yoga-on-an-island/ http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/yoga-on-an-island/ Tue, 25 Jan 2011 16:33:37 +0000 Yoga cannot take place another time, it must begin now with your intention to practice. Where in the yoga sutra's does Patanjali say that yoga must be a ninety minute class of asana's? Or an hour? Or half an hour? Does he even prescribe that we must dedicate one minute to yoga? http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/maintaining-a-home-yoga-practice/ http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/maintaining-a-home-yoga-practice/ Tue, 25 Jan 2011 16:33:37 +0000 Find Yoga Centres, Yoga Studios and Yoga Classes in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-directory/dumfries-and-galloway/ http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-directory/dumfries-and-galloway/ Wed, 26 Jan 2011 17:35:28 +0000 An interview with Scott Rennie.

I think so. Scotland has its own tradition, its own heritage, something unique in its identity there. The UK works in different parts and with different accents, like in Scotland. These differences are not imposed but come from nature and fit the local people. These are things that give that uniqueness of identity. But it is very important not to forget the bigger picture, the common interest of the whole. This I think is not only now relevant to some individual countries but to the whole world, to think in the global sense. Each country should consider itself to be a member of that whole humanity. http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/the-dalai-lama-in-scotland/ http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/the-dalai-lama-in-scotland/ Tue, 25 Jan 2011 16:33:37 +0000 Yoga offers the opportunity to be ok, learn and grow from our changes. When we come to our mat to practice, each breath will be unique, each posture different from the last time we practiced, each thought presented in a different perspective. When we sit and meditate, understand that the fluctuations of the mind will adapt and change the meditation, the sitting may be comfortable or challenging, the stillness different each time. http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/change-adapting-through-yoga/ http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/change-adapting-through-yoga/ Tue, 25 Jan 2011 16:33:37 +0000 Kesang Takla, His Holiness the Dalai Lama's Northern European representative, was in Edinburgh for two days during May, prior to the Dalai Lama's visit here in June. Interesting for a host of reasons - being the only woman doing a job like this, she was born in Tibet and was educated in a Roman Catholic convent, and was married to HHDL's head of security who accompanied him out of Tibet in 1959, dressing him as a soldier. http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/kesang-takla-in-scotland/ http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/kesang-takla-in-scotland/ Tue, 25 Jan 2011 16:33:37 +0000 I learned about Surya Meditation from Dr. Michael Mamas after having practiced other techniques for 18 years. Besides the gazillion other self- improvements I imposed upon my confused Self, I could sit on the cushion stock still for hours on end, observing my breath, following a mantra, or staring at a candle. I was at times even mildly successful at blanking out my mind. http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/are-you-maditating/ http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/are-you-maditating/ Tue, 25 Jan 2011 16:33:37 +0000 There is no pus formation without Pitta says an ancient Ayurvedic proverb. Acne indicates toxic blood, where aggravated Pitta Dosha (which is hot and humid) mixes with Ama (toxins) and vitiates the Rakta Dhatu (blood tissue) manifesting as pus filled eruptions on the skin, as well as other inflammatory skin conditions. Since this is Pitta season (hot and humid summer time), it is no wonder you are looking for a remedy. http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/ayurvedic-acne-advice/ http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/ayurvedic-acne-advice/ Tue, 25 Jan 2011 16:33:37 +0000 Find Yoga Centres, Yoga Studios and Yoga Classes in Strathclyde, Scotland. http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-directory/strathclyde/ http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-directory/strathclyde/ Wed, 26 Jan 2011 17:36:24 +0000 Teaching Yoga for Pregnancy by Yoga Teacher Scott Rennie.

This is far beyond not telling lies. Satya settles in the very core, the very essence of who we are as human beings. Before we can be truthful with anyone else, we must be honest and truthful with ourselves. This is definitely under the hard to do list. http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/the-yama-satya-truthfulness/ http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/the-yama-satya-truthfulness/ Tue, 25 Jan 2011 16:33:37 +0000 Find Yoga Centres, Yoga Studios and Yoga Classes in Stirling, Scotland. http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-directory/stirling/ http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-directory/stirling/ Wed, 26 Jan 2011 17:36:19 +0000 Yoga, if we truly practice it, makes us peel back the layers of our emotional body. It may be the most difficult journey to take but by doing so, the gift of truth will set you free. It is not necessary to analyze all the details of a divorce in yoga practice. It is much more challenging to sit with the unanswered questions and wait for the answers. We move through divorce in our own, unique ways. Sometimes it is nasty, hateful and painful. Sometimes it is bittersweet, sad and painful. Sometimes it is amicable, relieving and painful. It is always painful. http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/yoga-through-divorce/ http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/yoga-through-divorce/ Tue, 25 Jan 2011 16:33:37 +0000 Celia Hawe is the author of Yoga for Weightloss and used her own experience around the issue of eight gain, inappropriate over eating, and despair around body image, to develop a system of weight loss which uses yoga as the anchor in which to reframe the mind to think positively, to combat stress and therefore emotional eating.

Its not actually that theres a death of Yoga going on in Scotland -- in fact when you scratch the surface there are loads of classes and events all over our wonderful land.

I say re-discovered, have discovered again, as I already had my initial discovery. Those who have had this will understand the discovery as being the movement from an inability to conceive how exactly bending yourself into a series of seemingly inactive postures can have any particular benefit physically and , more especially, mentally, into a state of revelation as to yogas worth and wonderment as to how you got by before this revelation. http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/dont-cross-yoga-off-the-list/ http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/dont-cross-yoga-off-the-list/ Tue, 25 Jan 2011 16:33:37 +0000 As well as direct bodywork, Hellerwork involves learning about our bodies, getting to know how best to use them in our daily lives.

Everyone has a certain amount of Candida in their digestive tract, but if the Candida increases beyond a certain level, it cause problems. The main symptoms are chronic low energy, low-grade fevers, variable digestion, weak immune system and food allergies. These symptoms can be confused with other conditions, especially complaints relating to general digestive weakness and immunity disorders, so it is best to have a medical examination to verify whether Candida is present at significant levels. http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/candida-an-ayurvedic-perspective/ http://www.yogabhoga.co.uk/yoga-articles/candida-an-ayurvedic-perspective/ Tue, 25 Jan 2011 16:33:37 +0000 When we look at health and sickness from an Ayurvedic point of view we learn the importance of our diet, how we digest our food and how our daily routine influences our vitality and resilience in life.
