YIN Yoga
Sunday, 03 August 2008
Most forms of Yoga practiced today emphasise muscular movement and contraction. By contrast Yin Yoga targets the connective tissue of the hips, pelvis and lower spine. Yin postures are held three to five to ten minutes at a time. This type of practice complements the more muscular styles of Yoga and is a great aid for learning to sit in meditation. In this respect it complements much of the classical Hatha yoga teachings which emphasise asana as a preparation for sitting for long periods of time. This workshop will explore various Yin sequences and some of the theory associated with practising yoga in this style. Jude learned Yin Yoga from one of its leading exponents and teachers and renowned teacher of yoga anatomy, Paul Grilley. This style of yoga is accessible to anybody with any level of experience.

Yoga Day for Yoga Teachers
Sunday, 03 August 2008
Anne Casey and Brenda Louw are putting together the first of hopefully many get-togethers for yoga teachers. It plans to be an informal gathering of teachers from any school of Yoga to share experiences, ask questions, do some yoga practice, and just generally have a good day meeting with and learning from each other! The venue is the David Marshall Lodge, Aberfoyle, and is surrounded by woods, waterfalls and lovely views. Aberfoyle is near Stirling, and is only an hour away from Perth, Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh. There is plenty to do in and around Aberfoyle, so it could be a family day out. There is a children's play area, cafe, woodland walks and Osprey viewing room at the Lodge. The Lodge is a 10 minute walk from Aberfoyle where there are pubs, restaurants, shops and a lovely walk to Fairy Hill, so lots for the family to do while you are yoga-ing! A programme will be set up, so if you would like to volunteer to take a class in asana, meditation, pranayama or any other topic, let us know! It will be a non-profit day, expenses shared by all who come, so hopefully will not be more than £10 per person (excluding lunch - we can arrange soup, sandwiches and fruit and all chip in on those costs too, prices will be confirmed when we have numbers) If you know of any other yoga teachers who would be interested, please let them know! Spaces limited so please book! Hope to see you there... (Time:10am - 4pm).
