So grateful for another fully booked event in my favourite space The Yoga Tree Stirling. Thank you all for joining me in exploring Autumn Energy and the Metal element in Yoga on and off the mat.

From exploring different breathing practices to our Autumn themed Qi-gong. From our long Yoga Nidra to exploring the use of Emotional Freedom Technique and its connection to Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Following the workshop I met with my lovely friend, exchanged ideas on values and what matters in life (Autumn energy here as well!) and enjoyed a walk through the orange, brown and red colours 🍂 What a great Sunday!

Stay tuned for a new type of event in early December (exciting!) and our next Seasonal Yoga Workshop in January 🧘‍♀️ 🧘‍♂️

Interested in Seasonal Eating? Scroll no more!

🍁Here's a few examples of fruits and veg of autumn:
pears, apples, clementines, butternut squash, celeriac, potatoes, chestnuts, mushrooms, leeks, kale, beetroot, carrots, Jerusalem artichokes, pumpkins, swede, turnips, parsnips, Brussels sprouts, Swiss chard, cabbage, chicory

🍁Cooking methods:

🍁Time for spices!

Enjoy the flavours Autumn offers 🍄 🍎 🍐 🥕 🌰

Wanna join a lovely group of people to practise Yoga a bit differently? Our Yin-to-Yang Seasonal Yoga class started summer last year and welcomes all abilities 16+

I love how with this class we bring together Yin and Yang elements into our practice. It involves working deep into the Yin (ligaments, joints, bones) and Yang (muscles) tissues in ways that support you balance these complementary opposites in body, mind, and day-to-day life. Breathwork and guided meditation support you to feel present, go deeper in your practice, and release tension.

A great midday break to find balance and nourish your body & mind.

Join me at the lovely space of The Yoga Tree Stirling in the heart of Stirling Town.

Message me or email me [email protected] for any questions or to book your space.

Have you had the chance to join me at my Monday evening class for a great start to your week to reduce stress and take an hour to yourself to nourish your mind & body?

A unique class, evolved through time, with a structure carefully curated by me to include different aspects of Yoga practice.

It involves mindful breathwork to help you feel more present, nourishing movement with Yoga sequences to rejuvenate the body, some therapeutic restorative poses in between to give you a 'heal & reboot' feeling, while finishing with a short Yoga Nidra, a form of guided meditation to support you remove any physical or mental tension.

A mixed abilities & beginner-friendly class😉

Practise with me in the serene space of The Yoga Tree Stirling in the heart of Stirling town.

Join me on the hammock to explore the benefits and fun of Aerial Yoga 🧘‍♀️ ✨️

How much do you know about the origins of Aerial Yoga?

Although Michelle Dortignac combined elements of traditional yoga poses, pilates and dance with the use of a hammock (2006), it was actually a very famous Yoga guru that should be credited for introducing a more primitive form of this practice.

B.K.S. Iyengar (1918-2014), who is very well known for the named-after-him style of Hatha Yoga and for popularising the practice of Yoga around the world, was the pioneer in using props to support his students getting the most out of their practice.

Apart from blocks, straps, and chairs, he was the one that first used ropes (with a few layers of fabric to avoid friction) in order to assist his students into inversions. Gradually, he introduced the use of this new prop in other asanas as well.

Moving from this less sophisticated prop to a much comfier hammock nowadays, we can enjoy a variety of poses and movement flows exploring mind-body connection in different ways, and also enjoying practices like pranayama and meditation inside the hammock.

Would you like to join me in class to immerse yourself in the practice and benefits of Aerial Yoga?

✨️ How do you find balance in your life?

✨️ How do you connect with nature?

✨️ How do you reconnect with yourself?

✨️ How do you find contentment?

✨️ How do you cherish everyday moments of peace & happiness?

An evening and a sunset on the peaceful water of a loch. Moments that combine all that I love: Yoga practice, the calmness of the water element, the beauty of nature, and the company of my partner.

How grateful to be able to enjoy all this in a world that hurts so much. How lucky to be living in a place so close to such beauty 🌿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 And I take nothing for granted 🙏

It's official! The Stirling Seasonal Yoga Teacher Training 24/25 has launched! Over the weekend we welcomed 7 new trainees!
With Park Yoga

Module 1 completed ✔️

What a lovely group of people embarking on a year of self growth!

Thank you The Yoga Tree Stirling once again for the lovely space!

We both thoroughly enjoyed meeting you all & are looking forward to our Module 2 in October!!

Namaste 🙏
Andriani & Nicola

"The hearing that is only in the ears is one thing. The hearing of the understanding is another. But the hearing of the spirit is not limited to any one faculty, to the ear, or to the mind. Hence, it demands the emptiness of all the faculties. And when the faculties are empty, then the whole being listens. There is then a direct grasp of what is right there before you that can never be heard with the ear or understood with the mind" (Chuang-Tzu on true empathy)

One space left for our 200hr Yoga Teacher Training starting soon in Stirling! Get in touch with Park Yoga or maybe share with a friend who's interested :-)

Are you passionate about Yoga and ready to dive deeper, to build your own practice & learn more about philosophy & seasonal living? Are you thinking of becoming a yoga teacher, and spreading the benefits of Yoga to your community?

Join us in central Scotland for a year of personal growth & discovery, exploring the Asanas (poses) and Pranayama (breathing techniques), meditation, anatomy & physiology. Discover deep wisdom in Yoga Philosophy, history & theory, and learn Qi-gong exercises and principles from Traditional Chinese Medicine to apply to your life.

Seasonal Yoga brings these elements together, harnessing the changing energies of nature and the seasons in a practice that improves physical strength and flexibility, giving balance, harmony and an enhanced sense of well-being.

Trainers:
Nicola Park Park Yoga
Andriani Marka Andriani's Ahimsa Yoga

I love how September is the month of plans coming to fruition. Been working on this for a while, so I am very excited to announce Aerial Yoga is coming to Stirlingshire this September hooray 🥳🥳

Join me in exploring Yoga with the support and fun that the hammock offers. Aerial Yoga can be more accessible than mat based Yoga for some people, while for others, it is a different way of working with their body & mind.
It supports you in exploring full body movement, increasing flexibility, balance & body awareness, reducing stress & improving focus along with having fun. Each class includes breathing practice, movement, and final relaxation/guided meditation while lying in the hammock

In collaboration with .stirling and , we are kicking things off with two taster classes on Tuesdays of 10th & 17th of September 5-6pm.

Head to the linktree on my profile for the link to booking!

Looking forward to seeing you 😊

Andriani
