Get in touch for more details, would be lovely to practice with you!

Julie’s coming to visit us! 🤩 🤸🧘

At a recent teachers meeting, I asked Julie if she would be willing to come to the Stirling area to teach a class for us, very happy to confirm she said she would!

So 14th September we welcome Julie to Bridge of Allan for a 2.5 hr workshop!

I’m really looking forward to a morning of Yoga with Julie. Workshops offer a chance to delve deeper into Yoga practice, to gain a deeper insight into yoga and how we approach practice. So an opportunity to do so with someone who has made yoga such an intrinsic part of their lives is a good opportunity in my opinion!

We ask that as a student you have roughly 6 months experience of Yoga (doesn’t necessarily have to be Iyengar).
Please bring your mat!
If you have your own props, you are welcome to bring them along, however we will have some available.

For more information about Julie, please head to: https://www.yogaontay.com

Any questions or queries please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me!

Yoga and running are more effective than drugs or therapy in treating depression, a new study published in the British Medical Journal has shown.

'Exercise is an effective treatment for depression, with walking or jogging, yoga, and strength training more effective than other exercises, particularly when intense.'

Data was reviewed from clinical trials involving 14,170 people.

Group yoga classes were also shown to be highly effective at improving symptoms of depression, as the social interaction can provide added benefits.

The study said that exercise should be considered as a “core treatment for depression”, and the NHS should offer exercise classes alongside other treatments including antidepressants and psychotherapy.

“Modern technology has provided us with the means to examine the state of our bodies. But nothing has helped us discern character, personality, or the potential for goodness. The most important aspect of a human being is the part which lies between the outer skin and the innermost soul - the shakti, which includes the mind, intellect, emotions, vital energy, the sense of "I", the powers of will and discrimination, and the conscience. These are different in every human being, and that makes us individually both mysterious and unique.”
