Yoga and Meditation in Edinburgh and Online

Yoga and meditation for deep relaxation and discovery of your inner world. Whether this involves chakras, which are energy centres in our body; or the breath, which we may take for granted as it happens every day, all the time, yet it can be a tool in which to access a calm and clear mind; or any of the numerous subtle thoughts, emotions or states we may not notice due to the habits we all have.

In Ta**ra, habits are not something to get rid of but something to notice and transform. It is a tradition which involves many methods that can be used to unblock, unlock and become more aware.

I have trained with my teacher for many years, living together with other yoga teacher aspirants and Swami Janakananda’s personal guidance. It has allowed me to be able to share these methods in a harmonious and effective way.
