Yoga Dundee offers the following classes: prenatal yoga, baby massage and children's Hatha yoga (during term time primarily within schools) in Dundee and North East Fife.

Yoga is a great way to improve your health and wellbeing. There are many styles of yoga and as a student it is important to try different styles and teachers to see which suits you. Regardless of which style you eventually connect with, yoga teaches us to be aware of our bodies at a physical, emotional and spiritual level, this awareness is heightened during pregnancy. With discipline and dedication we begin to realise yoga is a very powerful practice. Yoga also helps to develop an awareness of the breath, it is essentially a breathing exercise. Proper breathing increases the oxygen capacity and in turn nourishes every cell in our body and calms the nervous system. This is how we begin to realise the goal of yoga "yogas chitta vritti nirodhah", which roughly translated means to control the modifications of the mind, to be unbound by the outside world. We cannot sit and meditate if our mind is busy thinking about this and that.

Good or bad, our bodies remember every experience we have during our lifetime. These experiences leave impressions at a cellular level. Over time these "bad" impressions can create an imbalance within the body. Yoga addresses this imbalance through asana (postures) and pranayama (breathing techniques). We can learn a great deal about ourselves whilst on our yoga mats beyond the physical practice. Our yoga practice allows us to open our heart and go beyond the ego so that we can tune into our true Self. Many yoga students find the calmness yoga brings, gently spills over into other areas of their lives, when this happens we are not only practicing yoga but living it too.
