PRANA  for Life  .... we strive to enhance this energy so it may flow freely....

Welcome to my Page.

My name is Siobhan. I want you to discover and feel some or even all that I have experienced through YOGA and find a formula of Yoga that suits you .

I have experienced Yoga far and wide in its various forms for over 25 years and my own practice is a daily one. I focus hands on "one to one" tuition in Balfron, Stirlingshire and teach sessions monthly in Glasgow.
  My main drive now is in teaching workshops around Scotland's great Yoga Studios and lecturing on recognised teacher trainings like Classical Yoga School Scotland .

My specialism is in Pranayama, the breath and the fourth limb of Yoga. I teach Hatha Yoga therapy, Ashtanga Yoga and Pre- natal Yoga.

I have been lucky enough to have some famous guests ask me for Yoga over the years like Jack Black (Actor, Pop Star "Tenacious D") Russell
Brand (Actor and Comedian), Billy Boyd (Actor "Lord of the Rings"and pop star "Beecake", Gerry McCulloch (Sports reporter/commentator) and have been a star guest on Radio Scotland's Fred McCauley show.

I am an Ayurvedic therapist specialising in traditional Eastern Ayurvedic massage and run a training college (see massage training).  I travel to India regularly for ongoing study working with scientists, doctors and researchers at the top of their field and graduated with 3 years of intensive study in this field and 17 years with my breath master.   I can help your growth on a Yoga path that is right for you.

I am offering our first teacher Training year next year 2022..... it is a Yoga Therapy teacher training to give you the tools to address disease patterns in the body and know exactly what works for each category .....that way we can focus more on applying a tool box to each individual and its variations.....it will give more confidence to Yoga teachers who want to do much more than just teach a class, meaning they can do deeper and more personalised work with individuals.

This Teacher training in YOGA PRANAYAMA 200 HOURS Yoga Alliance will commence in November 19th and 20th 2022.

It will be the first of its kind in the UK.  Most Yoga Trainings still focus on Asana or physical practices.....we will still be doing this ..... however the blend is more unique.  A fusion of Hatha Yoga Therapy, Pranayama.....and a very detailed and in depth study of breathing practices for all modern disease, Philosophy , Neuro-science, Ayurveda and how to treat and diagnose Dosha through these teachings.  We have guest lecturers throughout the course who are at the very top of their field in the key areas listed in our modules they will be with us on this journey as we grow together.

The first session will be 19th & 20th November 2022.  This session will be longer. This is to integrate certain practices going forward. The 2nd to 10th Immersions will take place 1 weekend per month..... for a period of 10 months.....this will be followed by a period of study and a weekend of exams.  During these 10 months there will be an opportunity to observe and embrace all elements of the course on a 5 day therapy retreat ( this is not compulsory but a wonderful opportunity and can be integrated into the cost of the course ). Students will also be assessed throughout the year and given goals each month.

We will be basing the course in a beautiful dedicated Yoga space in Our World Yoga Glasgow's West end.....  lectures included will be from experts in their own field of Neuroscience, Eastern religion, Ayurvedic physicians and Breath masters who live in opposite sides of the world.  This way we can unite everything and grow together a beautiful and very unique programme. Lectures that happen online will be recorded so they may be watched again.  All materials will be available for the lifetimes of the course and can be downloaded and saved. Journals, Handbooks and presentations will be sent direct to the student.
