Yoga With Moira

Looking for a yoga class in Dumfries and Galloway? New to yoga? Experienced practitioner? Somewhere inbetween? You're in the right place! I am Moira Forsyth and I teach hatha yoga in Dumfries and surrounding area. 

 So welcome to my website which I hope will give you all the information you need about me (Moira Forsyth), my yoga classes in Dumfries and in Dumfries and Galloway and about yoga in general. We are all looking to be healthier these days, watching our diets and looking at the exercise we take for our bodies. Yoga is a way of achieving all of this but has so much more to offer its students:

v      A more flexible body – stretching to improve the range of movement in our muscles and joints.

v      Pain prevention – strengthening muscles around the joints can alleviate some of the symptoms of issues such as arthritis and can prevent the problems many of us have due to poor posture by teaching us correct alignment.

v      Better breathing – in the West we tend to breath in our upper chest (shallow breathing).Through the practice of pranayama yoga teaches us deep diaphragmatic breathing and how to control the breath to help us both physically and mentally.

v      Stress Reduction – Any physical activity is good for relieving stress but yoga has been proven to be particularly good due to the alignment of breath and movement and through encouraging the student to be “in the moment”. Meditation is a lovely way of helping to still the busy mind and step out of day to day hussle and bussle for a short while.

I offer classes in Dumfries and Galloway (currently Dumfries town and Clarencefield) but if you think a class near you would be good then let me know and I'll have a look.

So, whatever the reason you have come to yoga and my website - to lose weight, gain energy or to counteract the effects of aches and pains - whether you regard yoga as a weekly class, a science, or as a way of life, I hope you will make yoga part of your life too.

Namaste
