Celtic Yoga

Celtic Yoga Journey

Spirit of Yoga. Spirit of Place

Elemental Power was regarded with awe by early humanity and the basic natural powers of this world, earth, air, fire, water and spirit and the Realms of Earth, Sea and Sky feature in many of world’s ancient traditions. In exploring these links we can observe parallels that transcend geography.

Drawing on the spirit of Yoga and the Spirit of Place, I have been inspired, through my own spiritual practice to develop Celtic Yoga Journey. What has manifested is a Yoga which honours the traditions of the Celtic realms and subtly explores the deep connections between all spiritual traditions.  The resulting practice is profound, healing and deeply enriching to those who experience it.

The practice itself combines seasonally focused  asana, breath work and chant with Celtic meditations, blessings and gentle ritual and energy work. Each season is honoured with energetic practices to bring the body, mind and spirit into gentle alignment with the energy of the season. In addition to being a Yoga teacher and holistic therapist I am  a student of Celtic spirituality and a Celtic Reiki Master. Celtic Reiki, known as the Healing of the Trees works with the ancient Ogham system of symbols, each symbolising a particular native tree and its individual healing energy.

The Workshops have been running in Glasgow since 2009 and at the Equinoxes and Solstices and have proved very popular with Yoga practitioners and teachers. Celtic Yoga Journey continues during  2011 and will be offered in Glasgow, Edinburgh  and other UK locations. If you run a  studio and would like to offer Celtic Yoga Journey as part of your workshop programme please contact Jude  for a chat.
