Yoga Teacher RYT 200
Hi I’m Gillian! I’m a yoga teacher, business owner, dentist and mum of two teenage girls (the last one is definitely my hardest job!).
Why did I become a yoga teacher? Well, it was never my intention. I’ve practiced yoga on and off (sometimes more off than on if I’m honest) for the last 20 years. I first started when I was struggling with being a new dentist in a high-pressure career. At the time I did it because everyone said yoga was relaxing. To be honest I treated it like any other exercise class. It took my mind off my worries by giving me something else to think about for an hour.
In 2022, I decided to take the next step in my yoga journey. I wanted to deepen my practice and discover more about yoga, breathing and meditation. I wanted to see if it could help me even more. I took a 200-hour teacher training course with Joanne Lockhart. Jo is a very well-respected yoga trainer and yoga therapist in Milngavie. This was a huge commitment of time and a massive challenge, both physically and mentally. The course was a year-long deep study of yoga practices and it’s changed my whole view of yoga.
Yoga is so much more than an exercise class. Yoga teaches you how to find balance.
What I love to share in my classes is how yoga can help in your daily life.
