playfair jiu jitsu

QUICK HISTORY TO BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU Originally coming from Gracie family, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu started gaining mainstream popularity after first UFC tournament in 1993. Won by Royce Gracie - 3 fights all won by submission. 30 years later it is one of the fastest growing sports worldwide and the sport is now practised and taught as part of the school curriculum across Abu Dhabi along with police forces adopting it for its versality and control. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) enables a smaller player to utilise leverage in order to subdue and submit a stronger opponent. This was the founding element unique to BJJ when it was first envisaged by Helio Gracie whom many consider to be creator of what modern Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is today. All levels are welcome here at our gym in Edinburgh, you will be training with mixture of fellow beginners and more advanced players with the primary goal being to build a foundational understanding of the positional elements that are vital to BJJ. The variety of techniques covered include a full range of self defence and martial arts movements focused efficiently and safely controlling an individual. Your fitness and overall strength will be vastly improved regardless of any prior training due to the unique and fun positions taught. In addition to this you will learn how to submit your opponent with limb/arm locks and choke-hold techniques. The most important lesson you will learn from the start will be how to safely takedown/control an opponent from standing all the way to the ground, this includes learning how to "breakfall" - a set of techniques that allow a person to transition from standing to the ground without fear of injury.

sazen yoga

Hi, I'm Sarah, a 200hr registered yoga teacher.   I completed my yoga teacher training with Zenways in 2017 and have undergone additional training, including a 50hr yin yoga CPD course.   I believe yoga is for everyone and therefore my classes are suitable for all levels.  I primarily teach slow flow/hatha/yin yoga (sometimes a combination!) and change the theme of each class to suit the time of year etc.  Mindfullness and meditation are incorporated into each class alongside breathwork to help bring about a sense of balance, peace and overall wellbeing in both body and mind. 

alien spoons

Alien Spoons? Well it’s easy to remember…and some of the knife grips feel a bit alien when you first try them. I teach the traditional craft of spoon carving using local and sustainable wood to make spoons and other utensils, coat hooks, bowls, etc. I provide training and workshops for people to learn how to use just an axe, a wood carving knife and a spoon knife to make spoons and other treen. Available for small groups, 1-2-1 training and events. Workshops from two hours to two days can be tailored to your requirements. Please call to find out more. I am a member of the Green Crafts Initiative, all the wood I use is of local origin and sustainably harvested.

the daisy foundation edinburgh

Hi, I’m Kathryn and I run antenatal courses and workshops along with baby and postnatal classes in Edinburgh. I teach weekly pregnancy classes and birth and baby workshops, which focus on combining antenatal education with birth hypnosis and breathing techniques, movement for pregnancy wellbeing and active birth and are a great time of the week to focus on you, your pregnancy and your baby. Weekly classes are a great way to help you enjoy a positive pregnancy and meet up with others local to you and at a similar stage in pregnancy as you prepare for your confident birth. I also teach Tinies and Wrigglers daisy baby classes which as well as offering baby massage, yoga and sensory play are all about coming together with other new parents to meet, chat and learn – navigating the journey into parenthood together. What I particularly love is seeing expectant parents meet at antenatal classes and continue with daisy baby classes until 10 to 12 months postpartum offering a real connection and community and seeing friendships grow. My classes are with you every step of the way, as are the community of daisy parents around you connected in class and online to always be there to support you. For everyone that is looking for evidence based information, delivered live and interactive (both online and in person) in a non judgemental space with other like minded new and expectant parents you are in the right place! As a local Mum of two I know just how much of a huge transition it can be becoming a new parent and I am passionate about supporting parental wellbeing and passionately believe in the value of peer support. We’ve all heard the saying ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ and daisy is all about building your village! I trained with The Daisy Foundation in 2013 and have been teaching for daisy classes for over 7 years working with hundreds of parents and families from throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians. I am also a voluntary peer facilitator and lead Positive Birth Edinburgh, as well as being a trained Slingababy Baby Wearing Peer Supporter and a proud member of Edinburgh Birth and Baby. Details of all my upcoming classes can be found here and please do follow me on facebook and instagram where you can find out more about what’s going on, all the latest news and how to connect with our amazing community of parents. If you are thinking about joining a daisy class, course or workshop you should find all you need in the my classes page and I’m really happy to chat if you would like to find out more, have any questions or want to check any upcoming dates – just message me and I will be happy to help. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on this exciting journey, whatever stage you are at.
