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.

I have been actively engaged in self healing, therapies , yoga and related researches for the past ten years, to become an holistic therapist and yoga teacher.  Today my goal is to support others in their journey, through the help of different techniques according to their needs, while adapting my knowledge to suit and what I feel is the best for my clients. I discovered yoga in 2013 and practiced intensely with an amazing teacher from India in Kerala. I realised at that moment that yoga could offer a real balance to the mind, body and soul.  The pain in my body was gone, I felt emotionally balanced and happy.  I then decided to go to India to pass my 200Hours in the beautiful mountain of Himalaya. I lived six months in the yoga school assisting my teacher during classes and deepening my knowledge. Two years later, I travelled back to India in Rishikesh and studied my 300Hours teacher training while gaining considerable knowledge of Pranayamas and Kriyas. The knowledge I share today comes from India, the root of Yoga. Every class I teach, people will reconnect with themselves more and more, leading to the rebalance of their inner space, mind, body and soul. Yoga it is also a state of mind, along with the practice of pranayama & meditation it can become a way of living. This is what I can offer to every class & student for the betterment of themselves. My classes receive high praise as people find themselves connecting to their body and their breath. I offer an opportunity to really discover yoga and its benefits in day-to-day life. People tend to feel taller, more present, happier, more relaxed, more confident; the benefits are endless. I have a deep knowledge on pranayama, asanas and their benefits, meditation, yoga nidra, yoga philosophy, yin yoga, restorative yoga, ashtanga vinyasa yoga and looking forward to completing a training yoga for pregnancy soon. “Yoga is falling in Love with yourself again & again”   Qualifications: Teacher Training 200H In India( McLeod Ganj) Chinmay yoga certified by Yoga Alliance Teacher Training 300H In India Rishikesh certified by Yoga Alliance Vipassana in Thailand Chaing Mai Thai yoga massage in Thailand Chiang Mai Reiki level 1 & 2 in India McLeod Ganj Emotionnal Freedom Technique In India McLeod Ganj
