Lotus Bay Yoga Autumn Schedule

Hello Beautiful Yogis! We are excited to update our new schedule for group classes at Lotus Bay Yoga at Driftwood Living. There's lots of new moments to enjoy!

We am delighted to introduce YT Jo Sinclair to Thursday evenings with her beautiful blend of meditation, pranayama and gentle yoga. Midwife and YT Veronica Hegedus with YT's Monika Marmot and Amy Weidlich are having so much fun bringing a soulful pre natal yoga practice to the offering on Monday evenings, if you know anyone with a baby bump, let them know.  

LBY founder and YT Amy Weidlich is really enjoying Mindful Meditation on Fridays, along with a deep and nourishing Yin practice on Tuesdays Mornings. We're all still keeping it in flow and joy on Wednesday Evenings and Saturdays Mornings - so drop on down soon to our home at Driftwood Living, on the roundabout in the heart of Little Bay village.

Meditation Hacks - Scribble it out

I have always been a doodler... what's that you say? It's someone that draws. When I think about it, it's quite funny because, I'm not actually that good at it. I'm not a frustrated artist (not that there's anything wrong with that) and I didn't study art in high school (well my Mum wouldn't let me because apparently I couldn't draw people well enough!). Perhaps because of this, I'm free to doodle. 

There's something about it, that's just for me.

There's no audience.

I've used it in the workplace as a dhyana or focal point, when I'm trying to concentrate on something that had become habitual but needed me to stay alert. 

Now that I'm a yogi, I realise that just like using mudras in a formal meditation sit, doodling for me is a form of active meditation. Where I can let my thinking mind rest. I can also use it to wake up my brain and employ the witness skill.

Here's something quite interesting I found online, it's just a bit of fun, but here's what your doodles might say about you.

Honestly, don't worry about what they mean, just keep on decorating post it notes and scraps of paper if it brings you a sense of space from all of the demands of your working day.

Lotus Bay Meditation - a Modern Adventure

Don’t drop the phone, stay connected... it’s all ok. But what if I ask you to be really connected to the phone? What does it feel like in your hand?

Is there a texture on your phone case?  Is the screen cracked? Does your pinky finger ache from it’s weight?

Lotus Bay Yoga and Meditation is all about getting real. What’s our real experience and how can we use meditation in our modern lives?

While exploring the proud tradition of Mindful Meditation we are grateful to the Grandmothers and Grandfathers who shared so much with us. From their open arms, I’m exploring how it feels to bring it into my modern life in small but significant ways. 

I’m discovering how to create positive habits like giving myself a break. Taking a moment. Allowing all the brilliant technology that we utilise to do what it’s supposed to do, give our minds a break. 

I’m super excited to share this journey with you all and hear about your own experiences.

love and light xx

Amy

Getting to the Heart of Yin

Summer is the perfect time to take a yin practice which clears the heart and small intestine meridians. I’ll be teaching at my home studio Botannix, this Saturday 6th Jan at 5pm a 75 min yin class which is going to explore some of the heart, body, mind connections that Yin expert Bernie Clarke discusses.

In the spirit of heart enquiry, I’ve been pondering this idea of smiling from the heart, all week this summer holiday. 💖

I first came across this in Yin teacher and TCM practitioner Cathy Keenan’s writings.

This morning I was out on the SUP at Little Bay, using my arms, strong foundations on the board, sensing the yogic core, the movement definitely felt a connection to the heart and small intestine meridians.

The ocean, the sun, the family time was certainly giving back or recharging my heart. 🏖When we think about the subtle energy of the heart we can consider it’s valve like quality. That while its role physiologically is to keep the rhythm of life, sometimes we can also mindfully open the heart values and blow off steam, or take in the gifts of friendship, family and earth/ocean connection.🌏 

Merry Christmas

May all beings every where... have a wonderful holiday season!
