Amaya Yoga

This week I taught yoga to kids for YOGAMIGOS in Perth and Mandurah. I had the best time combining yoga + story + Auslan. The kids were amazing but I don't have photos of the classes due to privacy. I do have photos of the beautiful things I could do while I was down there, including 's giant in the estuary. And dolphins, did I say dolphins?

After a few months in the wilderness of yoga teaching, I am back and loving it, how I imagined yoga teaching to be. On Tuesday, I taught a cover class in for with a peak of handstand. I left with such a buzz and hoped the clients felt the same. We even had a guest with live music. Incredible.

I've got a few other teaching gigs coming up with YOGAMIGOS, and am stoked to be a part of such a great national team. 🥰
Stay tuned for more!

I was recently in Bali, training at with and other amazing teachers. I realised how much I love and miss this practice. So, stay tuned, I'm hopefully bringing FlyHigh to sometime soon. And, I honestly can't wait!

Today, I completed my FlyHigh yoga teacher training. Yip Yip!

All ready to teach at The Yoga Shala in . Tonight we are working on the base chakra - our source of safety, trust and our roots.

Took my first class in Perth today in . It was beautiful to teach in the space one of my all-time favourite yoga teachers builds community.

I will be teaching my first Perth class on Saturday at in Kalamunda. Eek! So excited!

I love all different types of yoga, because everyone has different needs, including my own desire to be adaptable and live in a varied way.

Due to my teacher organization, I've developed a way that works for me to collect and document sequences. Each book has the classes, notes and modifications.

In the back I record when, where and to whom the sequence was taught.

I've been a school teacher for more than 20 years and am still in recovery from burnout and compassion fatigue. But it's yoga which helps me to recover.

As teachers we are constantly under stress - physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and sometimes spiritually - and in a working day we have no time for our nervous system to get the rest it deserves and desperately needs.

I've started offering a 45-minute yoga class at a local school and yesterday, one of the participants said to me: "I usually get a headache on a Wednesday morning after working all day Tuesday, but the two days that I've done yoga, I haven't had one. When you were away last week, I got a headache again..."

Ahh, the power of rest to heal our mind, body and spirit.

Taking time out of our busy profession to rest can help us be rejuvinated for our daily duties.

If you or your school (in Perth, WA or Launceston, Tas) are interested in setting something up for 2022, please let me know.

There's nothing more special than connecting with a loved one in a fun and relaxed way.
Coming to (WA) on November 26 - a delicious session for couples and friends.
Amaya Yoga is a mobile studio, you just don't know where we might turn up next!

We started at our new venue for Chair Yoga today: Body Connect in Frederick St, Launceston. It was a wonderful class, working on core strength and ending with a Warrior 2 peak!

Mental note: take some more awesome pics next time!

Amaya Yoga updated their business hours.

We had a beautiful first Chair Yoga session this morning with some willing participants. They all did wonderfully: there was balancing, there was strength and plenty of focus on the breath to keep us all in the present moment. Looking forward to the next one. ~ Alyssa
