Expressing my gratitude to our community and teaching staff for their heartfelt understanding as I take bereavement leave, after the passing of my father. 🙏🙏

For those that have shared this path, it is one known to be mixed with grief and practicalities.😓 I am blessed to have had him in my life and to be there as he drew his last breaths of his 96 years of Earthside living.

The studio will be running as usual, with only 2 classes being omitted from the schedule this week.

Kindness and blessings always

Strong bones aren’t built overnight… they’re practised.

Yoga isn’t just about flexibility.
Weight-bearing poses like standing balance, gentle lunges and supported strength work help maintain bone density, muscle tone and stability as we age.

Think of yoga as your daily investment in staying upright, independent and confident on your feet.

Strong body. Steady mind. Future you says thank you.

Come move, strengthen, and thrive.

A Gentle Studio Reminder 🌿

As we move through the busy summer season, our classes are filling quickly and our free community offerings are often fully booked with long waitlists.

With this beautiful growth, we’ve noticed an increase in late cancellations and no-shows, which means others miss out on a place.

To honour the energy, time, and care that goes into holding these classes — and to be fair to fellow students — we’re updating our studio etiquette and cancellation policy:

• No-show for free community classes: $25 fee
• Late cancellation: minimum 20 minutes’ notice required
• Late cancellation fee (under 20 mins): $10 fee

This is not about penalty — it’s about respecting the offering, the teachers, the studio, and one another.

If you book a space, please treat it as a commitment 🙏

Thank you for helping us keep Lotus a thoughtful, accessible, and supportive space for all.
Please feel free to review any future bookings that you have made so as to avoid any charges if you are unable to attend.

We’re so grateful for your understanding and continued care of our community.

Smell the Roses.
This weeks class at Lotus Yoga Studio is an invitation to slow down and “smell the roses,” offering a mindful, gently paced practice that emphasizes presence over striving. You can expect unhurried transitions, longer pauses in simple shapes, and familiar flows explored with greater awareness, allowing space to notice subtle sensations, ease, and sweetness.

Drawing on yoga philosophy such as contentment (santosha), non-grasping (aparigraha), and the balance of effort and ease, the practice encourages soft gazes, relaxed breathing, and opening without forcing. A simple mantra may be woven throughout to support arriving fully in the moment, and the class will close with a longer, nourishing relaxation and a guided meditation focused on appreciation and sensory awareness, leaving you grounded, refreshed, and more attuned to the beauty of what’s already here. 🌹
