25.01.2022 Only a few more weeks of Wednesday’s Wallacia classes before the Christmas break. If you’re curious to try a class, nows the time to do it! Come and join us at 6pm in the Wallacia Hall. Send me a message if you’d like further details all welcome

24.01.2022 Today’s Kids yoga class had a focus on a part of our body not given much love, thought or appreciation..... our feet!! We discussed about how many bones, joints and ligaments are in our feet and exercised and massaged our feet, showing them some love! We isolated movements into our toes and then played a game of Toe-ga, where we had to pick up pom-poms with our toes! Unfortunately I was carried away with excitement and didn’t get a photo of the game, but we also used the pom-poms to create designs, pictures and groupings on our mats. Of course we ended with relaxation, calming our bodies and minds. #toega #littlelotusstudio #pompomfun #kidsyoga #kidsneedyogatoo #yogafortoes

23.01.2022 My little mini yogis explored their favourite poses at this afternoon’s class, the last one for the term and for the first time all term I actually remembered to take some photos! They made little pipe cleaner people in their favourite pose and wrote down how the pose makes them feel. We had a great time I love their enthusiasm and the fun little conversations that we have each week. #kidsyoga #kidsyogateacher #kidsyogaclass #kidsneedyogatoo #yogaposes #littlelotusstudio #favouriteposes

23.01.2022 Now off to celebrate the end of the term with the beautiful mums and their bubs I’m excited that we can resume our end of term celebrations after putting them on hold during covid.

22.01.2022 Our final yoga class for the year will be at MG Activ on Tuesday night from 7-8pm. Join us as we move with grace, connect with our body and breath, open our hearts to love and gratitude and let go of anything we no longer need to hold on to, plus have a bit of fun along the way! Bring some zen into this holiday silly season! #littlelotusstudio #yogaforeverybody #yogaforlife #yoga #mgactiv #lastclassfortheyear #2020peaceout

22.01.2022 Today is international gratitude day! If you’ve never heard of this and what it means, start by making a quick list, on paper, on your phone or just in your mind, of all the things you can be grateful for. Think of all the small things and continue up to all the big things, people, situations and factors in your lifestyle that you’re grateful for. In positive psychology research, gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people... feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships. People feel and express gratitude in multiple ways. This could be the start of a wonderful shift in your wellbeing #grateful #internationalgratitudeday #whatareyougratefulfor #attitudeofgratitude #positivepsychology #wellbeing #littlelotusstudio See more

22.01.2022 Reposting from a page I follow because this particularly resonates with me today. I am currently sitting on my bed flipping through my February/March copy of Australian Yoga Journal. There are a ton of other things I ‘should’ be doing around the house, but I’m tired. I’m listening to my body and just stopping for a bit to rest, read and relax on my bed. Everything can wait, it’ll still be there later. Take time to rest and relax when you’re tired and your body needs it. Let go of expectations you have on yourself. #selfcare #listentoyourbody #restandrelax #littlelotusstudio #australianyogajournal

21.01.2022 Preparing some cute little affirmations in bottles for this week’s kids yoga class. I love peppering our classes with meaningful messages all rolled into a fun yoga class! Only 2 weeks of kids classes left for the term. It’s flown by! #kidsyoga #kidsyogateacher #kidsneedyogatoo #iloveteachingkidsyoga #littlelotusstudio #affirmations #messageinabottle

20.01.2022 Using the school holidays to catch up on jobs. Next job is to prepare more eye pillows for sale! If you haven’t already got one of our lavender eye pillows for relaxation, what’s stopping you?!? Which fabrics should I cut for the next batch for my seamstress to sew? #lavendereyepillow #lavenderrelaxation #organicflaxseed #eyepillowsforsale #eyepillowsandyogafixeverything #littlelotusstudio #accupressurepoints

20.01.2022 This article is a good explanation about why I always remind people to practice within your own range of motion, not to compare yourself to the person next to you and that yoga is for everybody, regardless of shape, size, age or any other factors! The poses are just one of eight parts of the complete yogic practice. Once you delve in you’ll discover so much! https://www.bodyandsoul.com.au//7fac21ea30a2c64a160a12427c

20.01.2022 10 red rose eye pillows are ready to go to their new home! A lovely local customer who is going to gift a beautiful collection of locally made products to her family and friends, with our eye pillows amongst the collection! What a thoughtful and meaningful gift to give. I love that local products are being used. If you’re interested in ordering a larger quantity like this customer, we can organise a bulk discount for you. Get in touch to find out how we can help. These eye pillows make great presents and come in a range of colours/patterns. #eyepillows #lavender #lavendereyepillow #christmaspresents #ethicallysourced #handmadewithlove #littlelotusstudio

18.01.2022 Wow! This is interesting research from a recent study.... https://www.news-medical.net//Yoga-could-help-improve-symp

18.01.2022 Opening bookings for Term 4! Send me a message if you'd like more details. Numbers are capped for social distancing requirements. Never tried yoga before? That's fine! Anyone with a body can do yoga, it's not just for 'bendy' people, 'skinny' people, 'young' people or any other category! Anyone can start yoga at any time of your life. It's a great way to de-stress, stretch your muscles, connect with your body and breath and can promote deeper sleep, plus we have a beautiful little community of like-minded people to connect with :-) The chats we have before, after and during yoga are just as good as the practice.

17.01.2022 Sharing from another page how good is savasana/relaxation/nap time at the end of yoga practice?!? The body’s little recharge and restore, ready to continue on this journey. #savasana #savasanaismyfavorite #relaxationtime #littlelotusstudio #handsupifyoufallasleepinyoga #almostalways #theresalwayssomeone

17.01.2022 A great kids yoga class this afternoon with a focus on birds of all types, shapes, sizes, colours and abilities. A wonderful reminder to our little yogis that you don’t have to change or make yourself into something you’re not to stand out. The right people will notice you, no matter what. Be yourself, everyone else is taken. #selflove #beyourself #feathersforphoebe #kidsyogateacher #kidsyoga #kidsyogaisfun #feathers #extendedexhale #blowingfeathers

16.01.2022 A great explanation of the psoas, how it works and ways to help it stretch and maintain good flexibility. A good reason to have lunges and half monkey pose in this weeks classes.

16.01.2022 Last week of kids yoga for term 3! We’ve learnt and practiced so many poses throughout the term, now we’ll get to choose and practice our favourites #kidsyogaandmindfulness #kidsyogaposes #kidsneedyogatoo #treepose #treeposeismyfavoritepose #balance #mindfulness #littlelotusstudio

16.01.2022 Getting into the spirit of Halloween for this afternoon’s kids yoga class!! Tattoos and decorations. Can’t wait to show you the whole set up! #halloween #halloweenyoga #kidsyogateacher #kidsyoga #kidsneedyogatoo #gettingintothespirit #littlelotusstudio

15.01.2022 Today’s kids yoga class was lots of fun. We sang an Aussie version of the 12 days of Christmas with poses to go with it, danced to carols and played musical yogi statues and then topped it off with a game of pass the parcel, lovingly prepared by Sieanna, one of our beautiful yogis who couldn’t make it today but made sure her mum brought the parcel along for the other kids to enjoy. What a great way to wrap up the year! I love kids yoga. I hope the kids love it too. Wishing all these beautiful children and their families a very happy Christmas! See you in 2021. #kidsyoga #christmasyoga #kidsyogateacher #kidsneedyoga #teachinglifelongskills #mindfulness #christmasyogaposes

15.01.2022 Savasana/Corpse/Relaxation pose counts as yoga! This, we can all relate to Happy Monday, looking forward to tonight’s class at @mgactiv with the team. Ready to stretch and limber our muscles. Tag a friend who springs to mind when you saw this pic. #savasana #savasanaismyfavourite #relaxationisessential #yogaeveryday #yogaeverydamnday #littlelotusstudio

14.01.2022 Resharing from a page I follow, because I love the message. It compliments the passage I’ve been reading in this weeks relaxation at the end of class. #selfcare #onestepatatime #selfcompassion #bekindtoyourself #littlelotusstudio

12.01.2022 Wow that’s a huge yoga class!!!

12.01.2022 Our second kids yoga workshop was smaller than the first but equally as successful! A great group of little yogis who enjoyed learning about their breath and lung capacity and how different breaths make their bodies feel, stretching and strengthening their muscles through poses and then relaxing for the conclusion of the class. We made mindfulness chatterboxes and new friends! I hope they had as much fun as I did! #kidsneedyogatoo #kidsyogateacher #kidsyogaworkshop #movement #breathe #learningisfun #kidsyogaandmindfulness #kidsyoga #kidsyogateacher #littlelotusstudio

11.01.2022 Today’s preschool yoga fun was all about birds! We spoke about how birds have feathers and hatch out of eggs and how some birds can’t fly, and pretended to be penguins and emus, while other birds can balance on one leg like flamingos and eagles , and some others like to sleep like a pigeon ! We blew the feathers and tried to catch them and also tickled our nose, arms and toes with them! Lots of fun, as always! Penrith Early Learning Centre

11.01.2022 I’m reading this passage during relaxation throughout this week as I feel that so often we are caught up with trying to strive to achieve when we really can just do our best and leave the rest. It’s okay to not feel ready or have all the answers, sometimes we just have to take that leap in the first place and just show up. Be gentle on yourself and your expectations of what you ‘should’ be achieving. Take it easy and just be as you are. #scottsabile #quotestoliveby #quotesaboutlife #youareenough #justshowup #littlelotusstudio

11.01.2022 I’m reading this poem during relaxation in my classes this week. It was written by Persian poet, Rumi and has been around since the 13th century, so you may have come across it before. It reminds us to check in with our feelings and the internal emotional dialogue and acknowledge and welcome whatever arises, as you would an unexpected guest. Sometimes it can be difficult and uncomfortable, but these times might be preparing us for something new. I hope you can appreciate the message as I do #rumi #theguesthouse #rumiguesthouse #poetry #relaxation #welcomeallemotions #welcomeallemotionstoyourhouse #littlelotusstudio

10.01.2022 Teaching the little yogis about how and when they should be listening to their inner voice today, as well as giving them strategies to shift the tune if it’s not a positive one playing. Affirmations are a good place to start, even for us adults! When was the last time you gave yourself a wrap and told yourself that you are amazing, kind, resilient, a great singer, good listener, adaptable, supportive or any other wonderful quality that you have?!? After the day at school that I’ve had today, these affirmations are just as much for me as they are for the little yogis! We’re going to come up with great poses to supplement our affirmations and say them loud and clear! #affirmations #changetoapositivetune #innervoice #giveyourselfcredit #littlelotusstudio #kidsyoga #kidsyogateacher #kidsneedyogatoo

10.01.2022 Shared a fun and dynamic yoga class with a beautiful little collection of mini yogis this morning in our kids yoga workshop. We discussed the importance of the breath and our ability to calm the breath during times of anxiety and nervousness. We went on an alphabet journey of poses and then an imaginative trip to the beach using our poses before finally resting and relaxing in savasana. Sometime in there we made a mindfulness chatterbox and shared some morning tea treats. such a great group of kids. Looking forward to doing it all again next week! There’s still spaces in our Thursday workshop if you’re looking for something new to introduce to your children. Reach out for details. #kidsyoga #kidsneedyogatoo #kidsyogateacher #kidsyogaclass #mindfulness #littlelotusstudio #balancingelephant

09.01.2022 Always learning.... gained some more knowledge and a deeper understanding of ailments, illnesses and challenges facing senior members of our yoga community. So many wonderful courses to enhance my skills, understanding and teaching practices in yoga. This one was all online, which I’ve got to admit, is more challenging for me than face to face learning, but I got there in the end #seniorsyoga #iyta #iytatraining #certificateforthecollection #mumwillbeproud #onlinelearningishard

09.01.2022 Tomorrow’s the last day of our preschool Penrith Early Learning Centre and Wallacia classes for the term! I’m looking forward to the holidays to take some time to replenish my energy for term two. I’m hoping to bring kids classes back to Wallacia. Please comment or send me a message if you think this is something I should consider. I’m gauging interest at this stage....

08.01.2022 How good does it feel to know you’ve helped another human being?? Yesterday I reached a great milestone in making my 50th donation! Most have been whole blood, as I started donating after school when I was in year 12. After a decade off, having and raising babies during that extremely busy period, I’ve jumped back in to making it a regular part of my giving back to the community. I’ve donated plasma probably half a dozen times or so amongst the 50 donations. If you’ve never donated before, why not give it a go. Not only do you get that feel good hit, but the tasty treats in the refreshment room are also a great reward! #donateblood #lifebloodau #donatetoday #feelgood #givingback #thankful #littlelotusstudio

08.01.2022 Here’s a few photos from kids yoga set up tonight. I always kick myself for not taking any photos during the classes, especially when they all went to great efforts to dress up! We applied a range of gruesome tattoos and had fun turning chair pose in witches flying on a broomstick and warrior 3 into flying bats among others. So much fun can be had with a little imagination and creativity! Thanks to all the parents who assisted with costuming. If you took a photo of their gross tattoos, feel free to add it in the comments #halloween #halloweenyoga #kidsyoga #kidsyogateacher #kidsneedyogatoo #littlelotusstudio #creativity #imagination #play

07.01.2022 If you’ve never experienced relaxation at the end of yoga with the addition of a lavender eye pillow, then you’re missing out! As one happy customer said ‘It’s like a retreat for my eyes’ Do yourself a favour and take your relaxation experience to the next level. Perfect also for insomnia sufferers, as the lavender calms and soothes whilst the gentle weight provides pressure on the eyelids and the acupressure points to help promote the relaxation response, allowing you to s...lip into a deeper rest mode, helping with physiological responses of ‘rest & digest’. These eye pillows are handmade by my mum and filled with Victorian lavender and organic flax. They feature a washable cover to make keeping them makeup free and sanitary easy to do! We currently have 4 of our most popular patterns to choose from. #lavendereyepillow #savasana #relaxation #relaxationtime #relaxationmode #relaxationisthebest #littlelotusstudio #organiclavender #organicflax #handmade #handmadewithlove #savasanaismyfavorite #yogabliss #blissfacilitator See more

05.01.2022 Hehe I had to giggle at this because I get my lefts and rights confused so often during my classes. I’m the worst and quite often have to be corrected who else is bad with their lefts and rights? Please tell me I’m not alone! #leftorright #icanttellmyleftfromright #confused #terribleatgivingdirections #littlelotusstudio

04.01.2022 We’re ready for our last kids yoga class of the year!! So excited to go through some Christmas themed poses with the kids to finish off our year. #christmasyoga #kidsyoga #kidsyogateacher #kidsneedyogatoo #kidsyogaposes #aussiechristmasyoga

03.01.2022 What a beautiful bride! I had the pleasure today of dropping by our local church to see lovely Clare wed the love of her life. Clare and I have a history, I first met her many years ago as I was her Photography teacher in high school. Since then I’ve run into her a few times when I’ve had my eyes tested at the optometrist and more recently she started attending my yoga class at Leonay, so I’m back to being her teacher again! It was a pleasure to be of service and help her with her shoes outside the church. I wish Clare and Roy all the very best for a happy, full and love filled life together. Congratulations to you both.

02.01.2022 A reminder to all my wonderful Wednesday @ Wallacia people (did you like my alliteration?!) to book your space in the hall in time for classes to resume next week! Bookings are confirmed through the term's payment. If there is anyone who's struggling financially, please don't feel that you have to miss out, arrangements can be made.

01.01.2022 So looking forward to Term 4 Kids Yoga!! I’ve so many exciting things planned for classes this term! We’ve got themes such as Halloween and Christmas to add into the mix along with more serious topics. I can’t wait to see all the little yogis on Wednesday! There’s still space in the class if you’re thinking about adding a dose of mindfulness, physical activity, nurturing your little persons mental health and making new friends whilst having fun to the weekly schedule. Classes are taught by me, an experienced school teacher and yoga teacher. I am also a registered Active Kids provider, so if you’ve got an unused voucher, this makes it as affordable as a coffee each week! Let me know if you’d like any further information Shannon
