Happy Summer Solstice! ☀️

8c993725 c62d fd7b 44e4 622a792f0d87: Happy Summer Solstice! ☀️

These long days filled with light inspire and give hope for health, wellness and healing.
Coming together in community to connect to the source of light, through celebration and ritual, creates a collective foundation.
 
This Solstice, the invitation is to move through the moments consciously, with openness and curiosity, like a child. Summer is Play, Dance, Singing, Laughter, and Gratitude for all the moments. However some may feel lost, sad, wounded, unheard or unseen. Light shows us where the shadows are, and we also know the shadow because the light is there. The Solstice reminds us life is a Polarity. May you feel Nourished, Strengthened and Empowered by the Light that surrounds you.
 
Love Hasu and All your Friends at Yoga by the Sea.

Reflecting back on this incredible adventure that we have been on together, I am Filled with Flashes, sensory impressions and memories of all the lives that impacted and contributed to the growth and evolution of this community yoga center. From its first inception in the machine room  downstairs in the Inside Passage Woodworking school in 2005, to the partnership of Lyne and I, raising our sons and trying to make sense of day-to-day life, we just wanted a place to practice and teach Yoga!! And now the collectively shared space with many wonderful, incredible offerings.

We opened the doors with a drum circle, and African dance workshop  in April 2006. To all the teachers, therapists, volunteers, students, and community members who have given their love, attention and energy to cultivate, nourish and establish the center, thank you!

Let’s celebrate all the friendships that have been created, all the inner work, the healing, the music, the art, the movement, bodywork, kids’ classes, community circles, lectures from Women’s Health to astrology, to tarot cards, drumming circles, African dance, concerts, Ayurveda, immersive international teachers, trainings and programs, all the teachers and mentors, the parties and community events, all the pivoting of the pandemic, all the laughter, all the tears, the births, the deaths and of course LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF YOGA and MEDITATION!!!

This village raised this Yoga Center!!

Gratitude runs deep and flows constantly, we are filled with Grace for this opportunity to play and BE in life with you! 

From our Heart to yours!!

Love always,

Hasu and the entire Yoga by the Sea Family, past and present!

There is a force field that wraps around Earth, and is the foundation of all creation and life. Today, and for thousands of years, the energy of women has created and sustained life throughout every country and continent.

This has been expressed as mothers, care providers, educators, farmers, community leaders, doctors, activists, scientists, economists, lawmakers, artists, healers, builders, engineers, spiritual leaders, sisterhood, friendship, and so much more.

Love Your Friends Month!

1703939c 3b0d f39a 0a7b 157a6c70cc27: Love Your Friends Month!

February has become known as the month we focus on Love. This month at Yoga by the Sea is Love Your Friends Month! Smaller community is one of the blessings of living on the Sunshine Coast. Neighbours help out just because , and there is always someone willing to give a helping hand. We are stronger together, than as individuals. Even when there’s confusion or misunderstanding, friendship encourages listening, patience, acceptance, and  forgiveness. These are the same qualities experienced in community – the polarity of being vulnerable, and supported. For the remainder of February, Yoga
By The Sea is inviting you to Bring your Friend to Yoga. We have created a Bring your Friend for Free pass. Bring a friend with you to Yoga, introduce them to what helps you through the day, inspires you, creates balance,  peace, energy, and support. We can’t think of a better gift!!  Love your Friends!

December is the Perfect Polarity

image: December is the Perfect Polarity

Folks are flooding back into the studio
Faces and smiles we have not seen for a long night… 
We have missed you.  
Welcome Home!

In the Northern Hemisphere, December is the perfect Polarity
Being the Light in the Dark is very important at this time of year.
And seeing the Light and the Dark in the same light is a gift. 

It brings to us the Yule Moon or the Long Night Moon
The Darkest and Brightest longest nights of the Year
Feelings of Hibernation and Introversion
Deep Contemplation, Reflection and Introspection.
As well as precious moments with Family,  friends and community connection
Giving and Receiving.
The indwelling Hearth and Home.

YBTS peoples choice award2022

A great Honour

Thanks again to our community in Roberts Creek, the Sunshine Coast and beyond for voting us the Favourite Yoga Studio for the second year in a row. It is a great honour to be recognized as a shining light in our corner of this planet.

We at Yoga by the Sea, have been blessed with 16 +  years in this growing community and are in the company of many brilliant, dedicated Yoga and Pilates mentors and guides who have been consistently present over the last two decades right alongside us.

Kalijo, Om Sweet Om, Coast Flow and several individual teachers, who teach out of community centers, senior centers, schools, hospitals, gyms, via zoom, private home studios, and halls.

It’s an honor to support our community as a beacon. We are all equally shining the light of health and wellness through connection to the Body, and the vital life-force that animates us, and effects every experience of Life.

Special thanks to the Coast Reporter for organizing the event.

When one is acknowledged, we are all acknowledged.

With Love always, 

Hasu and all your friends at Yoga by the Sea.

Peace comes from Within and only happens Now

Welcome October

Each Month we will bring attention to a Chakra ( Energy Center) that correlates to a Nerve Plexus along the main Energy and Nerve channel, the Shushumna  or Spinal column.  To cultivate and know Balance, Integration, Harmony and Bliss. As with Intentions, it is planting a Seed, what you want in the end must be present in the beginning.

This month we begin with the Root Chakra located at the base of  the Spine.

This center is about Groundedness, foundation and security. It reflects the relationship we have to our survival, shelter, food, water, sleep, sustenance, and money.

How do we tend to our Home, the one we embody and the shelter we live in?

Earth Element, Reflected through the colors of Red, Browns. 
With A balanced Root Chakra (Muladhara)
You feel safe and secure
Our daily tasks seem effortless
You have no doubts about your place in the world.
You have a sense of belonging.
Things happen for you, whether it be with relationships, money or with a career.
You are in alignment with the world and not against it!

Some Physical symptoms of an imbalance:
Weight-loss/gain
Over or under-active sex drive
Poor immune system
Anemia
Depression
Laziness
Irritable bowel syndrome

How to return balance?

Scan through your relationships to survival, shelter, food, water, sleep, sustenance, and money, and pick one area that you would like to focus on this month to bring a greater sense of balance and integration.

Maybe placing some attention and give some love to the home, healthy nourishment, sleep patterns, exercise, or finances. 

Keep note of what you notice so you can see the shifts that are happening for you.

Love, Hasu and all your friends at Yoga by the Sea
