Maytree Meridian

🌿 A little preview of our yoga space by the sea

This is how I’m envisioning the room at Mordialloc Sailing Club when it is transformed for Maytree Meridian classes — tables cleared, mats laid out, props ready, and the beautiful coastal outlook becoming part of the practice.

I love that the room isn’t a traditional yoga studio. It has its own character and history, and for class time it becomes a calm, welcoming space for movement, breathing and a little time to reconnect.

Classes are held on Tuesdays in Aspendale, with Chair Yoga, Lunchtime Reset Meditation and Hatha Yoga.

Mats, blocks, bolsters and blankets are available, and beginners are very welcome.

🌊 Yoga by the sea, in the heart of the local community.

Loving this Autumn weather. So is mannie the pooch, he's now allowed on the beach anytime he likes. Had to do a downward facing dog in his honour.

It's autumn now in Melbourne. I must admit I have been a bit sad about farewelling our beautiful hot summer. It's so easy to get motivated to go open water swimming or to do outdoor yoga when its warmer. So it's been a real mindset change to welcome autumn. This week, we have a full week of 20 degree days instead of the 30s or 40s, which is typical of summer in Melbourne.
So if you are like me and struggle with motivation during colder months, here are my tips for keeping fit in autumn:
🍂 wear a wet suit if swimming in open water / sea
🍂 choose yoga asanas and pranayama which are warming eg sun salutations and kapalbhati (breath of fire)
🍂 take extra warm and snuggly clothes to wear and/or get changed into. No fashionable clothes are needed!
🍂 ugg boots are great
🍂 take a Thermos of warm drinks with you
🍂 use fresh ginger and other warming spices in meals and drinks
🍂 just think there are many colder places than here
🍂have fun, and remember your endorphins are about to kick in!!!

We all experience change in our lives. Initially, it can feel daunting and a bit scary, but if we don't welcome change, life can also feel a bit mundane and predictable. To help with these big feelings, I feel reassured when I realise that we are always able to tap into inner peace. Or, in my case, a seaside inner peace. This week I finished up with my job of 20 years. The beach, swimming and yoga were my best friends. I am now looking forward to new and exciting possibilities. And if not, I have this to keep me happy.

When the new year strikes, bringing in another year, and you can't think of a useful new year's resolution, all you need to do is remember the simple act of meditation will bring you happiness and peace.

With so much harm and violence being shown to others throughout the world, we must try to keep our own hearts 'open' and continue to show kindness to others. This is often easier said than done, as we can all have triggers with big emotions. But if we can keep ourselves in check and have awareness of this, we can be bigger and stronger by showing love and kindness to others.

"Hatreds never cease through hatred in this world; through love alone, they cease. This is an eternal law." Nevada Thera

This is important because it allows us to stay connected to our own inner kindness and expressions of love.
