Created by RYT 200hr Yoga Alliance teacher Amy Weidlich.
"I absolutely love to practice yoga in a class setting. It's always surprising and energising. But it's only one piece of the yoga/life pie.
Developing a home practice and bringing the ritual of yoga into your life in a way that specifically meets your unique needs, completes that picture. As a yoga teacher, designing a practice with you, is my calling.
The Lotus Bay Yoga philosophy is to bring yoga to you, with an offering of short courses for individuals, couples or groups of friends, that can be tailored to the needs of the practitioners.
I'm especially proud that Australia voted recently to support same-sex marriage. It's my honour to support couples or individuals on their journey towards their marriages with a yoga practice that starts the ritual ahead of their big day. Developing the tools for a sacred union starts with our own self study and I'm delighted to celebrate and honour this path.
We’re also bringing classes to the community at Driftwood Living on Anzac Pre in Little Bay, so join us on Saturday mornings at 7.45am for a connected and joyful practice."

About:
Amy Weidlich nee Frasca has practiced yoga for over 20 years. She first discovered yoga while working in documentary at SBS Television. The broadcaster would invite eminent yoga teacher Eve Grzybowski to teach each lunch time and what started for Amy as one class a week, quickly became four days a week and a way of life!
Amy continued her media career, working to create documentaries and short drama projects with some of Australia and the world's most inspired factual story tellers. She has produced, directed, written and developed documentaries for SBS, ABC, ARTE France, France 5, CBC Canada and many other broadcasters around the world.
Along this path as a filmmaker, Amy was privileged to sit with Yolgnu Senior Medicine Women and eminent Artists both Aboriginal and Australian. She sat with midwives in Bali, Hindu priests and families, muslim sisters cycling for peace in the Middle East, insightful Native Canadians and humble everyday Australians making a difference and sharing their insights. These friendships formed through the shared activity of story-telling, informed Amy's holistic view of the world and was a cherished gift she now brings to her yoga teaching.
Amy also Programmed The Australian Broadcasting Corporation's (ABC - Australia Network's) international broadcaster. Selecting programs and content for broadcast across Asia. During this time, Amy was asked by Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to represent Australia in the international strategic track 2 conference, the Asia Pacific Roundtable as an emerging leader. She is also an Asia Education Foundation Ambassador, invited to encourage young Australians to study Asian culture and language in Australian High Schools.
All the while Amy's yoga life continued to be a constant, as she travelled, surfed, explored life and fell in love with her soul mate and now husband Oliver Weidlich.
Amy and Oliver live in Little Bay, in Sydney's southern Eastern Suburbs and have a 4 year old son Max.
