Rotorua, New Zealand Hi! I look forward to seeing you on the mat!

I'm Amy and Bliss Yoga and Adventures is my dream that I've been thinking about for many years! I started my Yogic journey about 15 years ago in Wellington, New Zealand when a friend invited me to join her at our first ever yoga class. We experienced shaky arms, shaky legs and feeling like a pretzel, in addition to also giggling about the difficulty of the class (even though we were relatively fit

!), but when that first class was over, I realized that I had experienced something new and extraordinary and that my life was forever changed. I continued practicing at the same studio and then as I relaxed in Savasana during my final class before I moved from Wellington, I received a strong feeling that I should go to India to become a Yoga Teacher. Over the next several years, I practiced with renowned teachers from around the world, attended 3-10 day long yoga festivals and was exposed to a variety of different yoga styles and practices. In 2018, I finally decided that it was the right time to take a pilgrimage to Rishikesh, India to become a Certified Yoga Teacher. Since then, I have also immersed myself into the world of Meditation by participating in and serving on various 10 day silent Meditation retreats. My classes are unique every time I teach them. I like to provide a calm, safe space to help allow you to go deep within yourself and have a profound, moving experience. The classes usually include settling in and grounding into the practice, setting an intention for the practice, bringing the focus inward and to the breath (Pranayam) , movement through Asanas (poses), absorbing the effects of the practice during final relaxation (Savasana) and then a short Meditation. Another of my greatest passions is Paddleboarding! I first stepped on a Paddleboard (SUP) about 11 years ago in California and I was instantly hooked! The calm and serenity that I feel while I Paddleboard is so easeful and natural...and it's also a great workout while being out in nature!! All great reasons why I love it and will sometimes Paddleboard for hours! Combining 2 of my passions of Yoga and Paddleboarding only seemed natural and so I also offer SUP Yoga Classes! These classes are more challenging than just doing yoga on land, but it's a great way to fully release thoughts because your focus is more on balance and the poses. (These classes are very weather dependent and are best scheduled during calm wind conditions.)

I hope everyone is safely at home.

Here are a few gentle, grounding tips to keep you feeling safe and steady through the storm 🤍

Wind can feel unsettling because it represents powerful, unpredictable change and a feeling of being ungrounded.

To stay grounded indoors, focus on creating stability for your body and mind. Physically connect with solid elements—touch water or metal, wear natural fibers, or visualize roots anchoring you into the earth. Calm your mind with sensory practices like the 5-4-3-2-1 method or simple chores. You can also shape your environment by closing windows and curtains, using calming scents, listening to slow, earthy music, or tending to houseplants.

Grounding yoga postures can help bring your energy down and reconnect you to your body, especially slow, steady poses that emphasize contact with the floor:

💫 Mountain Pose: Stand tall with feet firmly planted, focusing on weight evenly distributed through your soles.
💫 Child’s Pose: Rest your body toward the ground to create a sense of safety and containment.
💫 Forward Fold: Let your head hang heavy to calm the nervous system and release mental tension.
💫 Legs Up the Wall: A restorative pose that soothes anxiety and slows racing thoughts.
💫 Seated Forward Bend: Encourages introspection and grounding through stillness.
💫 Cat-Cow Stretch: Slow, rhythmic movement to regulate breath and settle the mind.

Food can also support grounding. In windy conditions, favor warm, nourishing meals—soups, stews, and cooked dishes. Root vegetables, grains like rice or oats, healthy fats, warming spices, and proteins provide stability, while nuts, seeds, and warm dairy add comfort. Eat regularly, choose cooked over raw foods, and slow down during meals to reinforce a sense of calm and balance.
