Lola Yoga, LLC

Lola Yoga has relocated to Middle Georgia, no longer serving Southern California, unless the services coincide with any future travels. Amanda Lola, Founder and CEO, is a certified Hatha Yoga Instructor. She has training in the following areas: Meditation, Gong & Sound Healing, the Chakra System, Intuitive Insight, Kundalini Yoga, Astrology & Tarot, and how prana (life force) moves through the body.

In her late teens, Amanda began what she now knows as her Spiritual Journey. It started with the idea to heal some low back issues through Pilates. Pilates and core strength led to Yoga. After practicing Asana for more than ten years, she embarked on teacher training with YogaWorks. Almost simultaneously, she began a Phase One of the Gong Avatar Training, with Sotantar Suraj in Southern California. Currently in the third phase of this Gong Avatar training, she teaches Montessori to Preschool and Kindergarten children during the day, practices Yoga, Meditation, Art, especially painting and drawing, and Sound Healing. She offers classes via Lola Yoga.

Yoga Weekend

          It seems to me that if we hold it (the poses), time can stand still. Moments like this can happen. From time to time, even for the slightest split second. Some call it peak experience, others in the spiritual Yoga community may refer to it as Samadhi. In Buddhism, maybe we call it Satori. It can happen in a glimpse of a moment, or for an extended period of time, as if life is happening, but not a whole lot of changes are occurring. Or maybe they are-maybe we are making them happen.
          Maybe it's just that when we are looking, unnoticeable, small, subtle changes are taking place. Maybe we are creating our own Universe? On such a scale that we can't always notice the effects right away. Then after a seemingly innocuous weekend, past lines and clear definitions arise. Nothing spectacular happened, on the surface. A beautiful family member was visiting this weekend. Bike rides on the Back Bay while someone was practicing Yoga, cooking dinner while I tended to the garden, long heart to hearts that come too few and far between, and a sighing husband not even pretending to listen anymore. A crying baby while they hold Savasana.
          Who knew that holding a pose like Virabhadrasana II (Warrior 2) for what seemed like an eternity could change my life. But it did, little by little. In fact our lives are changing all around us, all the time. Sometimes I forget to notice (okay let's be honest, there may have been large chunks of time-years even) that my resistance to notice myself and life around me, had changed.
         Kinda like now when my young toddler daughter has just tossed her lunch all over the floor and our friend, our pet cat, has a knack for upsetting trash bins. Sometimes we try to force things to happen in any moment. Sometimes we need to just let go, breathe, and begin taking our baby steps in the right direction.
         Present moment,  awareness of the Now. Do you have any moments like this? Moments that seem to be changing your life. Or could it be that life is changing on account of your actions?
~Namaste~
