Blue Lotus Yoga with Jill Amison

27/09/2026

ONE WEEK TODAY 🌿

Your pelvic floor is part of your core, your breath, your posture, your strength and your everyday wellbeing — but it’s a part of the body we often know surprisingly little about.

Next Sunday, ROOT & RISE is your opportunity to change that.

A practical, informative and empowering workshop where we’ll explore:

• How your pelvic floor actually works
• The connection between breath, deep core & pelvic floor
• Strengthening without gripping or overworking
• How everyday movement can support your pelvic health
• Practical tools and exercises you can take into real life

No shame. No awkwardness. No need to have a “problem” to benefit.

Just better understanding, better connection and a stronger foundation for the life you love.

FINAL CALL — ONE WEEK TO GO.

If you’ve been thinking about joining, this is your nudge. 💛

🌕 FULL MOON IN ARIES | 26 SEPTEMBER • 5:28PM UK

The Hunter’s Moon arrives in Aries — a full moon with a little more fire in its belly. 🔥

Traditionally, the Hunter’s Moon was a time when the light of the full moon made it easier to see and hunt prey, preparing for the winter ahead.

And perhaps there’s something beautifully symbolic in that.

A time to see clearly.
To recognise what has run its course.
To complete what needs completing.
And to burn away what is keeping you smaller than you need to be.

The medicine of this moon is about remembrance and reclamation.

✨ What are you reclaiming?
✨ What is being catalysed within you?
✨ What is inspiring you right now?
✨ And what would happen if you moved towards it — consciously, courageously and without waiting for everything to feel perfectly safe?

Aries carries the archetype of the warrior and the revolutionary — not necessarily the warrior who fights, but the part of us willing to stand up, speak out, begin again and take the first step.

It asks us to find our fire.
Our courage.
Our willingness to take a considered risk.
To step beyond the familiar and out of the comfort zone that may have quietly become a constraint.

But this isn’t about reckless action or burning everything to the ground.

It’s about clear action.

Feeling the impulse.
Listening to what is alive within you.
Then choosing what deserves your energy.

Perhaps this Full Moon is an invitation to stop asking “Am I ready?”
…and instead ask:

“What is calling me forward — and what is one clear, conscious step I can take towards it?”

Move towards what inspires you.

Not from urgency.
Not from proving.
But from a deeper knowing that your life is yours to participate in.

🔥 Find the fire.
🌕 See clearly.
🌿 Reclaim what matters.
✨ And take the next step

WANT BETTER BALANCE? STOP JUST PRACTISING STANDING ON ONE LEG. 👀

Balance is a whole-body skill.

Your brain constantly combines information from your eyes, inner ear, feet, joints and muscles to work out where your body is in space — then makes tiny adjustments to keep you upright.
So if you want to improve your balance, it makes sense to train the different systems involved.

So here are 3 simple ways to train them:

1️⃣ STRENGTHEN YOUR HIP STABILISERS 🍑

When you’re standing on one leg, your pelvis needs to stay relatively level.

Your gluteus medius and other lateral hip muscles help control the position of your pelvis and thigh bone.

That’s why controlled leg lifts and single-leg knee bends are useful.

Strength + control = better support.

2️⃣ MOVE — DON’T JUST HOLD 🦶

Real-life balance isn’t static. Walking, stepping, changing direction and reaching all require your body to continually adjust.

Your feet, ankles, knees and hips work together to keep your centre of mass controlled.

So practise balance while moving slowly and deliberately — and pay attention to your feet. They’re an important source of sensory information about the ground beneath you.

3️⃣ TAKE AWAY YOUR EYES 👀

Your vision gives your brain information about where you are in your surroundings.

Close your eyes and you remove some of that information, asking your proprioceptive and vestibular systems to contribute more.

Proprioception is your body’s sense of where your limbs and joints are in space, using information from receptors in your muscles, tendons and joints.

Just a few seconds can be enough to create a different challenge.

Always do this beside something sturdy and only if it feels safe for you.

And remember:

THE WOBBLE IS NOT FAILURE.

Your body is constantly receiving information → making an adjustment → receiving more information → adjusting again.

The wobble is part of the learning.

Don’t aim for perfectly still.

Aim to become better at responding.

💾 SAVE this for your next balance practice — and send it to someone who needs to work on theirs!

OK… CAN WE DO THIS?! 🏆💙

Something rather lovely has happened…

Blue Lotus Yoga has been nominated for Wellness Business of the Year – West Midlands in the My Local Awards! 🥳

And now the bit where I shamelessly ask for your help…

Voting opens today! 🙌

I would absolutely LOVE to see Blue Lotus make it through — but this one feels bigger than me. Because Blue Lotus isn’t really a business in the traditional sense. It’s a room full of people showing up for themselves and for each other. It’s stronger bodies, calmer minds, better balance, unexpected friendships, ridiculous amounts of laughter and those little moments when something suddenly clicks.

So this really is your award as much as mine. 💙

If you’ve ever practised with me, come on retreat or an adventure, breathed through a tricky moment, joined a workshop, shared a cuppa or simply felt that Blue Lotus is your kind of place…

I’d be SO grateful for your vote.

🗳️ Voting is open from today until 6 October.

And if you fancy sharing the post or sending the link to someone who might vote too — even better!

Because apparently my junior-school handwriting trophy needs some competition. 😂✍️🏆

Thank you for being part of this.
