She obtained her yoga teacher certification from Koh Phangan, Thailand where she was immersed in a diverse yoga community, including mindfulness meditation and Ayurvedic healing therapies. She utilizes her knowledge of the human body and wellness therapies to bring you a well-rounded yoga practice that is unique to your needs. Dr. Sydnee has the ability to break down each yoga asana’s muscular and health benefit while also flowing through a class.

Sydnee’s background in medicine and healing arts together will bring you an unparalleled experience in both mind and body.

Dr. Sydnee will be a offering semi-private series at The Lake House beginning with a Vinyasa / Yin & Meditation series in November. Please see below for details:

* New Semi-Private Series * 

VINYASA / YIN & MEDITATION

Dates: 11/1, 11/8, 11/15, 11/22 (Fridays)
Time: 8:00 AM
Location: The Lake House

Cost: $48

Vinyasa yoga is based around basic postures (asanas) that are linked together in a fluid manner as a celebration of movement, breathing and feeling the total presence, ease and effort simultaneously. The emphasis is on synchronizing movement with breath to create a smooth, strong and mesmerizing experience.

Yin yoga is a wonderful salve for our over-stimulated, over-booked, chaotic days. It works to reach deep inside, beneath the superficial muscles, intended to target joints and connective tissue with long holds supplemented by breath work and meditation. This deep practice is gentle yet intense, helping to increase the range of motion and stimulate energy flow. Emotionally, yin yoga enhances our ability to stay with our experiences, in stillness.

Put together, Vinyasa and Yin make a powerful duo. The dynamic yang style of vinyasa flow helps strengthen and invigorate the body and mind while yin provides balance.

Meditation lets you become more awake and more purposeful about your actions. The practice of meditation teaches you how to respond, rather than react, to situations in your life.

Join Dr. Sydnee in a yoga practice that enhances your life both on and off the mat.  For more information or to register, please email Dr. Sydnee Tolpa at drsydneetolpa@gmail.com.

Please note, space in the semi-private series listed above are limited and preregistration is required. There is a maximum of 10 participants. The cost for the series of classes is $48 per participant. These workshops are not included in the monthly class pass. The fee will be charged to your Property Owner/ Club Member / Guest Amenity account and there are no refunds. The classes are available to Seabrook Island Property Owners, Seabrook Island Club members, and guests staying on Seabrook Island.

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Sydnee Tolpa to Seabrook Island and The Lake House Team!

Raising Eastern Bluebirds on Seabrook Island

Posted on October 12, 2019 by

As previously reported in The Seabrooker, October 2019

Most of your drives around our island in the summer will turn up a few Eastern Bluebirds sitting on a fence post or perched atop a nest box. They call out in a short, wavering voice and abruptly drop to the ground after an insect. Marvelous birds to capture in your binoculars or camera lens, male Eastern Bluebirds are a brilliant royal blue on the back and head, and warm red-brown on the breast. Blue tinges in the wings and tail give the grayer females an elegant look.

Full Moon Bonfire – Sunday, October 13 – Boardwalk 1

Posted on October 11, 2019 by

 

Full moon flickr Mar 2017Sunday, October 13, 2019
Sunset – 6:50 pm
Moonrise – 7:08 pm
High Tide – 8:59 pm

Full Hunter’s MoonLet’s celebrate the onset of cooler weather with a bonfire on the beach shared with friends. We will start the bonfire near sunset on Sunday October 13 and it will need to be out by 10:00 pm. The bonfire will be between Boardwalks 1 and 2.

To keep things simple, each person brings what you want: food, drinks, chairs and a stick of firewood for a big bonfire. Nothing will be provided but a beautiful beach, a bonfire and, hopefully, a full moon. Please note, all that debris from Dorian is not yet ready for the bonfire so bring aged wood instead.

Put these dates for future Full Moon Bonfires on your calendar:

Tuesday, November 12
Thursday, December 12
Friday, January 10

There’s always plenty of room on the beach for everyone, so invite a friend or bring your house guests.

The International Space Station is scheduled for a Fly-by at 7:14 pm so hopefully the timing will allow for a wave to our astronauts.

Among the “National Holidays” listed for Sunday (https://nationaltoday.com/october-holidays/) is “National M&M day”. Monday is Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples’ Day…all good reasons to celebrate.

How the Full Moon got its name

Per Old Farmers Almanac (https://www.almanac.com/content/full-moon-names):

October: Full Hunter’s Moon or Full Harvest Moon – This full Moon is often referred to as the Full Hunter’s Moon, Blood Moon, or Sanguine Moon. Many moons ago, Native Americans named this bright Moon for obvious reasons. The leaves are falling from trees, the deer are fattened, and it’s time to begin storing up meat for the long winter ahead.

Because the fields were traditionally reaped in late September or early October, hunters could easily see fox and other animals that come out to glean from the fallen grains. Probably because of the threat of winter looming close, the Hunter’s Moon is generally accorded with special honor, historically serving as an important feast day in both Western Europe and among many Native American tribes.

I found another web site (http://newsclipper.hubpages.com/hub/The-Moon-Facts-Trivia-and-Folklore) This site also says the Cherokee Indians called it the Harvest Moon and the English Medieval name was Blood Moon.

Another web site (https://www.space.com/16830-full-moon-calendar.html) says the Chinese call it Kindly Moon.

Kiawah Triathlon Traffic This Weekend

Posted on October 11, 2019 by

The Kiawah Triathlon is Sunday, October 13, 2019.  It consists of a .7-mile swim, 25.1-mile bike race, and 6.1 run. The swim and run part of the Triathlon will be within the Kiawah properties, but the bike race will go up to Freshfields and back. The event starts at 7:30 am with the swim and then the bike race follows after that.

Bikers will be traveling from Kiawah, through the traffic circle at the Freshfields roundabout and back to Kiawah. There will be deputies at all entrances of the roundabout to help with traffic, so expect some longer than normal travel times. The first biker will be there around 8:50 am and they will continue to arrive until around 10:30 am.

Kristen Lococo, Nature Program Manager, Kiawah Island has provided us with the following hints:

How to Safely Pass a Cyclist on the Road:

  1. Slow Down– Ensure that you have enough time to fully access the road and traffic conditions prior to executing a safe pass. Lower speed also gives you more time to react, should conditions change.
  2. Look and Wait for Other Traffic– You’ll need space in the next lane in order to pass, so look for a safe gap in that traffic and wait as required. Some bicyclists will hug the right edge of the road in an effort to stay as far away from other traffic- don’t misinterpret this as an invitation to pass in the same narrow lane.
  3. Change Lanes to Pass– Once you have an adequate gap in traffic in the next lane, move completely into that lane. This will give the bicyclist a safe buffer and the room they need to maneuver for maintaining balance and avoiding surface hazards.
  4. Do Not Honk at Athletes– If the need does arise to honk your horn to alert a cyclist that you are about pass, do so at a respectable distance. If you are too close, the noise itself can cause a cyclist to lose his or her bearings and create a hazardous situation for both you and the cyclist.

This Tri-Kiawah is a USAT sanctioned intermediate distance competition so there will be many participants as well as family members and friends. Packet pick-up started Wednesday and will probably peak on Saturday, which means additional traffic coming down to the islands, as well as in Freshfields.  For more information about the race as well as a complete map, click here.

Gibbes Museum – Charles Williams: SUN + LIGHT

Posted on October 11, 2019 by

Charles Williams: SUN + LIGHT
Gibbes Museum
October 11, 2019-February 2, 2020

SUN + LIGHT features a collection of works by contemporary South Carolina artist Charles Williams (American, b. 1984) from his series Everyone Loves the Sunshine. The paintings in this exhibition juxtapose Williams’ own personal encounters, past and present, with the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. Williams attempts to strike a balance between both the peaceful and violent protests of the movement and of varied expressions of power. He recounts stories told to him by his grandmother about this specific period in U.S. history and the belief she passed down that would guide his work: “Stay in the light, stay positive.” SUN + LIGHT is organized by the Polk Museum of Art at Florida Southern College, Lakeland, Florida.
