Yoga Holiday at La Frescura, Sicily
June 20-27, 2009
Off I flew
To a new island close to the one I had just moved away from
The air smelt the same
Felt the same
Tasted the same
Yet was full of the unfamiliar
Opposed to the comforts of the familiar
Off I flew
To begin new work just like the work I had left
But this time
It was my own
All on my own
My own
Off I flew
From my new home where I feel so at home and safe
To newness
To challenges
To lesson to be learned
To laughter
To sunshine
To the chaos of life
Off I flew
To teach, to share, to learn, to do what I love
Yoga classes under a walnut tree
Yoga classes on a roof top terrace over looking the Mediterranean Sea
Flowing classes
Classes of stillness
Morning yoga
Evening yoga
Boat Yoga
High heeled, evening dress yoga
Yoga
Yoga
Yoga
But also
Beach
Sea
Sun
Evening (or afternoon) glasses of bubbly
Pizza
Pasta
Fish
Shitasu Massages
Off I flew
To meet new students
To re-meet past students
To teach practitioned yogis along side
First time yogis
From New York, Dublin, Edinburgh, Berlin
We were welcomed by
Warmth and kindness
By the family who run La Frescura Agriturismo
And by their dogs and chickens and lemon trees, and olives trees, and walnuts trees, and, and and....
Off I flew
From Berlin to Siracusa
To spend a week with a mix of very different people
To be moved, stretched, enriched
By those who came
By their compassion and openess
We all live such different lives
We see life so differently
We dream diverse dreams
A week later
Home I flew
To my family
To my new home
Home
Full of tales and experiences
Full of want to learn more, to teach more,
Full of want to keep living my life with my big dreams
Thankfully
The life is an adventure
A roller coaster
A farce, a tragedy, a love story, a comedy
A joy
A series of lessons
To be lived
Lived
Lived
Lived with love and compassion
Peace and Happiness,
