Dear positively stunning yoginis,

 



 

Thank you for a week full of positivety and laughter. Your open spirits to try new things and just go for it was inspirational. I very much enjoyed your company.

 

The hike this week was once again a special experience. We took a different route: Xlendi to Sannat. The cliffs and the blue blue sea wowed us. Orla pointed out all the subtleties of colours to be seen in the rock faces, purple, pink, ochre… After the hike, our guide, Bernard, brought us to a local bar, Maria’s Bar. The place is covered in massive pictures of Elvis and guitars hanging on the walls. It was a tiny pub and reminded me of Ireland’s wee country pubs. We were quite an attraction: six beautiful women accompanied by one man. The locals (or foreign American local with a few too many beers in his belly) got talking to us about politics and cultural diversity (Obama had just won the presidency). Well, one thing led to another, and suddenly I found myself upside down doing a headstand in my hiking boots in this wee bar. Orla told me after that the bar maid said she could do that too without any classes, but when asked to demonstrate she claimed her jeans skirt wasn’t appropriate. The group filled the bar with much much laughter and a breath of fresh air (the same words the American used for Obama).

Sunset yoga...always inspirational.

Much peace and happiness to you all,
