Thump… thump… thump! On the first morning of my first ever yoga retreat, I fell down the stairs. On my way to practice, wearing my coolest fit chick kit from Sweaty Betty and Lululemon, along with a pair of nubby wool socks, I slipped walking down the stairs, landing on my ass, tea cup in hand.

Sometimes a girl’s gotta go with the waves, especially when her original travel plans go wayside. En route to London after my Spanish escapade (details on that trip here) my plans carved to the right, away from the airport, due to forces beyond my control. Instead of freaking out, I embraced an impromptu adventure in Biarritz, France.
Lo siento, I just woke up from a 12 month blogging siesta. It’s been a busy year with my budding meditation business (more on Mind House here) and my ever-evolving personal life. But my travel game has still been going strong – all year long!
In August 2017 (yes, I am that delayed in posting), I ventured to Spain to spend a week in the late summer sun, with only a little rain (that fell mainly on the beach). I started my tour in Madrid, the elegant capital city. Then, I moved on to San Sebastian for a coastal retreat.

Nearly two decades later, I barely remembered any of what I saw that trip. So a return to Rome was definitely due. [Read more…] about Roman Holiday: The Sequel
This spring, I went in like a lamb and out like a unicorn. No I don’t have rainbow coloured hair now. But rather, I embarked on an intensive yoga teacher training program here in London.* For over 200 hours, I stretched, flowed, breathed, meditated, read, wrote, taught, loved, laughed, cried, hugged, and of course… “Ommmm”‘d. And now, I am a fully qualified RYT-200 Yoga Teacher. Whoopee! (That’s what unicorns say!) [Read more…] about Yoga’s Up: Teacher Training
