Yoga RETREAT

Over the weekend I went to Lorne a place I had never visited, much to many peoples horror! I can officially now say I have been to Lorne and what an experience this retreat, hosted by Tina Tainui and Nikki Van Djk, gifted me with.

We ate, we yogged, and we spent a lot of time in water.

I am a water baby and this opportunity reminded me how important it is for me to be in water and how much I loved and missed it. Nature is so wonderful and she speaks on so many levels and we had a good chat whilst I was in the water, even had a little cry and she held me.

To return to practice that evening and remember that I am 60% water, and to move back in to that place of fluidity both the yin and yang classes felt very different. That free state, flow state was back.

In fact even when I returned to teach Monday morning it felt different. I was different. The experience had actually moved me from my head back to my heart.

I spend so much time in my head analysing this practice, to perfect it, that I forget what it is really all about, and why I began practicing yoga in the first place.

On my mat in my practice I unbecame all the stories and ridged contractions that moved me away from the very essence of the practice itself. How free I am, how I am love, how I feel connected and what its like to return home to a state of being where everything I am not, and all that I am, all at the same time.

Much much love,

Emma
