Lendrick Lodge weekend retreat

The journey of a  yogini is one of constant learning and to learn is to be forever young . Some say that the secret of youth resides on a healthy spine but I also think that an inquiring mind and a light heart that is connected to the highest purpose is essential. 

This weekend has been a great learning experience for me. I have met a group of fantastic people with the most diverse life experiences, ages and backgrounds. And our differences disappeared as we all bathed together in the light of yoga during the weekend.  The atmosphere was one of openess, trust and camaraderie. I reckon that this was largely created by our willingness to make the weekend special. We were all so willing to meet , learn, exchange, relax and enjoy.

My little  personal experiment for the weekend  was trying to be as open as I could , having  no expectation and going  with the flow. I tried hard to 'simply be'. By relaxing my grip and working 'with the flow'  and against the grain of my deeply seated habits and comfort zone as much as I could  I felt 'strangely'  inner reassured , connected and genuinely content and grateful for no special reason.
Om shanti!
