And once again I've deservedly been brought back down to earth here in Rhodes town, by local conversation. Of course there is concern about Eco-tourism (or lack of) and there are people working towards solutions Ms Morrell!  I guess the problem once again all boils down to numbers, the sheer amount of people in Europe taking holidays is the issue. So I ask you wouldn't you rather contribute to a places natural beauty and antiquity rather than this oblique manner of existence? Don't you want to be absorbed in travel, for the experience to move ones whole being, change focus, change brain waves, make you feel alive? Ahem! One day I'll be truthful about times & dates (but for now I'm happy in my Yogic youth giving properties). Back to the late 60s & early 70s here in Crete, where my mumma lived and taught. She has amazing pictures of what I imagined I'd see here in Greece. And I did, to certain extent.... if I ignored the fat 'sun-red' punt...

If you are having trouble balancing your energies at the moment then try a restorative Yoga class. Restorative Yoga combined with rejuvanating and healing herbal teas is a great way to celebrate the Spring and Easter season. And an alternative to being swamped by the dreaded chocolate performance. Well the collective research is getting done on the subjects of unnessesary sugers hidden in our food. Here's a nice post from one of my favourite websites:  EZineArticles You can learn about a few you didn't know about before, such as low fat Yoghurt - better to stay with whole, full fat Yoghurt (and made by Anglonubian goats ;) Haha! Lovely greek Yoghurt with a sprinkling of your favourite oats. Spring Is Natures Way Of Saying 'Let's Party'                                                          Robin Williams

Merry Stretch-making and all things Yogic this Christmas. I've arrived mid jet lag in the Southern Hemisphere...all the stars have changed and the water runs round the plug in a different direction. However Yoga is still fun and this week in the lead up to tomorrow's big day I've gone to my original ashram with my brother to do Yoga together. Love it! Happy and safe holidays ☺️🧘🏼‍♀️🌺 "Happiness will never come to  those who fail to appreciate what they already have."                                                                                                                                        Buddha

On a serious note I should have put in the headline 'economics' but here it's convoluted; ergonomics and economics of what women have to deal with on a monthly basis. Yoga can help with counteracting Menorrhagia or heavy bleeding during our monthly periods. In Iyengar Yoga we do a lot of training around helping to guide women through this physical process each month. That's why when you do find a regular Yoga practise, as a women, all your needs including child birth can be handled by a certified practitioner. Right, back to fixing your problem. Periods can be a painful fact of life. And expensive, especially as the need to be organic and sustainable with the process increases. The NHS states that most women will lose less than 16 teaspoons of blood (80ml) during their period, with the average being around 6 to 8 teaspoons. This is good information to know. You can measure yourself against the average and know that it's normal.... or that your system is sli...

My experience with exercise and food and vocation- eat healthily, eat wise. Do you go swimming after eating a full meal, maybe...it's good not to get fixated on digestion is my simple answer. Eating habits - forming good eating habits It's good to watch the latest instalment of Hugh Fernley Whittingstall's Britain's Fat Fight. Inviting marketing gurus' that give insight into things we probably well know already. Such as fast food chains advertising at crucial times of the day - such as family around the table- meal times. The endless advertising in supermarkets and tempting littlen's to packaged stuff. This must make shopping for parents no fun at all! So eat wholefoods, eat wise and exercise - invite exercise in generous amounts with vitality and spirit. Happiness does not rely on what you have or who you are. It solely relies on what you think.                                    ...
