A Fun Yoga Play Day

Wow what a busy week we had so far and it gets better and better by the day. Today we had our “Girls nurture Girls” Yoga Fun Play Day. I was so looking forward to this day. We all got picked up by Ilona and dinghied over to the Tikkibar dock. From there we walked up to Sharon’s house that had kindly opened up her home to us. It was a stunning house on top of the Mount Hartman overlooking Prickly Bay and Secret Harbor. The house included an indoor garden and a little lookout on top of the roof, absolutely cool. We all had brought some lunch to share, that we stored in the fridge until lunch. Once we had settled down and warmed up to each other, we lay down in Shavasana to indulge to a yoga session. The space was brilliant and the class was bliss….what an experience…..what a beautiful memory to take with me. After the yoga session we all agreed to stay in silence to paint our little rocks that Nola and Sharon had collected on Flamingo Beach a week before. Sharon even went through the trouble of making some hearts out of salt dough, which we all painted. We all enjoyed the time sitting in silence painting our little stones and hearts. We all discovered a creative side inside us and it reminded us of how beautiful it is to open up our heart to painting and creativity. We took a break from being silent for lunch, and as you could have probably guessed we continued to chat to a great length after lunch while we painted. The salt dough hearts were given to me at the end of the day, as a thank you gift for all the yoga classes that I have given on the beach over the last 6 weeks. The hearts were beautifully painted with a little rolled up note inside them and lined up on a little piece of string. What a wonderful gift…thank you my beautiful friends I was absolutely stunned by this gift and had to hold back my tears. You have given me equally as much joy as I have hopefully given you during our Yoga classes on the beach of Grenada. Teaching and sharing my passion with you under the Banyan tree has been the greatest gift I could have received. After we finished our painting, we sat around the living space and chatted about this and that. We filled out a questionnaire to discover what body type we are in the philosophy of Ayurveda. Just before it was getting dark, we actually remembered that there is something else out there to go back to. It was hard to leave the circle of friends that we have become that day; however we know that we will carry those friendships and this day deep in our heart for the rest of our lives. Thank you everyone for being there, you made it all very special!
