Five things you may not know about me: Day 5
I’m a Sagittarian, I can’t lie - I know next to nothing about star signs. But one thing I do know is that Sagittarians are lovers of adventure and travel. And this is true of me.
BUT please don’t put me up in the air without an engine attached!
I discovered this fact – when I was indeed high up attached by what felt like a thread (but was actually a secure cable) last Summer in Kalkan, Turkey. A working holiday – a business retreat, where I was leading the business women through their morning yoga practice each day.
I found myself agreeing to go parascending around the beautiful blue Kalkan bay. That’ll be lovely I thought – as indeed did everyone else. But me? No! I discovered that whilst I may enjoy what others may think of as ‘dangerous’ sports (motorcycling and skiing) – parascending was a white knuckle ride for me.
Boy did I need my calming yogic breathing during and after. Never again. Thank you very much.
Speed - YES! I have ridden motorbikes all my life, happy in the saddle for many hours up a mountain pass; or ‘blatting’ along the autobahn. Mountain biking; road biking; hiking up a mountain side. Skiing. Ice skating.
All have one thing in common. Firmly on the ground!
As is my yoga mat. You don’t get closer to being a land hugger than Yoga. Dynamic flow. Long held poses. Relaxation. Safely and firmly on terra firma.
