Diary of a Yogic Mummy

Beautifully sunny but freezing today - great ashtanga practise this morning before whizzing round the garden with the mower, tea with my husband and laughter with my girls and then off to teach this evening some Yin Yoga after the frenetic energy of the last full moon! The holidays in Gruissan were great fun and the yoga on the beach quite special.....wonderful moments with melodie too. The break down on the motorway on the way down just didn't bother us in the slightest! Have bikes, legs and a yoga mat will travel! Namaste

Well after a couple of days yoga course and macrobiotic diet (not too convinced for myself) and a VERY busy day yesterday cleaning and mowing lawns for the new arrivals Melodie and I are finally off to Gruissan plage for a few days of sun, sea and beach! Have good few days...namaste

So off to a yoga course for a couple days in the South of the Ardeche - trying desperately to catch up with a few things before I go and do a short meditative yogic practise before getting in the care again....busy market morning this morning before heading home and preparing the evening meal for the clan, cake, bread and of course taking the tent down in the garden in preparation for the camping trip this Sunday... busy, busy, busy...melodie so pleased today as not only did she get a new pet shop and hana montana tissues (if only life could be so beautifully simple sometimes) she also managed to swim underwater. Clementine on good from after a long sleep last night - no waking up and a sleep in until 8.15am - unheard of! - and a good sleep this afternoon too. Ahhh parents can catch up - its amazing what one or two hours extra sleep can do. Off to practise and drive to the yogic meet-up...namaste all.

Rainy, cloudy and sunny day but all is smiles down here The girls are on good form thanks to Erin's help and some good wholesome fun (as well as a bit of nanny mcphee this afternoon). Beautiful run in the woods and hills this morning and a great yoga session in my cabane (so no children climbing over me) listening to Deva Premal and the sound of rain on the roof. Doesn't get better than that! namaste

Cleaning gites all day today so no time for yoga asana practise but lots of karmic thoughts whilst ccleaning the loos! The girls managed to ge their session in though...check out the photo! namaste

Well another busy day in the life of a yogic mummy.....wake up call at 7.00 after a late night with friends. Two year olds don't know about having a lie in! After brekfast & sorting elder child and our english babysitter ashtange yoga in the courtyard broken only to get lunch on the go! Christian (husband) then helped take loads of new photos for the dvd covers as they need revamping and a couple of videos - to be found on YouTube and the photos on my facebook album this weekend aas time has run out today) - then a change of scene and mowing the lawns with some weeding and gardening to boot. Now for once I am goingg out with my husband for a meal just the two of us - no kids! - thankyou Erin for babysitting....Namaste

Beautifully sunny and hot morning so after the general breakfast routine with Clementine's (now 2) new word of the week being voila! I went for a wonderful run through the chestnut woods and then cam back and practised yoga in the courtyard. Took Melodie (almost 7) and Erin (our enlgish guest staying with us to look after the girls for a few days) to La Plage in St Sauveur and then a few bits in town before dropping Melodie off at a freind's and heading home for dinner with Clementine and Papa. Clementine greeted us with open arms and a loud Maman - much appreciated. All in bed by 11pm exhausted!
