The English summer is so sporadic, the most predictable flow i have witnessed is morning times are a little over cast, the sun rises, the over cast fuzz is lifted then its really bright and sunny with the odd cloud cover, the breeze is cooling and this lasts until after lunch (if your lucky) then the clouds begin to magnetically draw together over this island, shutting out the sunshine and warmth and it stays this way until the sunsets. On the rare occasion the sunset can be seen radiating out from behind the layer of clouds which is visually very pretty but the breeze makes you want to pull on a wooly hat and wrap a scarf around you to keep the cool air out. Boarding a flight to Scotland was exciting as i will be teaching in the countryside 1 hour outside Glasgow. Time to absorb some shakti from nature! My gracious host and friend Cat picked me up from the airport and drove me to the  town of Helensburgh, this is my second time in Scotland but first time to the west coast and i was impressed by how pretty it was with the rolling green hills, cute individual houses, the abundant of lakes/ lochs and of course the accent, it took a few hours for my ears to completely understand what was being said! I introduced theses eager and willing to flow Yogis to the idea of breath initiated movement, with a Master Class focused on the softness/ Lasya and Power/ Tandava in Flow Yoga and with great courage they let the flow guide them inward through their internal pathways of prana, the weekend was full with back bending joy, cleansing twisting, empowerment in handstands and ending with a spontaneous flow which enabled them to be the river guide for themselves instead of following my suggestions. I really enjoyed my time with the students at Amethyst Studio, everyone was super willing to give anything a go even when i surprised them with a free form joy currant enhancing dance! On the day i left it was so sunny, warm and total blue skies as far as the eye could see, after a 45 minute delay on my flight landing in London was like fast forwarding to winter with the rain pouring down and the cold winds coming from all directions it made me totally grateful for all the sweaty, sticky and humid times in Asia which my body is beginning to crave :) so when the sun is out so am i but when the clouds descend i am flowing down a river to find warmer and dry lands.
