The magic of Barcelona is infectious! The best thing about visiting a city for a 3rd or 4th time is there is no rush to see all the touristy sights which means there is ample time to chill in cafes and watch the buzz of a city flow by. Each city has its own buzz and in Barcelona the buzz is shopping! Or may be this has to do with christmas being soon and the city streets being lit up like a multi colour fairy land! Shop after shop after shop, each one the same but slightly different from the one before, each corner is hiding yet another cobble stone street lined with tempting goods to buy, try on and wish that you had. My evenings were spent covering some classes at the beautiful studio Kannon Gyo (www.kannongyo.com) this was a perfect time to re connect to my centre and remember its whats on the inside which counts. Time flies when your having fun and there i was again on a plane destination my home for the winter, Ibiza. More blue skies and sunshine for the following days leading up to the Solar Sadhana workshop at Can Shiva, the group was intimate and fiery and ready for handstands, core cultivation and embracing the sweaty practice as we connected to our inner flame to strengthen our immune systems for a healthy winter. The following day i was super excited about a event on Playa d´en Bossa and the free Yoga class i was planning on attending, like many teachers i know we hardly ever get the pleasure of attending a class so i was looking forward to Yoga on the beach with the sun, sky and sand! Arriving on time it turns out the teacher is stuck on the other side of the island with a broken down car so after a string of events i covered for the him instead. Even better a spontaneous class on the beach sharing what i love to do! So a inspiring and encouraging weekend of Yoga, new faces and spontaneous opportunities. With a heart over flowing with gratitude from a vibrant 2011 i bow to the mysteries of 2012 and willingly dive in with open arms to embrace the magic of more adventure!
