Autumn Newsletter

Wishful thinking for Autumn to be here faster than the two weeks that it is. September will soon be upon us and there lazy hazy days of summer a mirage. How was summer for you all? I had a fantastic holiday in South Africa with family. It was a crisp,clear and sunny winter. We had a few "braais" which are what we call barbeques there. Real fire ones. The most memorable for me was when we celebrated the lunar eclipse. The eclipse took all evening so we had plenty of time to eat, drink and watch the moon changing colour - a perfect amber it was. My brother played his guitar and his son joined in. We did our best to sing along.

Another more scary braai was at the Addo Elephant Park where we heard a lion roaring just across the fence. Never did those 6 foot electric fences seem more ridiculously inadequate. Another elephant encounter with two bulls surrounding our car leaves me feeling lucky to be alive. I found out that elephants growl!!! We saw up to 50 at one time at the water holes with my Dad being a great guide.

A beach cottage was just the answer for my Mum who was recovering from pneumonia. I really enjoyed the fresh air and chilled time away. My husband and daughter enjoyed surfing the cold waves. I enjoyed many beach walks.

Back to Studio news....most classes are back to usual. After Matthew joining us only for a short time he leaves to work full time at Pure Yoga in Causeway Bay. Matthew lives here on the Gold Coast with his lovely wife and their two furry babies. One a gorgeous French Bulldog and another English Bulldog. I will miss his classes and help. I am sure those who attended his strong, yet warmly taught classes feel the same.

There is a possibility of a Tuesday 6pm Pilates class starting in September so let me know if you would be interested in this.

Kids Yoga was a real blast at the start of the holidays and I will hold classes again soon.

I am looking forward to seeing you back after your summer and hearing your news too.
