THE FITNESS FAIRY!!!

I didn't post a blog in December, and I am late in writing a blog at all.  The weather has kept me indoors : I don't risk keeping my footing out there in bad weather.  But that is no excuse for not writing.

A message came to me by email about a week ago.  It was an amusing cartoon of the Fitness Fairy, who shook her dust over my static life and told me to get off my butt, and do something!  There I was in my muddy pool of despondency - doing nothing to get out of it.

It was one of the Trustees of the Yoga for Health and Education Trust who sent me the cartoon through Facebook.  I sincerely thank them both!  It made me at least go down to my car and check that it would still start!

One thing leads to another - or so it seems.  A Dutch Yoga teacher friend wrote to me from Holland, where she is a Yoga Therapist, and offered her help to get me to and from a Yoga weekend run by YHET in June at the Domus Mariae in Essex.

I give my heartfelt thanks to my Yoga friends who somehow sensed my need and helped me out of my "swamp".

This month my quote is from Edward FitzGerald's translation of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayam:-

          "Ah Love!  could you and I with him conspire
           To grasp this sorry Scheme of Things entire,
           Would not we shatter it to bits - and then
           Remould it nearer to the Heart's Desire!"

But you can do something to remould your life and make it better.  I can help you to find a Yoga teacher if you live within ten miles' radius of St. Neots.  Or you, too, can benefit from the tremendous help and experience the Yoga for Health and Education Trust can offer.   Their website is:  www.yoga-health-education.org.uk

Om shanti, shanti, shanti  - peace and peace and peace!
