Beware the whirling fluctuations of the mind…even after booking a lush summer yoga retreat!
By Victoria Jackson
I’ve started dreaming of the summer. The approach of springtime always puts me in a looking-forward frame of mind. I start pl anning. I feel full of optimism and see ex citing possibilities everywhere. In J anuary I ight with myself not to make a series of strict new year’s resolutions that I know will simply oppress me by their dull worthiness. But by March the turn of the seasons and the lighter days magically frees me from any such self-improvement obsessions and instead I find I’m natur ally focusing on what I really want to do — not what I think I should do. What a relief, this is so much more fun!
So I’ve just booked myself onto a yoga retreat in late summer. It’s perfectly timed so that just when back to school gloom settles over the UK, I’ll be lying of somewhere warmer and sunnier and immersing myself in yoga practice for 10 days or so. I’m already looking forward to like-minded company, good food and beautiful surroundings. In fact, I’m wearing out the retreat centre’s website studying the photos and picturing myself there. What lux ury to be able to devote myself to my asana practice each day without any worries about how to juggle yoga into my day (or try to juggle my day around the yoga!). And when practice time is over I’ll have the leisure of each evening just to sit and watch the sun set over the ocean. I can’t wait, it all looks wonderful.
