Let´s Yoga in the Park - DLC Power yoga

Today was a great day - we had beautiful weather, I had 3 classes outdoors out of 4, a pretty good statistics :) The last class was in Dunstable Leisure centre and we moved to the park right in front of the BBC radio :P and Gary Cooper :P I really enjoyed this class, we had a great sunset with many warriors, it was a quiet challenging class - well done everyone! And thank you for going outside and for letting me take the pictures :) 

Join us for yoga in DLC on Mondays @8pm and Sunday @5pm!!!

Let´s YOGA today! 21st June 2015

The weather surprised us today and we celebrated the first ever International Yoga Day on the sun in Stockwood Park :) I was well happy when so many of you turned up - thank you all for joining this great outdoor session! 

Here are some pictures:

International day of Yoga - a free session with me in the park

We´ll meet on Sunday at the car park at 4pm just as if you were going to the Athletic Track. It'seasy to get there by coming through the main gate from Farley Hill Road, follow the road till the end and I will meet you there.

So far few people said they´ll come,  it will be great!!!  

Bring mats, water, snacks, blankets, pillows maybe, we´re gonna have some yoga fun! :)  

International day of Yoga

Next Sunday is a really special day for us - it is an International day of Yoga. 

June 21 was declared as the International Day of Yoga by the United Nations General Assembly on December 11, 2014. Yoga, a 6,000+-year-old physical, mental and spiritual practice having its origin in India, aims to transform the body and the mind. From the perspective of yoga, the Summer Solstice marks the transition to Dakshinayana. The first full moon after Summer Solstice is known as Guru Poornima. According to Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, in the yogic lore, the first transmission of yoga by Shiva, the first Guru, is said to have begun on this day. Dakshinayana is also considered a time when there is natural support for those pursuing spiritual practices. Govind Gurbani Yog Guru / Vice President of Rajasthan Swasthya Yog Parisad Jaipur India informed that on 21 June fifty thousand followers of Yoga will perform Yoga in Rajasthan. This initiative found support from many global leaders. At first, the Prime Minister of Nepal Sushil Koirala supported the proposal of Modi. More than 177 countries including USA, Canada, China and Egypt have supported this move, including 175 nations co-sponsoring the resolution. It had the "highest number of co-sponsors ever for any UNGA Resolution of such nature." On Dec 11, 2014, the 193-member U.N. General Assembly approved by consensus a resolution establishing June 21 as 'International Day of Yoga'. The resolution also saw a record number of 177 countries co-sponsoring it. 

If you want to go to London to do some yoga in Alexandra Palace, here is a LINK for more info :)

But I was also thinking about doing something special... I know, it is a Father´s Day, but if you are interested, we could meet in Stockwood park to have a nice revitilizing outdoors session :) Let me know if you are up for it!! :)

Winter Photoshoot

Well, well well... :) 

Another adventure happened this week - a really short trip to my beautiful home country - Slovakia. 

I didn't even got time to visit my family, it was all about business 

(and, of course, having lots of fun!).

I landed to Poprad on Tuesday evening 

and my great talented photographer was already waiting for me. 

After helping me to get settled he took me to play table tennis, 

I could't believe how lucky I was!!

After that we played poker and I had to buy all yummy stuff I like 

(sweets, food, drinks, even alcohol... :P)

Boys went home and left me there alone - a biiig mistake, 

I had to force myself stay in the bed for hours, 

but I could't resist taking at least few 'selfies' :D :D 

In my world, selfie means - do it in 10s or die! :P

Next morning didn't look so promising 

for taking pictures... 

But the weather got so much better after an hour or so :) 

Lucky us (me)! 

We were driving all around the mountains all day and took lots and lots of pics, 

but one of them is just WOW!!! 

When you'll see it, you'll know which one I was talking about :P

 

We even stopped for halusky 

and went swimming and sauna in the evening :) 

And Lubos showed me how he takes 

such an amazing night pics. 

It was fascinating to watch him doing 

what he loves to do... 

...and after that we were eating and drinking again 

and talking, and talking, and talking... 

We woke up on time... 

Everything went according to the plan, the timing was perfect...

But the train was delayed 15 mins, so we went for a tea...

...and missed the train :/

So we could spend together a bit more time :P :D

 

I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to Lubos - 

he was an awesome guide 

(without him I would be lost :P ), 

a really professional photographer 

(I had such a nice time doing all the crazy poses, falling over and jumping around) 

and a great friend 

(we've talked about stuff I've never told anyone). 

I really appreciate that he spend the whole two days with me, making sure I am fed, happy, he  organised everything, I was truly impressed! :) 

I cannot wait for out next photoshoot!

I had to come back to my real life...
