International Yoga Day is celebrated on 8th February each year. Unfortunately this year, due to inclement weather, we postponed our session until 8th March.
We set off from Arcos at 12 noon and arrived approximately 40 minutes later at our usual picnic spot in the Grazalema mountains. Since it was a beautiful day there were already quite a few families gathering in little clusters around the brick built barbeques. We were a large group of about 20 people and chose a nice quiet spot with some shade and rocks.
While the men set about preparing the barbeques, the ladies joined me for an invigorating yoga session under the trees. (pictured). I was delighted with the turn out and raised over 50 euros for the people of Zimbabwee. A BIG thank you to everybody who participated and contributed.
After the yoga practise we all enjoyed a glass of wine (!) and delicious food served in nature.
A bonus to the yoga day was a football match, which the young and well… the not so young enjoyed alike!! Those still standing also took part in a short walk. Well done everybody, let’s do it all again next year!
