6 whole weeks, 5 countries, 3 kids.
We were so lucky this summer to be able to go away for so long but sharing a room all together for majority of the time requires a lot of yoga and I don’t mean just asana.
Yoga taught me to slow down.
Travel reminded me that I don’t always have to plan E V E R Y T H I N G.
Sometimes the best moments are the unplanned ones.
Believe me with 3 kids we had to plan a lottt but between those moments, were some of our favourite times. Leaving gaps and days totally free so our kids could choose how to spend the day and ask for yes days. No schedules and no routines 💜
Yoga taught me to breathe.
Because travelling with three little ones definitely tests that skill. 😂
One breath.
One moment.
Then the next.
Seriously we’d be in this beautiful location and you’d hear squabbling kids and then realise they were MY squabbling kids. “Enjoy where you areee” we’d tell them and then quickly leave them to it, breathe through it and enjoy ourselves. Just because you’re away doesn’t mean your kids stop arguing and tbh who can blame them when they’re stuck together all day long 🤣
Yoga taught me flexibility.
Not just in my body.
Plans change.
Flights are delayed.
Children have meltdowns.
Rain appears at exactly the wrong moment.
And somehow… we adapt.
I think I’ve never HAD to be as flexible and creative as now. One evening we forgot to bring our sticker books and dobble to dinner and we all know how that could have turned out but I made up a game where one person counts to 20 and we all have to make something out of our dinner napkins - you can’t make what someone else made in a different round. This then became the game of choice every night for the remainder of the holiday!
Yoga taught me presence.
And travel gave me 6 weeks of opportunities to practise it.
Put the phone down.
Look around.
Actually be there.
I get so many clients coming to with shoulder and neck pain because of the amount of time we spend on our phones - we’re all guilty of it. But holidays are the one time I really do make an extra effort to be without my phone and I love it so not sure why it’s not the same at home. Maybe it’s the constant WhatsApp chats relat
