We arrived full of anticipation, laced with fear
Thank goodness Rhi had said “bring some beer”
Yoga and wine
Go together just fine!
Rise and shine at 4am to watch the dawn break
Sleepy souls strolling past the mirror like lakes
Peace perfect peace as we trekked to the cliff top
The glowing, gorgeous orange sun our backdrop
But there was glowing of a different kind before us
As we lay upon our mats - in Rhi we placed our trust!
Your body - your yoga was the mantra of the day
Just do what you can, come what may
Sweaty bodies, bright red faces
Rhi put us through our paces!
We knew a reward lay in store
Gorgeous vegan food for one and all
We ate, we laughed and shed some tears
But Rhi was there to allay our fears
I saw the world from upside down!
A beaming face from my worried frown
Life can be good for you and for me
Practice gratitude daily and you’ll feel truly free
Reach for the stars and never give up
Yoga will help you fill up your life cup
After all the blood, sweat and tears
The end of the retreat drew near
New friend were made, old ones reunite
As we come together under starlight
What better way to end a yoga retreat
Than by a fire ,with wine and treats
Some of us even broke out the sherry
Everyone was rather merry!
So don’t be afraid to just let it all go
Breathe in, breathe out - go with the flow
Your body can do amazing things
Yoga can give your soul freedom wings!
