‘Lloga’ in Llança 😄
Yoga in Barcelona ✅ Ocean swimming along the Costa Brava coast ✅ Next leg: cycling from Collioure in France back over the Pyrenees to Calella in Spain. First time on an e-bike (hence the practice circles in the car parks🤣)
Sometimes the spontaneous yoga classes on towels are the best…
I think swimming is all about Llibertat… hang on… Is that a Leigh tow float?
Today we had hoped to swim from France to Spain… but gusts to 47kph thwarted our attempt. Instead, we peeked over the border around the headland and then relished the Best French Paella EVER!
Impromptu yoga this morning to release tight swimmers’ shoulders🙏 followed by a gorgeous swim at Cala Montgo
Costa Brava
Today’s 3.5km swim around Illes Formigues Islands and across to the mainland coast with a tiki tour by boat to Palamos along the ‘not-so-wild’ Costa Brava.🥰🙏 Thanks oceanswimsafaris.com
The yoga part of the trip comes to an end… today we head up the coast to rendezvous with swimmers from other countries to begin our swims along the Costa Brava coastline… I’m excited! Report to come.
The path to rooftop yoga in Barcelona is a challenge in itself! Coming from Leigh (popn 606), city life is a little overwhelming. E # # .
Poddies, today I fly to Costa Brava in Spain to check out the Vies Braves (sea lanes for swimmers) and swim from France to Spain around the foothills of the Pyrenees for possible future YogiFish Retreats. It has been on my radar for YEARS! In the meantime, take care and stay salty! 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 Watch this space!
Oh Blue Moon 🙏
Just refuelling and heading home tomorrow. Thank you Aitutaki, you’re forever imprinted on my heart and eyeballs. 2024 YogiFish yoga/ocean swimming packages to Aitutaki are coming out next week! Www.yogifish.nz/retreats
Our final dinner at Aitutaki, Cook Islands 🥰 Thank you for the exquisite memories all you beautiful salty souls!
We’ve danced, we’ve swum, we’ve yogaed, we’ve luxuriated, we’ve fished… so much joy and camaraderie! One day left…
Maine Mura means women of passion. Thank you Diane from for sharing your culture, warmth and passion!
The last day of our inaugural YogiFish escape in Aitutaki.My heart so FULL. Thank you gorgeous salty souls for such beautiful memories.
WHAT. JUST. HAPPENED!
It’s hard to choose a highlight… but today was definitely up there! Diane Henry shared her skill and knowledge of cultural traditions with us with her Maine Mura programme (women of passion): pareu screenprinting, head garland creation and learning to dance Polynesian style (hard!) followed by dinner with the poddies at
Today’s YogiFish adventure included a flowing yoga session with lots of neck and shoulder releases, a 3km swim from Motikitiu to Rapota island, lunch on One Foot Island, a surprise dip with a turtle, spontaneous shared dinner at the pool, Jono on the mandolin accompanied by a single malt highland whisky. Life is very, very sweet.
It’s only day 2! The Swim of the Giants today stretched to almost 5km! From purple coral to giant clams and giant trevally and one impressive giant Napoleon wrasse
Night nymphs 🥰
One happy YogiFish pod leader. Yoga, swim in turquoise 28-degree lagoon, shared lunch with my poddies. Contented village life.
The last of the pod has finally arrived! The inaugural YogiFish retreat in Aitutaki is launched! Let the memories begin. 🥰🌴🌺🏊♀️🧘♀️
Exhaaaale. After months and months of planning and organising, I’ve finally arrived. On more sleep until the first group arrives for my inaugural YogiFish adventure in Aitutaki. 🙏🏊♂️🏊♀️🌴🌺🧘♀️
