Relax in just a week's vacation? can this work?
The same thing every day: Mountains full of work, hurrying from appointment to appointment and all sorts of people want all sorts of things from me. Stressed and burned out, the body screams for a vacation. But it's not that simple: When? Where? With who? Questions about questions. The answers are sobering: The family is also stressful again, the best friend can not take her vacation at the same time and generally everyone wants to go to different places.
I'm doing something good now and driving alone
So I decided? on a whim? simply to go on vacation alone. Dear only one week. That is manageable. I wanted to recover, sun and somehow a little something to do. It should be a Surf & Yoga Retreat. Not that I could do yoga or surfing particularly well. More like this: never done. But that makes it really exciting. Adventure, I'm coming! The choice fell on the Yogafriends Fuerteventura.
"If you practice yoga, practice it for yourself."
Like right now? I thought, I practice for a great body, for more serenity and besides, I'm on vacation and it's all about relaxation, right?
Meditation at 7 o'clock? the spiders, the yogis!
The week at the Yogafriends was not like an ordinary holiday. In any vacation I have ever gone to the morning meditation at 7 o'clock in the morning and to the first yoga class at 8 o'clock. Wi-Fi was only two hours a day, alcohol and coffee not at all. I thought I was in the wrong movie hotel. And that alone too. Then came the rescue: the breakfast.
Ok convinced. For such a breakfast, I would do yoga every day.
Delectable people among themselves
After breakfast even more fun: time for a massage, the beach and possibly also a Käffchen. For all love: a life without coffee may be possible, but meaningless. The Yogafriends know this too and have a coffee machine in the kitchen. We did not use them. Enjoying coffee is a ritual for me, combined with a visit to a charming café. And I had an ally, which I immediately liked.
In general, we were a funny troupe. Between one or the other om laughed laughter and after dinner we told each other? even without wine? our biggest stories. It just fit. Not as anonymous as in the all-inclusive bunker.
As new born after a week
It was an unusual holiday week. With a lot of movement and peace at the same time. It was not always easy to focus on myself. Or "just" on the breath. He is finally full of thoughts. Three hours of yoga a day, splashing in the sea or even surfing, that was anything but a quiet holiday. And yet I was more relaxed than usual. Maybe because no one else was there and a week annoying annoying mobile phone and Internet have me.
