September 2021 update: Greetings from Sugar beach, St Lucia, West Indies Business first! I have contacted everyone I believe I owed £ to from the last yoga blocks you paid me for and reimbursed you via Paypal. If I missed you and you think I owe you £ please drop me a line and I will resolve this asap. ~ Thank you for your kind notes, emails, cards with words of moral support before I left, it means a lot to me. ~ I'm creating a short survey, that I will share with you, to gauge interest in: - an online yoga and barre class - this could be in 'live time' from St Lucia to Scotland via zoom or pre-recorded
- classes @ Schloss Roxburghe in 2022 and retreat in Scotland / St Lucia in 2022
~ I share below: a request to write me a testimonial, 2 x plant-based recipes, nutrient rich for Autumn days, some Scottish Borders based teachers & therapists that I can recommend from personal experience (I can't express how important supporting local small businesses and self-employed practitioners is) and a verse that I silently channeled when anxiety was invisibly strangling me by the throat, yes I'm human and I have my share of bad days, which in time become a drop in the ocean... ~ Feel free to unsubscribe if this is no longer relevant! ~ I left Kelso on the sunniest of days almost 3 weeks ago with the harvest in full swing, hay rolls perched on fields and the river Tweed glistening. The night before I left, despite being severely behind schedule in packing and cleaning, I escaped for a few hours to ABBA concert at Floor Castle with a fab friend Tessa :) I'm soooo very glad I went! It made my heart feel glad to see everyone letting their hair down in such a beautiful setting and under the clearest night sky :) It was my first ever night out dancing in my time in the Scottish Borders since moving there in Feb 2020 & I'll remember it forever. I'm here on Sugar beach between the 2 Pitons (petit Piton & gross Piton) on a UNESCO wold heritage site in the Carribean and it is truly a little piece of paradise. The earth and air feel warm and smell of sulphur and volcanic soil, the rain forest is super green & lush. The sea is calypso blue and turquoise complete with jellyfish, sea eels, sargent major fish and sounds of tree frogs, crickets & birds fill the air, also a few Carribean cows moo after my solo OM chants! Despite it being hurricane/rainy season we are blessed with sunshine everyday and hot temps of 30 degrees with humidity. Hills are a steep gradient so running is slow speed, on tip toes and very sweaty. Construction works are underway on the estate preparing the resort to reopen in November when the season starts. The academic year is underway in St Andrews and my alarm bells are 04:00am to teach at 05:00 which is 10:00 Scotland time so it's me and the tree frogs at this early hour! ~ Local (to the Scottish Borders) teachers and therapists: Yoga classes and Ayurvedic treatments in Kelso - Jolanda Davies www.jolandadavies.com Callanetics and Barre classes in Melrose - CoreSculpt UK www.coresculptuk.co.uk Elaine Blacklock Facialist - Bliss Body & Beauty Melrose T: 01896823589 Reflexology in St Boswells - Angela Secretan Sports Physiotherapy home visits/online - Kenny Watt project:physio (formerly SPACE clinic Edinburgh) www.projectphysio.net ~ Take care of yourselves in this wild world Namaste Alice |
