My yoga practice--- OM Yoga Show in London

Yey! My first time EVER "OM Yoga Show" in London. 

I really enjoyed it. This yoga show was on 21-23/10/2016 in the Alexandra Palace in London. 

Originally, I was going down there with my friend Jo on Friday 21st. I thought I was doing the morning shift... So as you can imagine I was really looking forward to going there with her after work. I already planned the day in my head, Marcus bought us tickets.... Then, When I turned up at the work, I realised I lost my flat keys and was told I was on afternoon shift. To make matters worse ( to me...😓 ) it was raining and COLD.... When I found out about my shift, I was really hacked off, someone who wrote on the white board at work, put my flippin' name down in the AM shift... 😱  (Noooooooo!) Well, partly my fault too, I did not look in my diary... Anyway, I cried and I had to tell Jo I was not able to make it that day. She was very kind and lovely, told me to got there on the weekend with Marcus. I told her, "I wanted to go with you!" She replied calmly, " we can go next time to weekend workshop somewhere together. You enjoy there with Marcus." She is lovely, she is my another yoga buddy and I love her company. That was why I wanted to go with her. Nice, being with your girlfriends, rather than with your boyfriend to visit places like that. We could chat chat chat, and eat lovely food.....

Me and Lovely Alessandra

Anyway, I told Marcus what happened and, long story cut short, he took me there on Sunday. It turned out even better. Apart from we got lost in London, we were driving.... Anyway, we managed to find the place, parked our car and walked up to the venue. It was huge, never been there before.

As soon as we went in, I knew there would be a class (free one) I wanted to attend. It was on Vita CoCo "open-studio", I was the head of the ques. I told Marcus to meet me in 45mins back there.

It was lovely Alessandra's class. I once attended a workshop facilitated by her at my local yoga studio, The Boiler House in Bury St Edmunds, and I absolutely loved it. Very different and she did some qi-gong like yoga too. She spoke about meridians and all sounded familiar to me and felt a bit at home. Anyway, it was only 30mins tester class by Alessandra, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was fun. 🤗

Thank you Esther!

We pottered around until afternoon I wanted to attend lovely Esther Eckhart's 30mins tester session at the same open-studio. I was so excited to seeing her in live. I only saw her on youtube, she was tiny! AND she was lovely. 😍 I had to ask her for photo shoots (thanks to my new yoga buddy who had her mat next to me) and again, Esther was great. Although it was super noisy place, she managed very well, I felt the connection between us, participants and Esther, she hold the class till the end. I had anxiety around "too many people in here" then, got really stressed inside, but Esther helped me to take that away. I had to thank her for doing it, just a short class in noisy, busy place but I realised yoga practise is what you put in and how you make it. I really felt this that day. It doesn't matter how noisy and busy the environment you are in, you can always find peace inside. Once you find it, get in there and feel it. No one can take away from you. It's yours. Even off the mat or outside the studio, it's always there. After the session, I felt much calmer inside. Thank you Esther. 

Esther is doing workshop next year in London, I am planning to attend, wherever it is, I will be there!
