๐ซ The retreat comedown; the kind of exhaustion that can only come from doing something you absolutely love โ๏ธ๐ฌ๐ท
๐ Freshly off the plane at 3.30am this morning, a bursting full heart, a slightly frazzled head, about 14 litres less hydration than ideal, not near enough sleep butโฆ excitement to be back home, straight back on the mat with my yogis here ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ
๐ซ Retreat weeks are magic, theyโre also full on. Early mornings, holding space, planning and guiding our practice, chats over coffee, sea swims, laughter, tears (so many wonderful tears), reaffirming life, snack locating, emotional supporting, beach walking, hill hiking and approximately 47 reminders to โplease drink waterโ ๐
๐ And honestly, I give it everything Iโve got.
Every. single. time.
Because why do it any other way? ๐ซถ๐ผ
๐ Seeing my guests arrive carrying stress, tension, overwhelm and โlife sh*tโ, feeling a little nervousโฆ then slowly watching them soften, breathe deeper, laugh louder, rest properly and let go a little more each day, that will never stop feeling special to me
๐ฅน Thatโs the bit that fills my cup right back up again and keeps me going. Itโs the whole reason why! ๐ค
๐ So yes, Iโm home and completely knackered
But so deeply grateful, ridiculously proud, and already smiling at the memories we made together ๐๐ผ
Now if anyone needs me, Iโll be horizontal with a cup of tea, my hot water bottle and my book for the rest of the day ๐ซ โจ
