🌄 No such thing as too many sunset photos – here i 🌄 No such thing as too many sunset photos – here is another recent favourite, from the edge of the woodland @peyrounet ⚡️ A big, dramatic storm cleared the air last night & now the heat builds again (fifth heatwave of the summer), just in time to welcome our last yoga guests of the season for our 26+2 Yoga Intensive. If we have to have a fifth heatwave this year, at least we can put it to good use! 🍈🥝🌰🍨 The studio is heating up… Ice cream is ready & waiting (can’t wait to test some new flavours on you)… We’ve stocked up on the best melons in the ‘hood… Beds are made… Shutters are shut (keeping the house cool)… The river just got a little healthy top-up… & Most importantly we have a great group coming together for some serious 26+2 fun (can’t wait to see you!!). 📆 PLEASE NOTE a few Livestream Class Schedule changes this week: - No Yoga Homework (back to normal next week) - Weds 26+2 is 1 hour earlier this week at 5.15pm (bc of the eclipse!) - Sat 26+2 is 90-min format - It’s a FULL, NORMAL SCHEDULE NEXT WEEK - & Of course that includes a fun-filled Pilates class with George @hotpilatesmovement on Sunday 🌞Wishing you a wonderful week, With Metta, K & J xx . . #yogawithmetta #mettayoga #kristinyoga #peyrounet #26and2

Yoga & meditation with us followed by art lessons with Emma, with the surroundings of Peyrounet & St Antonin Noble Val… We are so fortunate to be able to host events like these & share in a week with you all. 📸 Here are more than a few photo & video shares – I think the hummingbird moth from Claire is our favourite, what a stunning slo-mo capture – but then there was the nightjar who always deservedly steals the show! 🤩🙌 🤸🏻‍♀️🔌⚡️ We welcome our next group in just over one week – 26+2 Intensive Yogis of July – who will all be returning for the second year, together! It’s fully booked, but if you do want to join us this summer we still have a space for you on our 26+2 à la Campagne Retreat 24-31 July, or if you want to take part in an Intensive, join the waitlist for our August 26+2 Intensive 12-17 Aug because it is possible that one person who is registered can’t join the 26+2 practice party after all….

Thanks to those of you who’ve been in touch to share your experiences last week & to those of you who have shared experiences along those lines in the past. 🕊️ Did you know that yoga practitioners are more able to tolerate frustration discomfort than non-practitioners?

And is a continuation on last week’s theme, inspired by our yoga history course we’ve just completed. It talks about Viveka (discernment, or right knowledge), both in terms of it being a big part of the path, & also necessary in determining what it is that we are doing in our asana practice & how to take what we find in our ‘dress rehearsal’ (time on the mat) into our daily lives – so that our words & actions can be that much more skilful & impactful. 📆 It’s another week of Full Live-Stream Class Schedule – 12X opportunities to get on your mat with @johnny.johnny.yoga on Weds, @hotpilatesmovement on Sun & K for all of the above. 📸 This week’s photos: 🍒 Cherry plum tree in full bloom – so resilient after quite the extreme winter! ☸️ J in SH2K – a posture that demos being free of confusion, distraction & agitation. 🏹 K in standing bow – another posture to demo the same 🧀 Bear also demos his clear intentions – as he begs for cheese @lehouxestou 🌱🪻 @peyrounet coming back to life 🥳 My Auntie Jeanie (my grandma’s little sister) turns 100 tomorrow!!

☔️ We re-emerge on social media after a little for ☔️ We re-emerge on social media after a little forced quiet time @peyrounet . Storm Nils resulted in three large oaks being uprooted, two of which fell onto our power line, & 5 days waiting for repairs… but it wasn’t all that bad thanks to our neighbours @loupapagai_gite_de_groupe who offered us their cosy guest space so that we could keep offering yoga classes until our power was back up! 🔌 We not-so-secretly enjoy unplugging, living a more simple life when needs must, & sometimes actively seek out opportunities to simplify more than usual. It is always interesting to see what we’ve become reliant on, distracted by, & to see how resourceful we can be when we need to be! Although we have a lot of clearing up to do – those are some big trees (which will warm us all over again next winter). 🌷 In the middle of the storm, I found these daffodils growing in the middle of a field - & now all of the spring bulbs are popping up, all over & all at once! 💌 This week’s Monday email has some content…! Including a little exploration of the concepts of Abhaysa, Maya & Pratyahara & how we can all benefit from taking a step in the direction of simplicity (& especially when it is rooted in discipline, commitment & patience). 📆 It’s another week of Full Live-Stream Class Schedule – 12X opportunities to get on your mat with @johnny.johnny.yoga on Weds, @hotpilatesmovement on Sun & K for all of the above. 📸 Throwback to 2024 @lanoyoga during our ‘Joy in Repetition’ workshops – such a fun weekend! We are still singing the praises of all of the joy to be found in repetition… and this is the last week to register/pay your deposit for our 26+2 Teacher Training & receive the Early Bird rate! Of course you can still register, until June in fact, but we hope that you’ll join us early so that you can start preparing now – such a strong group shaping up already & we are so excited for our TT this autumn! 🌞 Wishing you a lovely week & much Metta K & J xx #yogawithmetta #mettayoga #26and2 #hotyoga #yogateachertraining
