One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There’s magic in the smallest of things:
* the spontaneous invitation to dance with bride and groom during an Egyptian wedding * the reassuring words (I figured) of a sweet Tibetan grandma when forced to visit a hospital due to altitude sickness * the amazing family dinner at the home of my Nepalese guide * the hours spent watching rainbows in the water rather than learning how to surf (although I made up for those hours, I could still use some lessons!) * catching my very first wave * finally being able to do that headstand!

Teach, Learn, Share

While on holiday, I once taught a yoga class for surfers at the request of the resident yoga teacher, allowing him to participate in a class himself. Glad to help out anyway I can ;-).
