Margaret Meade said it best, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.”

Be more alive this 2013. Be more aware of your words, your actions, your thoughts, your deeds. We are each and every one of us responsible for the change we want to see in our universe – so be a committed group of citizens and change the world.

Have an amazing start to your New Year

Off the Mat, Into the World

I am sooooo supporting this amazing charity. The founder members are fabulous yoginis and teachers who are encouraging us all to make a difference. To turn the individual consciousness and what you do as an individual on your mat into the collective consciousness. Take your goodness and spread it. Shift that to a collective level. Any small difference can make waves and huge differences - you may never know how and why but it will and it can.
Feel inspired, empowered and enlivened and go and do something amazing....

The Yoga Festival in Val d'Isere will be supoorting this great charity and trying to spread some collective joy ..... come and help us do just that!

Summer muses......
Love to all my yogi friends out there either enjoying sunny climbs or sadly bathing in rainy clouds. Have an absolutely amazing Summer and don't forget you can still practise loads with me on www.yogachezmoi.com. Every week I plan out a theme for the week guiding you through sessions and each weekend there is a free session to do online so come along and join the tribe and above all keep practising, sharing, smiling and being happy with your space.
Amazing Summer Blessings to you all....
La Recette du Mois..... Recipe of the Month



Raisin Nut Balls

Very festive especially if you add the cinnamon and nutmeg spices and place the balls in tiny paper cake holders....
To make around 15 - 20 balls
75g raisins
50g unsalted nuts such as hazelnuts or almonds
50g butter melted (you can also use tahini or peanut butter instead of butter)
25g shredded unsweetened coconut
Spices

Chop the raisins in a food processor or blender to a medium/fine texture and place in a bowl. Add the nuts to the food processor and mix these to a fine texture as well. Mix the nuts and raisins together and then add the melted butter and the spices of your choice - I use ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix well. For the mixture into small balls and then roll them in the grated coconut before placing them in the cake cases and then in the fridge so that they go a little hard and keep fresh. Serve them on a decorated plate or place in a box as a gift for a friend.

Les Boules de Raisins et Noix
Très bien a cette époque de l'année surtout si vous utilisez les épices de la saison.
Pour faire environ 15 -20 boules
75g raisins
50g noix ou d'amandes (sans sel)
50g beurre fondu
25g noix de coco (petit morceau)
Epices

Placez les raisins dans a mixeur et mixez-les - placez -les dans un bol et placez les noix dans le mixeur et pareil mixez. Mélangez les noix et les raisins avant de rajouter le beurre et les épices de votre choix - j'utilise la cannelle, le gingembre et le noix de muscade. Faites des boules avec le mixture et roulez-les dans le noix de coco pour les couvrir. Placez-les dans les petits papier gâteau et mettez-les au frigo. Servez sur une assiette décorée ou dans une boite pour offrir....

So its almost time to go back to school and with the new moon energy this week and ideal time to have a clean up - both physically and mentally in your own being and in your environment too.

Alors presque la rentree des classes et avec l'energie de la nouvelle lune cette semaine un moment ideale de faire un peu de nettoyage du corps et du mental ainsi que de votre environnement. Jetez, donnez, rangez mais creez de l'espace enlevant tout ce qui n'est pas utile dans votre vie maintenant. Bonne rentree!

Quote for the day - Citation du jour

Enthusiasm is a great power. Those with it can never be disheartened because it simplifies all difficulties. L'enthousiasme est une force importante. Ceux avec cette qualite ne peuvent jamais etre devies car il simplifie toutes difficultes.

Summertime Heat & the Full Moon

So here in the Ardeche we have had probably the strangest Summer ever in terms of the weather with everything from freezing wind, very hot days and cold nights, storms, clouds, mistral - it is no wonder we are all over the place mentally. And to top it all it is the full moon so take some time over the next few days to ground down, go within and breath.Practise some very slow salutations - lunar or solar your choice! and try and feel each movement and each breath you take. Be at peace with yourself - enjoy being alive. Alors ici en Ardeche nous avons surement eu l'ete le plus bizarre cote temps avec tout du mistral, de la pluie, des vents froids, des journees chaudes et finalement aujourd'hui une journee digne de l'ete. Et maintenant juste pour rajouter un peu d'energie pertubee la pleine lune. Alors pendant les prochains quelques jours allez vers l'interieur, pratiquez des salutations lunaires ou solaires lentement et ecouter chauqe inspiration et chaque expiration. Soyez en paix avec vous meme - soyez heureux d'etre en vie! Namaste

Cake Recipe for all to enjoy! - Recette de gateaux!!!!

Butterfly Cakes - for children of all ages & events of all kinds!
So my children love these partly because they taste good partly cos' they are fun to make! You will need : 200g butter, 200g caster sugar, Vanilla essence (a few drops), 2 large organic eggs, lightly beaten, 200g flour & a sachet off baking powder, A little jam – I use my homemade apricot, Thick cream, A few smarties & some liquorice & some icing sugar : Cream the butter, vanilla essence and sugar until creamy then beat the eggs separately. Add the flour (with the baking powder) and eggs progressively to the butter mix and when well mixed fill some paper cake cases prepared in a metal baking dish and bake at 180 degrees from 15-20 minutes or until golden. When the cakes have cooled down cut a circle shape into the top of the cake making sure you point the knife towards the centre to form a point. Turn this piece of cake point up and cut in half. Put some jam and then thick cream into the hole you have created in the cake then take the two small pieces of cake you have just cut out and turn them point down into the cream to form the wings of your butterfly. Decorate with some smarties, liquorice to form the antenna and dust with icing sugar – JOB DONE!
Gateaux de Papillon: 200g de beurre, 200g de sucre fin, Essence de vanille (quelques goutes), 2 gros œufs bio battus, 200g de farine et un sachet de levure non chimique, Un peu de confiture (j’utilise ma confiture d’abricot), Crème épaisse , Quelques smarties, un peu de reglisse et un peu de sucre glacé - Mélanger le beurre, essence de vanille et sucre pour obtenir un mélange crémeux et battre les œufs (à part). Mélanger progressivement le beurre/sucre avec la farine et les œufs et quand bien mélangé verser un peu de mixture dans des papiers à gâteaux. Mettre dans le four pour 15-20 minutes ou jusqu’à doré. Quand les gâteaux sont froid couper un cercle dans le haut des gâteaux faisant un point et couper ce morceau un deux. Mettre un peu de confiture et de crème dans le trou de chaque gâteaux et mettre les deux petit bouts de gâteaux dans la crème comme des ailes. Décorer les gâteaux avec les smarties, le reglisse comme antenne et soupoudrer avec le sucre glacé !

Les 5 Point Chauds pour un été plein de Gratitude / 5 Hot tips for a Summer full of Loving Kindess





Les 5 Point Chauds pour un été plein de Gratitude / 5 Hot tips for a Summer full of Loving Kindess Cet été prenez le temps de vivre autrement avec une simplicité qui vient du cœur n’oubliant jamais que nous sommes tous pareils et que nous voulons souvent tous la même chose…






  • Souriez – smile à quelqu’un que vous ne connaissez pas tous les jours et faites le du cœur




  • Donnez quelque chose gratuitement tous les jours – du temps, de la nourriture, un vêtement ou juste une pensée




  • Envoyez de la gratitude autour de vous tous les jours – prenez un instant pour vous concentrer sur cette chose et envoyez du cœur votre gratitude




  • Soyez positive dans toute situations – les bouddhistes disent que nous avons besoins de nos problèmes car nous avons besoin de leurs solutions


  • Prenez le temps pour vous – 5 minutes à 1 heure par jour juste pour vous. Pour mèditer, pratiquer du yoga, contempler le jardin, les montagnes ou le cadre devant vous. Soyez bien là où vous êtes.

    This Summer take the time to live differently with a simplicity that costs little and that comes from the heart space – don ‘t forget that we are all the same and we all ultimately want the same things….








  • Smile – at a total stranger and do so from the heart




  • Give something to someone every day – time, a gift, an item of clothing, some food or just some prayers




  • Send out gratitude around you every day – take a moment to concentrate on the thing you wish to thank each day and send from your heart thanks




  • Be Positive – even in dark times take the positive approach. The Buddhists believe that we need our problems because we need their solutions so welcome your problems as gifts




  • Take the time for you – 5 minutes or an hour but take the time to meditate, practise yoga or contemplate where you are fully

Chakra Namaskar - Shiva Rea's beautiful & inspiring teachings

Donc de retour apres un voyage intense en Angleterre qui s'est termine avec 4 jours avec Shiva Rea et ses magnifiques enseignments - cette fois si sur le chakra namaskar - la pratqiue a l'ecoute des elements et leur relations avec le corps. Un lacher prise total qui harmonise mental et corps a travers des postures, de la musique et des meditations. Un groupe de gens splendide et une energie puissante. Mes copines yoginis m'ont accompagner tout au long des ces quelques jours y compris Ann malone et ses hangs - un veritable plaisir! Tous ses experiences seront integres donc ma pratique et dans les seances a venir......So back now from an intense trip to the UK which finished with 4 days with Shiva Rea and her amazing teachings - this time on Chakra Namaskar - a practise based on the elements and their link to our body. A total harmony created by oneself for oneself to find that inner balance. My yogini friends were with me for the 4 days and we moved in harmony creating some amazing energy despite the cold wind and rain outside! God bless Shiva and no doubt I will see her and the samudra sacred fire tending crowd soon!

Beautiful words for lost ones

A have just found out that some friends of mine lost their beautiful daughter louise to a drugs related accident and Vicky her Mum was sent this beautiful poem that I wanted to share with you all.....hold on tight to those you love :
by Taos Pueblo
Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth, Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree which stands by itself, Hold on to what you must doeven if it is a long way from here, Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you.

Meditation for you to enjoy

One of my inspirations when I started meditating was Jack Kornfield and his beautiful book A Path With Heart. This is one of his meditations that I still enjoy regularly....: find a quiet spot, breath slowly and deeply and repeat metally the following for as long as you like letting the sentiment filter through body and mind...
May I be filled with loving kindess
May I be well
May I be peaceful and at ease
May I be Happy

A beautiful Message

Pema Chödrön says, "To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest. To live fully is to be always in no-man's-land, to experience each moment as completely new and fresh.’’

Vasant Pachami

This is an Indian festival and a time to celebrate the first signs of Spring. It is a time dedicated to saraswati and to invoking Kamadeva (the Lord of Love) with his consort Rati - the Goddess of Desire!. It is a time for Sringara Rasa - the fluid and spontaneous juice and joy of life so flow with life's natural creativity and allow the body and mind to ned and be flexible! Namaste

Sessions filmed - les cours filmes

The Style of Yoga I Teach

Le Style de Yoga que j’enseigne – the Style of Yoga I teach
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many people have been asking me what type of yoga I teach and where my influences come from – so I thought I’d answer it here and put this on the blog site too. I started with an Ashtanga base in London and an amazing teacher called Consuela and then when I left London and moved to Val studied on my own a mixture of David Swenson’s and Beryl Bender Birch’s Ashtanga Yoga and some hatha yoga Sivananda style. I then did a teacher training (and subsequently an advanced teacher training with the Sivananda school and their hatha Vedanta yoga. I have since discovered the amazing energy of vinyasa flow via Shiva Rea and the deeper practise of Yin Yoga and Para Yoga with Sarah Powers and Rod Stryker answering my need to flow with the current of universal energy. I continue to study Ashtanga style classes with David Swenson, Marla Meenakshi & Ron Reid but more and more I am developing my own style of practise. Shiva Rea remains a constant influence as she is a reminder of living with the spontaneous flow of nature and answering the call of spanda (the vibrant energy that flows around us) – huge thanks to all of my many teachers and may this learning path be long and fruitful!

Pennies For Peace

This year I will be collecting money - spare change - for this amazing campaign Pennise for Peace. Greg Mortenson is a shining example to all of selfless service as he tries to build a firm foundation for peace through building schools for kids - especially girls so a subject close to my heart -in rural Pakistan and Afganistan so this year I will be raising money for them. I will donate an amount of money from my own yoga earning this Winter and as and wehn you feel you can and want to give throughout the season please do so. The Gratitude Skis and Walks this year will have a voluntary donation amount too and this will go towards the efforts of https://www.ikat.org/ and this incredible team of people. Please give generously as they not only have to cope with poverty and little schooling on a daily basis the floods recently have left many even more vulnerable.
Cette annee je vais faire une collecte pour la charity Pennies For Peace https://www.ikat.org/ - une charite qui cree des ecoles dans les endroit tres rural de Pakistan et d'Afganistan - surtout pour les filles et a travers leurs efforts esperent creer une atmosphere de paix. Vous pouvez donner a n'importe quel moment de la saison et les sorties de Ski Avec Gratitude seront aussi un bon platform pour donner ce que vous souhaiter pour ces personnes tres vulnerables. Namaste et merci d'avance.

Gratitude Ski

Comme l'annee derniere je vais recommencer le ski avec gratitude apres les fetes pour bien demarrer la nouvelle annee.....Date a fixer jeudi 17 fevrier a 12.30 rdv en bas de Bellevarde Val d'Isere......Biensur nous partons sur le principe que cette sortie est gratuite mais cette annee je commence un collection de Pennies for Peace (Centimes pour la paix) - donc si vous voulez donner quelques pieces chaque fois que vous venez avec nous cela ira a cette suberpe charite qui contruit les ecoles pour les enfants - surtout les filles - a Pakistan et Afganistan. Vois mon message lie a cette charite..... So this year we will be meeting as last for a gratitude ski and I have noted Thursday 17th Jan as the first outing - meeting at 12.30pm at the bottom of Bellevarde. The same principles apply as last year so free to come and offer your gratitude to the universe but this year should you wish to donate some spare coins they will all go to the Pennies for Peace campaign - part of an amazing charity lead by Greg Mortenson (see seperate message) who builds schools for kids - especially girls - in rural Pakistan and Afganistan.....warmth and light to you all
