What a fab weekend it was at the Masters of Calm Yoga Festival on the beautiful isle of Inis Rath: time to play around in the forest (big “holi” face on me and all 😂) and to try out classes in lots of styles from Kundalini to “Buddha Walking” to “Yininstinct” (a new personal fav). Feeling inspired 😊🧘🏼♀️🕉
