Gypsy caravan

The time has come to use my last year1s birthday present from Gergő- a weekend away in a yoga camp. Mária, my yoga teacher (I go once a week) has been organising this camp for a few years now, in a beautiful villa by the Balaton, in Balatonmáriafürdő. 12 people (2 in a room, I stayed with Judit who I know from the evening classes), we came for two nights, with 6 hours of yoga on the full day and a bit less on the days of arrival and departure. Hard work it was but felt great, plenty of herbal tea and vegetarian food was prepared by the villa owners, sauna was heated to keep us sweating between the runs to the outdoor pool in the evenings.
I managed to survive almost the entire weekend in Hungarian, although most people did speak English and some insisted on practicing their English rather than hearing my Hungarian (yes, please!).

The weekend coincided with Real Madrid claiming another champions league title (3rd in a row, may I add), so I had to break off from the yoga campers on Saturday evening and spend a few hours under a big screen in a local bar.

So- a beautiful weekend away which I am hoping to repeat the next year too- the dates are already decided so just need to sign up.Read more
