While on holiday, I’m one to skip any organized exercise all together and opt solely for playful movement. Another option (my husband’s) is simple pushups, sit-ups and squats first thing in the morning and last thing before bed.

What shall we do today Kampers? Life is good when you are your own Kounselor; No forms, no packing lists, no weather updates, no transportation issues, no allergies, no early mornings, no problemo.

| Urdhva Mukha Pasasana - Thread the Needle Pose While basking in the sun on a lounge chair, I organized my children’s sewing kits. 🧵 |
Soak up the sun to soak up the source: I always feel transported to an alternate universe and able to access other realms when sun bathing.

In the Summer it is unlikely to find me in the yoga studio, but instead out in the dazzling weather putting my steadfast indoor Winter practice to practical use out in the wild.

| Tri Pada Adho Mukha Svanasana - Three-Legged Downward Facing Dog Both its own active stretch and a transition. |

| Sirsasana ~ Headstand variation To safeguard my neck, I typically headstand with tripod arms. |
When I was growing up, the day school ended my family and I flew (fled?) to the French Riviera and returned to the USA only after the school supplies had - much to my dismay - run out at the American stores. Summer was not filled with planned activities or camps or playdates but with open-ended European road trips and unhurried, unstructured, seemingly endless days chez nous en Provence. 🪻🪻🪻
With my four petites being ages 3-13, it is likely not prudent to emulate this relaxed, improvisational, détendue, and highly unAmerican protocol, but I am going to give it a shot. I will let you know how it goes...

| Sirsasana - Headstand variation Loving red-white-blue (plus pink). |
In preparation - or was it the opposite? - for this Summer I said sayonara to my week-daily sunrise yoga, I eschewed all camps for the kiddos, we bought only one-way airplane tickets, and I haven’t sought out a single sitter. Naturally, I am becoming petrified and beginning to panic as school winds its way down (4 kids - 10 year spread - 75 straight days!), but this weekend is going so well I think it’s going to be the best Summer yet!!! 💙🤍❤️ ✌️🤞😎😎😎😎😎🤞✌️❤️🤍💙

I go gaga for fashion and design inspo when out and about. Secluded to a yacht for 7 days was, surprisingly, no exception. The staff on our latest seaward adventure has me thinking: What are the attractive and serviceable uniforms that allow me to execute dutifully? …
Yacht crew uniforms create a professional and cohesive image for your team, enhancing the overall guest experience aboard luxury vessels. These uniforms ensure your team looks polished but also promote unity and functionality in their demanding roles. High-quality yacht staff uniforms are designed for comfort and durability, meeting the unique challenges of life at sea.

Vacation vibes: Lots of family trips lately, lots of lovely bonding, but it is time to park the traveling circus and put a romantic getaway on deck. We have it all, just not all at once by reflecting on each excursion’s aims, expectations and emphasis ahead of time as not to miss the holiday’s inherent distinctive opportunity.
