Yoga Safaris with a Difference.

It was about this time last year, just when it had started snowing, that I looked back over the year I realised what a roller coaster of the year it had been. The recession had hit me hard, there was little money in my bank account, I had had an emergency operation on my neck and there had been a bereavement in the family. So here I am sitting in my office, looking out of my window, and watching the predicted 8 inches of snow falling, and looking back over a completely different year. This year has been a great year for work, there is money in the bank, I am fighting fit and healthy and so are my family and friends.

So what makes this year different from all the others?

There are a number of things that have made 2010 a great year for myself. Firstly, the enforced timeout after my operation made me think about my priorities in my life, both personal and business, which I applied this year. It opened my mind to be able to identify opportunities when they revealed themselves, and not to go rushing around hunting those opportunities down. Instead I just let them come to me. It was inspiring how it all happened. Secondly, I spent a little bit more time with friends and family, although I have to admit I need to increase this in 2011 as the balance is still not quite right. Thirdly, I made more time for myself, me time is exceptionally important. And lastly, the most important thing of all, is that I had belief in myself and what I was doing, I had direction, I had focus.

Which is why I want to help others get back onto the right track and become successful too. Sense Africa has a Yoga Safari going to Malawi in May next year, where your holiday is combined with a time for self-discovery, a time for time out and a time to move forward. I do confess that I cannot provide all of this which is why Liz Foster, a professional coach and yoga instructor, is accompanying the trip. And you couldn't do this in a more inspiring location such as Malawi!
