CLASS CANCELLATIONS
Due to road closures for the Dubai Tour bike race this weekend, I'm sorry to announce that the Sunrise Beach Yoga session for 8 February is cancelled. For more information about road closures in and around Dubai from 6-8 February, follow this link: http://gulfnews.com/
The following week (14-15 February) Yogafest will be held at the Dubai Internet City Amphitheatre. This is a FREE event and yoga, meditation, pilates, family and food events will take place from 7am-7pm both days. Check out their website and register for this worthwhile event. Due to the overlap of YogaFest and the Sunrise Beach Yoga session timings, theSunrise Beach Yoga class is cancelled for 15 February.
Sunrise Beach Yoga will return to its regular schedule on Saturday 22 February.
YOGA AT SAFA PARK - FRI, 7 FEBRUARY
The good news is, there is another opportunity to join me for an outdoor yoga session this weekend. I will be teaching withOpen Air Yoga Dubai on Friday morning (7 February) at 8:30am at Safa Park. To find us, go through the new (temporary) Gate 5 and follow the path to the Ripe Market. You will find us to the left of the Market under the palm trees. This is a donation-based yoga class and all proceeds in February will benefit Babies Behind Bars - a very worthwhile charity right here in Dubai. After our yoga session, stick around and try Acro Yoga with the OAYD teachers or head to the market for a freshly made latte and delicious breakfast. What a fantastic way to begin the weekend!
YOGA UNDER THE STARS
Another opportunity to practice yoga in the fresh air presents itself each Monday evening. Now that the weather has warmed up a bit, we've moved our Monday evening Hatha Flow class outdoors to the garden. It feels so great to flow through the practice under the moon and stars serenaded by the birds as they nestle down for the evening. All levels are welcomed to Hatha Flow and the reasonable 50 aed per person rate makes the class very affordable.
RECIPE OF THE WEEK:
Many of us are trying to lessen the amount of carbohydrates we eat each day by eliminating bread, pasta and rice from our daily diets. If you miss those lovely pasta dishes as much as I do, consider making zucchini (courgette) pasta. It maintains the texture of noodles without the heaviness of the carbohydrates. There are also loads of recipes to go along with zucchini noodles. Enjoy!
