A Parisian Itch

I have an itch, a Parisian itch, which shows no sign of abating.

Although it is a City I know well, I would like to linger longer in Montmartre.

As is so often in City's, we dash through the recommended 'must sees'.

Montmartre, with it's musicians and artists in the square, the morning hustle 

and bustle and the smell of croissants and fresh coffee, the magnificent architecture and overlooking it all the beautiful Sacre Couer. 

As night falls the energy grows and the lights just make it so magical. 

So many colourful characters too, mesmerising, just grab a coffee and people 

watch to your hearts content!

Looking on airbnb I found some really small sweet pied a terres, from as little as £27.00 

per night right in the heart of Montmartre. 

 

Montmartre, I will be back!
What areas of Paris are your favourites - would love to hear!

Nurturing The Body

Way back in April, I set myself a Thirty Day Challenge. 

& here we are in August! How did that happen?

The challenge was to do yoga daily  - this challenge did not quite work out....

I did do a few sessions.......

I started Pilates one to one sessions at the same time, to improve my back pain - a preventative measure rather than a treatment, which is what I usually go for.

Since my third session my back has been so much better, slowly building up my core muscles, strengthening my back, making connections and improving my flexibility. 

I find myself concentrating on my breathing more and noticing and adjusting my posture. 

Bonus - my tummy is looking flatter too!!

I now attend a class once or twice weekly. 

Although Pilates isn't particularly spiritual, it has enabled me to 'meditate' 

in the calming studio before everyone arrives for class, something I am only able to do when thoroughly chilled - I love it, me time. 

So, the thirty day yoga challenge.....didn't quite work out, but I do do Pilates exercises at home a couple of times a week - this counts right?

Who else does Pilates?
Who manages to motivate themselves to exercise at home?
