I was supposed to write about my recent trip but then upon seeing my drafts, I realized, I have several posts that never made it toย โpublishedโ stage. I vow to make improvements this year so here goes my first blood.
I donโt go out a lot these days like I used to when I was younger (donโt ask). Yes! #gorproblems are for real! But my adventurous nature is alive and kicking from within. So when I got invited to join a wakeboard + sunset and sunrise yoga retreat, I JUMPED IN! Iโve always dying to tryย โem.
My yoga teacher, AJ of CebuYoga, made it all convenient for us when she proposed the package ALL IN. We didnโt have to worry about anyhing except for the stuffs that we may need to ourselves for the trip. Check out her page via Facebook โEvents by AJโ.ย
We arrived around lunch time and luckily got to enjoy the place all by ourselves. Iโve got to socialize too and meet interesting people, something that I rarely do these days (LOL). I just feel that Iโm overly exposed to people that the weekend is my time to cave in haha. Is there even such thing? But not this weekend.
Weโve got to stay the night at this lovely white house adjacent to the park and overlooking the entire marina. Itโs fully air conditioned with 2 restrooms. If you plan to make reservations, make sure you brought our own utensils and you have a home.
As the sun is starting to set, we started setting up for our sunset yoga. It was my first time to experience such and it was beautiful as the energy it exudes.ย
We choose to buy take out โlechonโย (roasted pork) and โpusoโ (hanging rice) for our dinner as itโs not every time weโve got a chance to eat it and of course, itโs everyoneโs favorite (such a lame excuse but whatever). We enjoyed our dinner paired with wine and beer....s to end the night and get ready to start our morning strong with sunrise yoga.ย
But first, coffee!!! After our intense sunrise yoga, we head for a typical filipino breakfastย โsilogโ (anything with rice and egg). A few of us got to enjoy the pool and wakeboard some more before heading home.
The weekend reminds me a lot of things about living. That life is all about finding balance. For you to glide in life, you will need to push through the waters and allow yourself to be pulled by the cable. It also means breathing through your pain and testing your limits. Itโs about bending and flexing in the moment. Get stoked and get strong. Namaste.ย
Cebu Wake Park is at the same compound with Papakitโs Marina and Fishing Lagoon. More information can be found on their website http://cebuwakepark.com/ย All photos are mine except for those with credits. Head on to my instagram "grashyabellaโ for more recent adventure ;)
