What's it like to actually SLEEP on a boat, for 7 days?!
What if I get seasick?
Will I be able to hack it?
These questions were dancing into my mind last year,
along with a sense of excitement and adventure
at the thought of trying something totally new!
Hello dear,
You may not know this about me, but I've suffered from motion sickness my entire life. Literally from the moment I could speak, I complained about my tummy hurting on road trips with my family.
Honestly, I was a bit intimidated by the thought of 7 full days on a sailboat. Armed with acupressure wrist bands, I threw caution to the wind and went for it.
That first long sail did finally get to me, but with the help of our gracious Skipper, who advised me to take the helm, I managed to keep my nausea at bay. Check out the pic above, as this is when I started feeling the seasickness coming on, and learned to steer the boat! This, coupled with some serious pranayama and natural herb patches behind my ears, I managed. So well, that at one point while laying in bed, I didn't even feel the motion of the boat!
I love these moments of meeting my edge. I see this on the mat in asana practice- both in the physical and mental realms. I love that our practice gives us very practical tools when faced with our true Yoga (off the mat, and in life!). I let my breath be my guide and bring me back to my natural equilibrium. I learned that Sailing, IS Yoga. To embrace the flow and movement of the boat, and not to fight it. To keep my drishti (gaze of focus) honed on the horizon, to where we are going. All of this and things begin to fall into place.
This week was truly a week of inner discovery for me. It was also a week of adventure. Meeting new people, exploring new places, as well as my inner landscape. I had such a potent and transformative week that I'm organzing another THIS SUMMER July 2-9th. I do hope you can join us, this will be a week to offer yourself a gift like no other.
