⏰ 9:00 – 10:30am
Hounsdown Community Centre

Join me for:
✨ Hatha Flow Yoga

Doris and I nearly made it to IOW - it's blowin' a hoolie !
Walking a chihuahua is not for the feint of heart...
Is she going to be cute or reveal her inner 😈
It's really hard to tell !
Really though it's only other dogs she hates.

She's a peopley dog to be honest 😃

I'm on a mission to do 10 000 steps a day. Doris maxes out at about 2. Freyja helps with the rest. . .

And yes, walking to and from class counts as steps! I need to take the long way round :)

How are you getting your extra steps in every day, or don't you need them ?

Changing the world of foster dog

Happy Sunday, frenz 🐾💛

If you’ve been reading my newsletters, you’ll know I’ve been collecting towels for Freyja’s rescue organisation, Hungary Hearts. Since December we’ve collected 10 BLACK BAGS OF TOWELS!!!
YOU GUYS. Can you believe it?! 😭🙌

These have been so gratefully received by the poor doggies in shelters in Hungary. If you’ve been following along, you’ll know we fostered a dog just before Christmas (Millie), and she went to a stunning home in Southsea 🏡✨

And now… we’ve just collected another pup and traded in the last of the towels.
Bella, who is 10 months old, is learning quickly: sit, no, down, don’t chew that, what is that in your mouth, don’t chew that, get down, good girl… WHAT A GOOD GIRL! 😅🐶

She’s going to make a family so happy. Super cute, loads of fun, bundles of energy… and yes, I’m a bit tired 😴💙

Bella (marble) and Millie (blonde) 🐕🐕

I really thought I’d never be able to foster. The last time we tried, we failed almost instantly. But Suki has many, many issues, and in hindsight, she would have been one of those dogs passed around, never really settling. She’s actually fine here, even though she’s basically a little troll who growls at everything 👹😂

Letting go is hard. But the art of letting go is best practised regularly. I’m teaching myself that letting go doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing 🤍

I keep reminding myself why. There is always a greater good. There is always someone to help. And while I can’t change the world… I can change the world for someone, 2 legged or 4 legged, who deserves a chance 🌍🐾✨

A Christmas Wish

I’ll be taking some old towels to the rescue that Freyja and Suki came from (see below for their *very* sad, very persuasive begging faces 🥺🐶🐶).

If you have any towels only, please that are ready to be repurposed this year, I’d love it if you could bring them along to class 🧺
And if you have some but can’t make it to class, just let me know.

They’ll be taken to Hungary, to shelters where many dogs are sadly left in truly appalling conditions. Towels make a huge difference helping keep these souls warmer through the winter ❄️🤍

Here’s a link to their page below if you’d like to see the incredible work they do.

Also Potato Doris would like to add she supports this!
Pls comment below or get in touch via Whatapp.

Thank you, and wil love,
Freyka, Suki, Doris & Michelle

I'm back from Cape Town!

I landed on Monday morning, travel-weary with airplane knees and heavy legs, and still wondering if the Earth somehow grew in size while I was gone… because, wow, that flight felt never-ending.

I don’t remember international flights to South Africa being quite so long or quite so painful to sit through. The journey was broken into two via Addis Ababa (hello, Ethiopia!), and while the first leg wasn’t too bad, the second… gah.

Let’s just say I’m still recovering. I was very happy to move with our Monday 6.05pm community class, it felt great after 2 weeks of not really moving, and eating too much.

My very best friend Kim (who does not take no for an answer) insisted I be there for her 50th birthday. So off I went!

The highlight for me? A spontaneous, epic 12-minute helicopter ride over Cape Town Harbour and the glorious Twelve Apostles, closely followed by sitting in the most stunning tree I’ve ever met (shhh, don’t tell the other trees).

In a nutshell, my two weeks consisted of:
🌟 Three birthday parties: A high tea, a Great Gatsby night, and an '80s throwback bash
🌟 Cake - lots of it. Possibly too much...
🌟 Gorgeous food and even better company
🌟 A helicopter ride
🌟 A two-day hot springs retreat in the mountains
🌟 Spending quality time with my bestie & family peeps

Back to classes!
Classes are now back to normal until 18th August, when we’ll pause for a two-week summer break.

🌿Fancy a walk with me on Sunday?🌿

Join me on Sunday, 27th July, 8.30am @ Lepe Beach

Join me for a free Seva Yoga walk around the Lepe Loop. We’ll meet in the grassy parking area near the lighthouse and start/end there. Toilets are in the other car park, but no judgement if you opt for a nature wee!

🐾 Dogs welcome.
The tides aren’t right for a swim this time, but bring a flask of tea and enjoy it with good company at the end. Parking is paid on exit.
Distance: 5.9 miles (9.3 km)
Duration: 2-3 hours

👉 All the details & booking on my website: www.michelleasaro.com

As always, I can’t wait to see you in class, or out walking under the trees.

With love,
Michelle 🌿

I did a thing! 😂 Accidentally took a helicopter ride with my bestie!
Table Mountain with her table cloth. Quite a spectacular sight from the air.

Possibly the best 12 min of my life !! Highly recommended
