Paris Fashion Week roundup

Whilst I love some of the shows that take place in other cities, it’s the Paris shows that have me following avidly. I’ve mentioned my obsession with French style so many times now it must be boring but I can’t resist picking out my favourite looks to share.

Borough Market and London Bridge

Three photos I enjoyed taking today

Sunrise yoga

I’ve been wanting start my early morning yoga sessions again for a while but the cold and dark mornings don’t really give you the suppleness and energy you need to maintain a routine.

I have a really big bedroom with enough floor space to practice unhindered and, as I’m on the 4th floor, I have an amazing view of the sunrise over London. Just like the photo below in fact.

My routine is this:

  1. Sit cross legged for a minute or two to wake up and settle the breathing. Begin to breathe through your stomach rather than your chest.
  2. 10 repetitions of sun salutations, 5 on each side.
  3. Spinal twist
  4. Hanging back stretch
  5. Warrior 1 or 2
  6. Hip stretching

It’s a really nice way to introduce a few moments of calm and mindfulness in to my pretty hectic days. I get in the shower feeling relaxed, alert and ready to go.
