AFRICA...Wow. Cant seem to stay away from the place!!!
Ive been to Kenya 10 times in 5 years!! Been all over the country and have safaried my brains out!! Fed Giraffes & Baby Elephants, Ridden Ostriches, Giant Tortoises & one seriously temperamental Camel!!
Other adventures have included Uganda - White Water Rafting on the Nile...CARNAGE!!

My charity (CHEKA) is fun, exciting and brilliant! Seeing what a difference can be made to people that are suffering around the world really inspires me to try and make a difference.

ADD CHEKA AS YOUR MYSPACE FRIEND
Looking to meet fellow yogis and continue exploring my mind, body and spirit through practice.

My Interests

I love yoga, being upside down, community, AcroYoga, summer, sunshine, massage, lots of laughing (best is when you laugh so much you fall off your chair...!), spontaneous random adventures, hugs, love, kettle chips, cups of tea, cold beer, days when my alarm doesnt go off, days when i get to do as much yoga as I like, playing my harmonium, chanting the h-chalisa, POI, tusker malt, open fires on freezing nights, looking at stars - especially shooters, and sports: YOGA, ACROYOGA, Trampolining, & Rugby [Quins!!! KHRFC]

I'd like to meet:

Compassionate Contortionists, Yantra Loving Yogis, Hands on & Hands off Healers, Astonishing Acrobats, Introverted Extroverts, People that walk on their hands as much as their feet, People that shine bright like stars, People that walk on clouds, and People that walk on water, People that laugh and sing in their sleep, People that have ants in their pants, People that have a heart for all the amazing unbelievable kids in Africa!

There is not enough Bhakti in the world...LOVE IS THE DOOR, CHANTING IS THE KEY!
