For a Yogi, Summer and Winter weekends are almost equal and differs almost just for some different clothing to practice but STILL, practicing Yoga with some consistence does not mean simply to stay in the mat and perform some choreographic poses (asana) but also living the life in an aware way and spend some good time with good people!
A typical weekend in summer for me and Mary usually has some good outdoor practices of Yoga AND some meeting with friends or family at lake/see/mountains, or some nice BBQs at some friends’ place.

And here below a picture of me, when I climbed the highest place in Bova Marina, on another Sunday as well!

I can remember quite well that those two pictures were taken on Sunday as while we were in Reggio Calabria, I was having my weekly fasting day on Sundays :D
On winter, the scenario is similar.
Sometimes we have some working weekends like yesterday when me and Mary were the organizers of a big congress that took place in Modena (Italy) about Multiple Sensitivity to Chemical Components and we had more than 200 registered attendants with more than 70 people attending at the Congress Center.

So, Winter’s weekends are sometimes “working-weekends”

While in other occasions it’s simple partying and chilling. Like for example some evergreen BBQ, when I usually bring vegetable stuffs with me to be sure I will have something to eat :D

In the past, I was really a workaholic and therefore I felt like I had to work hard all the weekends as well, but then I realized that life is meant to be lived and not worked, and that came Yoga in my life, giving a much broader perspective on all the constructive things that can be done in the weekends.
