On our last day I joined the family for their crack of dawn beach visit which I usually sleep through. Instead of being drained I felt a hopeful energy buzzing at the edges of my consciousness. I tried to still my mind whilst walking among the rock pools, but there was still a frenetic buzzing in my brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where the river meets the sea, I looked up with surprise to see Dylan doing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yogajournal.com\/poses\/warrior-ii-pose\">Warrior II<\/a> pose. &#8220;Is this right?&#8221; He asked with sincerity. I smiled and joined him in some half forgotten yoga poses on the sand. Less cliched because our lack of skill, which made it all the more fun. There was a sense of relief, and focus. Concentrating on balance, on the body, on the breath. Suddenly things seemed a lot simpler, quieter. I could see I could be happy with less clutter physically and mentally.
