Leseprobe

Dedicated to our „Yogis“ There is an „OM“ in Pomegranate

Yoga is the golden key that unlocks the door to peace, tranquility and joy

- B.K.S. Iyengar

Without my husband Micky there would be no Lazy Lizard with its magical garden, no pomegranate... no happiness. So here is a song for you, Micky!

There are places I'll remember

All my life, though some have changed,

Some forever, not for better,

Some have gone and some remain.

All these places had their moments

With lovers and friends I still can recall,

Some are dead and some are living,

In my life I loved them all.

But of all these friends and lovers

There is no one compared with you,

All these memories lose their meaning

When I think of love as something new.

Though I know I'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before,

I know I'll often stop and think about them,

In my life I love you more-

Though I know I'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before,

I know I'll often stop and think about them

In my life I'll love you more

In my life I'll love you more.

In my Life - The Beatles

Introduction

Our yoga weeks are called the “Pomegranate yoga weeks” and have you noticed? - There is an OM in pOMegranate.

My husband Micky and I have been running the Lazy Lizard since 2011 after having concentrated on building the house and forming the garden over the previous four years.

We have chosen this particular plot of land because of the numerous trees. Although they were in a neglected shape, we imagined the potential beauty and tried carefully to build around them. Even when we had to enlarge the garden restaurant for our yoga groups we did not spare any effort to dig out some of the mandarine trees and planted them in the lower garden. We are happy to say that not one of them died. On the contrary, they produced fruit right the year following their being moved to their fellow trees.

We had a wonderful and very glamorous start into our first season. One of the first guests in the Lazy Lizard was Kate Moss. Together with her then fiancé Jamie Hince, her friend Meg Mathews and Jennifer Ramey from New York she spent a week here. They talked about the seating arrangement at her planned wedding while enjoying the pool or Jamie playing billiard with Micky. The stake was beer – a good thing we had closed the hotel for other guests because Micky won most of the times and we did not have to concentrate on too much work.

I shall not deny that their visit was good publicity for us but they were so naturally pleasant and when leaving they hugged us and Kate said: “I don't want to leave.“ I want to believe that she was sincere – at that very moment.

Strangely enough, while planning house and garden we built a circular platform in the middle of the garden, not knowing how this would later become a yoga shala. Mind you, we had to enlarge it a few times.

Looking back, it still amazes me that already during our first season we had attracted groups to hold their workshops here. One of the first groups was Reinhild from Germany together with a dancer, teaching yoga and dance. The bright colors of the thin materials that whirled around the dancers together with the different sounds of music filled the garden, alternating with the silence of the yoga sessions.

Not at all silent was the Darabuka workshop for Middle Eastern music and belly dance which ended with a concert around the pool and the dance students performed together with their teacher what they had learned during the week. People from Ovacik and Fethiye had come to enjoy this mini festival. Still today I get the occasional mail asking when we would have the next event in the Lazy Lizard.

When more and more yoga groups booked their weeks at the Lazy Lizard the „Pomegranate Yoga Weeks” were born. The yogis decided on that name because the pomegranate is a spiritual and healthy fruit and our garden is full of pomegranate trees.

When you were down at the shala practising I could not help but remember our past…
