Kia Ora Beautiful People,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m writing to you today with a bit of a strange feeling, that impression of being here, but not\u00a0really<\/em>\u00a0being here. To be completely honest with you, right now, I\u2019ve got my \u201ccul entre deux chaises\u201d, one foot in France, and my heart still back in New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Because of the conflicts currently shaking the Middle East, everything is blocked, and I find myself \u201cstuck\u201d here in France. It\u2019s frustrating, it\u2019s heavy, and it\u2019s a constant reminder of that old human habit: we always seem to want what we don\u2019t have in the moment, don\u2019t we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In New Zealand, I have my life, my rhythm. Not being able to teach my Face Yoga classes there or guide you through Yin sessions feels like a huge void. It\u2019s like a part of me has been put on forced pause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

But that\u2019s life, isn\u2019t it? A constant sway. We dream of \u201celsewhere\u201d when we are here, and we ache to go back when we are there. Yet, being here in France gives me something incredibly precious that I don\u2019t have the rest of the year:\u00a0my family.<\/strong>\u00a0Time here has a different flavor. It\u2019s slow, it\u2019s intimate, and I know deep down that every minute spent with them is a gift I won\u2019t get back later. So, instead of fighting against borders or grounded planes, I\u2019m trying to turn this waiting game into something beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Rather than pacing the room, I\u2019ve decided to use this \u201csuspended\u201d time for you, for us. I\u2019m crafting my newsletters way in advance, refining new programs for the website… I\u2019m diving deep into esoteric techniques, the slightly more \u201cperch\u00e9\u201d and mystical stuff, to take you even further into the world of Face Yoga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s my way of staying connected to you, no matter where my suitcase is parked. I\u2019m building this bridge between France and New Zealand through the screen, guiding you toward that monde merveilleux<\/em> of well-being that I love so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe we\u2019re never really just in one place. Maybe we\u2019re always a little bit everywhere at once. And perhaps that is what true freedom actually feels like.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re also feeling a bit scattered or stuck between two places or two desires, sit with me for a moment. Let\u2019s take 12 minutes to bring the pieces back together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Bring the tips of your fingers together on both hands, as if you\u2019re holding a tiny invisible ball between your palms. Keep your palms apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
