My secret place

The photo shows yogini Lynda Statham enjoying the highlights
and peaks of Wales. “Standing on top of the Skirrid Fawr is special
to me,” she tells OM. “It is so peaceful here, the air so fresh and
the views breathtakingly beautiful, every sense is heightened.”
She says that practicing yoga on this mountain gives her a sense
of how small we all are on this beautiful planet of ours. From this
location you can see all the mountains surrounding Abergavenny:
the Blorenge, the Deri, the Skirrid Bach, the Rholben and the
Sugarloaf. In the distance, you can glimpse the Black Mountains
and all the adjoining counties. “On our many walks around
Abergavenny, and elsewhere, while visiting beautiful places like
this mountain, I feel the yogi in me wanting to strike a yoga pose -
and here on top of the Skirrid Fawr, I feel on top of the world.”
