Thursday 5 April : Kidnapping at B&B

But he woke up when he heard not one but two huge birthdays today. And they both have such huge hearts we almost needed a bigger blog to fit all the excitement in. I’m talking of course about Lisa Boyle and Megan Fraser. And while Lisa is happily married to the wonderfully erudite John Boyle Megan is the secret sweetheart of the A team benches. Here’s Lisa with just a few of her admirers although Marco needs his alarm clock louder:

While the A team looked out to the ocean in gratitude for Megan’s special day:

Both birthday’s drew a big crowd:

Some swimmers celebrated by wearing matching swimmers and even matching caps:

And even after the swim couldn’t stop wondering what a wonderful morning it was:

 Lisa was given a cake which allegedly had Lisa written on it – if you squint and look cross eyed at the photo below you will see Lisa holding a cake.

Even five newbies came down for the birthday celebrations, here’s Gaz looking forward to his first swim:

Happy birthday to you Lisa and Megan!

B&B Dinner
Next month’s dinner on Tuesday 10th April features Jodie Petersen, Studio Owner Bikram Yoga Brookvale on The Surprising Ways that Bikram Yoga can help Swimmers
Jodie’s absolute passion in life is Bikram Yoga. An Australian pioneer in her field, Jodie qualified as a Bikram teacher 21 years ago becoming the world’s first Australian Bikram Yoga teacher. She opened her yoga studio initially in Harbord in 1998 and since 2001 in Brookvale. Jodie is internationally renowned in the yoga community having taught and given seminars around the world.
The Bikram yoga series was developed over 50 years ago (the original hot yoga!). It is specifically designed to build overall strength and flexibility, aid faster recovery from injuries and enhance and prolong other sporting activities.
The yoga has fantastic results helping swimmers with some of the most common injuries and complaints. We work closely with several Ironman and Ultra Ironman competitors. The series of postures is designed improve mobility through all joints and is especially effective at loosening the shoulder and neck area. The heated room builds a mind over matter outlook to develop mental strength and determination. Breathing is key in swimming and in yoga! A regular yoga practice can definitely improve breath techniques in the water.
Mike, 74, started Bikram Yoga at the age of 70. He wrote this when he had just started. “I am now 3 months into Bikram Yoga and have a long way to go in many of the postures but I am feeling the benefits. My rotator cuff problems in my shoulder are fast disappearing and I can now get almost full movement.”
