Confessions of a Commitment-phobic

If you had asked me two months ago if you could book a course with me, say- next year March,
you wouldn't have gotten a straight answer out of me. Because how the hell would I know where I'm gonna be next year March, right?
Well... ask me now, today!!
Go on- ask me 'Hanli, please can I do a course with you next year March'.
'Sure', I answer, '2nd or 3rd weekend work best for you?'

A shift has happened.

I am committing to my beloved Cape Town, my mountains and the two oceans that surround us. I will be here. This is where I will be.
I have recently moved into a new flat in Kalk Bay, (well I say new, built in the 1840's or something) and am making it home. This new base will of course be the launching pad for many a travel and great daring adventure, but I will return.


'Do you, Hanli, take this bay, False Bay, to love and to treasure, to protect and support,
through sickness and health...?'
I DO!!

Blue Rock Winter Sunshine

A couple of pics from the course I taught this weekend in Kalk Bay and at Blue Rock Quarry.
The guys did amazing results, 20 and 23 meters in depth and both well over 4 min in statics! So proud of them, relative newcomers they are. Cape Town opened her skies and gave us a sunny day at the quarry, but golly it was cold and dark down there...

Briefing before first session, Craig listening intently- I think?




Yoga stretch and warm up.
