Wondering what a Yoga Retreat with Ana is like?
Here Jo Pope captures our Goa Retreat in April 2018 in her unique song.
*Sung along to the melody Da Doo Ron Ron
We’ve all just been with Ana on our cove retreat
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
And now we can do headstands and know that arch in our feet
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
Yes, we’ve got arched feet
But we’re all craving alcohol and something sweet
And a decent cup of coffee’d be a bloody treat
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
***
We’ve all been on a journey, we can touch our toes
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
And Ana’s made us try out every goddamn pose
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
Yes from warrior 2 to plank and chataranga and the pigeon too
We can wrap our legs around our heads and wave “Woo Hoo”!!
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
***
Some have spotted dolphins, swam the blue lagoon
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
Some have even shopped or fought a mouse or two
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
Spence fell out of the swing and Karen’s sunburn really gave her quite a sting,
But remember folks it’s part of what they call yielding
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
***
Squeeze the ball and tuck the tailbone, just a few
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
Of Ana’s dulcet nagging to her Yogi crew
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
With our sacrums down, we’ve navasanaded until the sun had gone right down
And our chakra colours shone up to our violet crowns
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
***
Some drew trees , some had massages, very nice
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
And Kathy’s lived on nothing but a bowl of rice
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
Yes, we’ve done some Om’s and Gemma’s become expert at the Scorpion
And Pardeshi’s meditation just went on and OMmmmmmm
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
***
We never will forget the thunderstorm one night
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
The thunder, rain and lightning gave us all a fright
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
Sara, Jo sang songs but the crew thought Fleetwood Mac and Queen was a little bit “wrong”
They thought it was the Indians in a rain dance song
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
***
So Steph and Sarah, Ange, Eleanor and Rose
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
Nick and Spence and Harrison, the double Jos
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
Yes, Sara, Tara too, the Karens, Gemma, Lyn and Helen, Kathy too
Jackie, Becky, ML want to say THANK YOU
Da do An Ana, da do Ana
