P A R I S - City of Light, is a dream destination for travelers from around the world.
Spending a few days in this enchanting city offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and romance.
Start your journey with a visit to the iconic Eiffel Tower, where you can take in breathtaking views of the cityscape. Stroll along the charming streets of Montmartre, home to the famous Sacré-Cœur Basilica & vibrant artists’ square, Place du Tertre -my personal favorite!

Explore the Louvre Museum to marvel at masterpieces like the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. I personally love the permanent Egyptian art exhibit the Louvre offers!
Don’t miss a leisurely walk along the Seine River, where you can discover the picturesque bridges and bookstalls. Where you may hop on a boat cruise such as the Bateau Mouche, you will not regret it.
Savor exquisite French cuisine in cozy bistros, and indulge in delectable pastries at local patisseries. It is almost impossible to find “bad food” in Paris. Oh if you are a wine lover... You are in for a treat!
A trip to Paris is incomplete without visiting the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral and the historic neighborhood of Le Marais, known for its narrow medieval lanes and trendy boutiques. As the sun sets, enjoy a romantic evening cruise on the Seine, soaking in the city’s illuminated landmarks.
My first apartment in Paris was right by Notre-Dame - I could see the Cathedral every day from my window :) Fun fact!
Whether you’re exploring world-renowned art, savoring culinary delights, or simply soaking up the Parisian ambiance, a few days in Paris will leave you with unforgettable memories and a longing to return.
Over my next few posts I will explore my favorite places in Paris & London, where I was fortunate enough to just return from. Plus I'll review and share with you some of my favorite hotels.
Future posts will be a mix of cool upcoming yoga offerings such as a “Three Day Immersion” with @island.movement in St Croix, Virgin Island - happening this June and a new fresh Yoga Teacher Training Program with @ascendwellness333_lafayette in the beautiful Southern city of Lafayette, Louisiana.
All very exciting!
Oh and of course more yoga and animals!
That’s always a non-negotiable.

Morning Rituals
What is your morning ritual? I highly suggest you spare yourself some time first thing in the morning, and wake up earlier if you have to, this is imperative. So important. It will set you up for a successful day. Wake up with a morning routine and make sure to take a moment to yourself. Everyone is different and there is no right or wrong here. The most important thing is that you honor yourself.
Good Morning !
Yesterday, in our SUPPORTED teachers meeting, we covered a segment of The LIGHT CODE Planner : The importance of MORNING RITUALS and ideas on how to navigate your sacred morning space to set you up for a successful day.
Here is a passage of The LIGHT CODE Planner for you :
Morning Ritual
What is your morning ritual? I highly suggest you spare yourself some time first thing in the morning, and wake up earlier if you have to, this is imperative. So important. It will set you up for a successful day. Wake up with a morning routine and make sure to take a moment to yourself. Everyone is different and there is no right or wrong here. The most important thing is that you honor yourself.
Here are some examples: my morning routine consists of walking my dogs, grounding (placing my feet on the earth) feeding my animals, a mindful tea practice, journaling, and oftentimes meditation. A good friend of mine likes to wake up before her family is awake and take a nice relaxing long bath with salts, this sets her up for a successful day.
Another person I know wakes up and loves to unload the dishwasher first thing in the morning, after that he takes care of his animals and his plants, harvests his garden (this makes him super happy), following this he does breath-work, prayers, and visualizations for the day. His morning rituals set him up for success. Morning visualizations are super powerful. Check out the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza for more on visualizations. Another friend loves to stretch first thing in the morning and go out in the sun for at least 10 minutes, and another friend loves to wake up before the sun and watch the sunrise, this lights up her day.
What is your morning routine? Remember they can be whatever you want them to be and they do not have to be static, everything is always changing. Welcome each morning as a brand new day with infinite possibilities.
Your morning sacred space, can be a great time to work on your art, or any creative project.
If you have a full household you may need to wake up an hour or two before everyone in your family, furry ones included. Many students I work with, tell me this is their only quiet time each day.
We all need quiet, sacred time to be with ourselves, to gather our energy so that we can show up to others at our fullest authentic Self and be present for whatever life brings forth.
Make sure you get enough rest. If you made the decision to wake up earlier, do you need to go to bed earlier?
Reprogram your life so that all your needs are met.
My mornings are also one of my non-negotiables, and with exceptions here and there I don't take meetings before 11AM. Implementing this simple rule has been one of the best decisions I've ever made, a game changer for me.
Remember there is no ONE WAY-----> there is only YOUR WAY.
As we know too well things are always changing, therefore embrace each season of your life as a new one and see what changes you want to create to make life work for you.
Lot’s of Love,
Nathalie Croix
