Sitting peacefully near the water is always a good reminder for me that the way I feel and the way I think can be different.

I am so blessed to have the most beautiful and loving family. After 15 plus years of travel working it just never gets easier to say goodbye to them, but so grateful and cherish every single for moment I get with them.

I had the most indescribable past four months in the Caribbean.
Thank you to all my girls and the lovely people of Canouan who welcomed me into their lives.
See you in October.
Blessed not stressed!

That feeling when you’ve been having one of those weeks of being insecure (we’ve all been there so let’s not make a big deal about it) and some random women compliments your skin and beauty. ✨

Thank you random lady for making my day and week! 🙏🏽❤️

Now everyone go compliment someone you don’t know, but don’t be a creep about it! 😅

Local beach bar vibes. 🍗
You know it’s good when there is a built in bin in the table to throw your bbq bones.
Bbq is the way to my soul!

I was thrilled to be able to celebrate my little sisters wedding with her last weekend and see my aunt and cousins from my Dad’s side that I had not seen in forever.

My soul feels nourished and I’m so happy and proud of .gaither2021 !

Now in Houston Texas with my mom, aunties, grandma and rest of the Texas family.

Due to COVID and living in a different country I missed so many important moments the last 2 years; my brothers wedding and grandpa’s funeral to name a couple, so am very grateful to be in the US with my family now!

😢 It’s was an emotional weekend in Paris as I slowly told everyone that I accepted a job between the south of France and the Caribbean and will be leaving Paris.

Loads of teary hugs, many walks down memory lane and so so so much love and support!

Thank you for putting up with all my crying over the weekend 🙈.

The decision did not come lightly as I cherish very much all my friendships and community in Paris. A girl could only be so lucky to be surrounded by so many intelligent and beautiful souls.

I feel truly blessed, sad but full of love and excitement for my new adventure.

I know this is just good bye for now.

❤️🙏🏽

Shyed away from taking pictures of food this summer on the boat as I was so not pleased with all the pink on pink on pink and I love pink. So here is one for my last day on the boat for this season, simple little dessert treats.
Heading back to Paris now for the weekend, then off to the USA 🇺🇸 to finally see my FAMILY for the month of October after 3 years of separation!!! 🤩😍
Holidays begin tonight!
Watch out Paris I’m back 🥷🏽❤️!

This summer is the longest I’ve gone without my daily asana practice.
We’ve all been there, life gets busy and rest becomes more of a priority than our physical health rituals.
But the wonderful thing about building an asana practice is it will always be there ready for you to pick it back up when you’re ready.
Grateful for the rest and time for my body to fully heal. Feels good to be back at it again.

I took August off teaching yoga and that one month made me miss so very much teaching and all my yogis!
My schedule is very unpredictable right now as it’s the end of the yachting season so unfortunately I can not say when I will be able to offer again a regular class schedule, but I will keep you posted as to when our next class will be, fingers crossed for this Saturday!!!
Until then courage pour la rentrée !
Ps. This was at 6h30 and it’s not easy to smile at that hour 😅.

🎂I received lots of messages asking for the recipe of the Tiramisu birthday cake I made a couple weeks back and was finally ready to share it with you here today, but the recipe is too long! 🤭
Sooo…warning it’s a process to make this delicious treat, but so worth it!!
Dm me for the recipe and I’ll happily send it over to you 🥰.

Being a private chef I’m often asked to organize elaborate dinners, but more often than not, my clients request comfort foods, foods that warm your soul. Especially when I’m spending four months with them, like I am currently.

This year’s must have on hand at all times are my hearty lasagna and these salted brownie cookies.

What’s your favorite comfort food?

My beach bum dream….the beach all to myself all day everyday 😂.
It’s only like this for a quick minute in the morning then it’s flooded with people, but I love getting there as early as possible to enjoy it while it last.
Are you a quiet beach lover or the busier the better ?

⭐️ To my new followers that might not know much about myself and Chez Cameil I am thrilled to connect here with you. To my already lovely followers this will be a reminder as well as an introduction to our newest Chez Cameil team member Florence.

I created Chez Cameil in 2018 first and foremost as a safe space for people to unapologetically express their true authenticity, share ideas, create, learn and grow together as a community.

Most of you are already familiar with me leaving in the summer for my seasonal job as a private chef on a yacht based in Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, where I am currently writing you from. Just because I am not in Paris does not mean all things Chez Cameil come to a halt. I am still teaching Yoga on Zoom and working with my restaurant, nutrition and wellness clients when I am not out at sea.

The wonderful Chez Cameil office team are still hard at work in Paris and are happily available to share their gifts and services with you.

Here are the beautiful people that I am honored to share my space with.

During our Yoga classes I sometimes ask you to visualize your happy place, the smells, temperature, the sounds, ect…
For me it is always here, the Mediterranean seaside. The magnificent colors of a sunset or sunrise, the smell of the salty water with a mix of fresh jasmine, the sounds of crashing waves and creaking tight ropes of the boat…. I could go on and on.
Feeling grateful to spend summer in my happy place.

Learning to enjoy the feelings of constraint, challenge, and discomfort has been a beautiful discovery for me in asana practice and in life.

Take this posture, Karnapidasana, I used to avoid doing it as it made me feel claustrophobic. Over the past few years I challenged myself to learn to enjoy it. Now I love it and receive the most comforting sensations whilst in it.

The best way to give yourself a hug after all the hard work 😉!

🦋 Starting this May I will be offering a Virtual Yoga Mentorship Live via Zoom to help you dive into a deeper understanding of why we practice Yoga.

In the West, we tend to think of yoga as only the physical practice, however, asana is only one of The Eight Limbs of Yoga as described by Patanjali in the The Yoga Sutras, and nowadays, there are numerous styles of yoga practice within asana and the rest of Yoga tends to get lost.

The Eight Limbs of Yoga are a step by step process to sensitize the mind to the many layers of subtlety. One begins with the relationship to their body and personal habit formation in order to progress to the task of refining the physical body and the energies that animate it.

Only after such practices are undertaken with great diligence is it realistic to expect any insight related to the nature of the mind and its role in creating meaning. The pinnacle of the practice is approached when all the aspects of one's Self has been uncovered and understood with serious discipline, and one's being is therefore finally able to be seen as interconnected to all other beings. The I Am One sensation ☺️.

If this speaks to you join me! 🙏🏽
