Ireland April 11 136 , originally uploaded by yogamama.co.uk . On our recent trip to Ireland we were robbed by this spotty dalmatian.

I'm loving the range of colours in the Sweaty Betty Spring yoga range. Beats the boring black any day. I also like the longer length as they dont rise up therefore avoiding the need to tuck my belly away every five minutes.
