Unexpected Blessings
What a wild ride this has been and continues to be…
It took a pandemic to shift our yoga platform to an official Online-Yoga-Studio and for this I am grateful. We hit the ground running by offering 11 yoga classes and 5 meditation classes consistently each week. Had I known this was all going to happen as such, I would have eaten more Wheaties and taken more vitamins and gotten a hair cut at least, but oh well. Probably like you, I didn’t see this one coming! I can’t help but think of the old adage, “if you want to make God laugh then make plans.”
Sometimes life makes plans for us…
As it did in this case and all we can do is keep flowing with an open mind. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the gregarious weekly turnout to our Online-Studio. The original intent was to provide yoga for our students in the Covid-19 interim. A sensitive time of uncertainty when people need movement, mindfulness and community more than ever. It has taken on a life of its own thanks to each and every one of you.
When quarantine began back in March, teaching Yoga online became a sink or swim proposition for me. We had to do lights-camera-action on a dime, using the hit and miss method of learning as we go. Finding our way through this uncertainty, the only thing I knew for sure was that I could not go on without giving back in the way I knew best. A special thank you to my partner, Nina Nazar for her genius in both producing and orchestrating these online classes. She is the reason why they are running so smoothly. Being both the creator and producer of this platform, without Nina it simply would not exist.
Thank you to the Tribe…
For your commitment and consistency to your yoga and meditation practice during these weeks and months. Your daily attendance is what keeps me inspired and excited to start each day. Whether we’re aware of it or not, so much has shifted in all of us over this time and we’ve realized that beyond the necessity of social distancing, there is real value in getting people from around the world together, at one time, to practice yoga and meditation in the comfort of their homes. The convenience and accessibility of this world-wide platform opens new doors of possibilities for all of us.
We will certainly continue with our Online-Studio…
Even after the quarantine time. I am personally enjoying this new platform very much, especially having the opportunity to stay connected and present with everyone daily. I can’t wait to see how this new adventure will evolve into more greatness. Our community is a powerful healing force for this planet, especially at this time. We come together again and again to help each other heal, survive and even thrive as a “Global Tribe.” Let’s continue our global adventure together online and out in the world, when it’s safe to do so again.
See you online for now!
