The training that happened while the world was stopped

…As a group we decided to press on with the training. We had all come a long way to make this training and some of us were unaware of what to do next. So we agreed that in class time we would continue our journey in to mindfulness. In classes we went on as per usual. On breaks, we organized and arranged next steps. It feels now like that training was a lifetime ago. It feels like we maintained a tiny haven of paradise in a far away place where the rest of the world’s problems simply did not exist.

The training that continued while the world was stopping...

If you’ve been following along on our journey, you’ll know that we were in the midst of a Chakra-Vinyasa yoga teacher training while the world was wrapping it’s head around a global pandemic. It was just a few days after the training started that travel bans started to come in to effect, business closed, government regulations were put in to place, and the world seemed to halt while we were all in Nicaragua. 

The situation was uncertain to say the least. On our breaks our eyes were peeled to news sources, texting and calling friends and family back home and just trying to get updates on what was going on. It felt like we were in a far far away dreamland, away from all the chaos. 

As a group we decided to press on with the training. We had all come a long way to make this training and some of us were unaware of what to do next. So we agreed that in class time we would continue our journey in to mindfulness. In classes we went on as per usual. On breaks, we organized and arranged next steps. It feels now like that training was a lifetime ago. It feels like we maintained a tiny haven of paradise in a far away place where the rest of the world’s problems simply did not exist. 

Hopefully we will be able to return soon to our beloved Yoga Teacher Trainings in paradise. In the meanwhile, here’s a recap of the Chakra-Vinyasa experience.
