THE.ART.OF.CONNECTION.

Confession: I’ve been biased, sceptical, reluctant for all these years - sorry .weis - towards going (wholeheartedly) online. I’ve spent almost two decades refining my gift and I was sure. Totally, completely, stubbornly-virgo-style certain: my gift is CONNECTION. Explanation mark. Close proximity, in person, including sharing each other’s bodily presence, to move, to feel, to bodywork, to heal, to share wisdom IN PERSON.

I loved seeing my colleagues going online with bigger offerings, I loved the idea of making small offerings available for my folks online. Nevertheless to feel myself into the feeling place of making REAL, TANGIBLE, LASTING, SUSTAINABLE IMPACT in peoples direct experiences… I just couldn’t believe it. I was just too grippy holding on to the “old ways” without noticing how limiting this belief is to my myself and the world.

Today I’m grateful to have tested positive earlier this week. Without being forced into staying at home I would have never taken the chance to test my gift in a greater offering via screen.

🙏 I am beyond grateful for a rockstar colleague holding space in presence with a stellar and impressive group of open, authentic and vulnerable woman full of beauty and wisdom.
🙏 I’m grateful for the tech support of my dear partner .weis and dear friend .
🙏 I’m grateful for 18 years honing my craft in the room with truly inspiring humans.
🙏 I’m grateful to have now the experience in my bones that the magic sparks through screens and speakers.

Change is possible. Big change is possible. Big change is rolling in. Be prepared world: 15 empowered woman are rolling in, rocking the show in self empowered and authentic ways. Change is on the horizon.

Thank you Covid for teaching me humility.

POSITIVE.

Remains a positive word for me. Because we get to choose how we relate to what happens to us. Always. I choose positivity over being tested positive because:
* my body is f****** rockstar
* I have the best sister aka colleague to rock the postnatal training hybrid style with 1 day notice. , I bow to you!
* I have the most supportive husband rocking the girls while I get to be present with the group
* I have the most amazing woman around me sharing, listening, growing
* I have the best bread in the world delivered to my house 🙏
* I have meaningful interactions with amazing woman .nicola.schmidt
* I get to dive in, befriend, discover the magic of online connection (I’m surprised and positively empowered)
* I get to grow in my skill set (enjoying a hell of a steep learning curve!)
* did I speak about my body? Hell yeah what a magic place to live in.
Oh, the list is endless!!!

To wrap up this particular post (covid diary to come):
I’ve tested the waters. I’ve explores almost every practice Yoga has to offer. I’ve tested the practices to the bone. My long term study reveals: 18 years of yoga practice have given me super powers.

Just so you don’t get caught up in judgement or bullsh*tting about the yogis and the C-topic: the “super power” is to accept and embrace what is without trying to resist or change it and actually douse what is with love… boom, that’s the superpower.
