I became a certified yoga teacher in 2014 and worked for 6 years to create my perfect schedule- teaching full time in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island. Practicing regularly. Making my own hours. Traveling in between. I was living my actual dream. I didn’t really have a working website for most of that time.
Covid-19 hit and in March, I lost all my jobs- at gyms, studios, schools and non profits. I tried a couple of Instagram live classes but I convinced myself it wasn’t for me, and I struggled with that, and my own practice (and other things as most of us did/are). AH, 2020 huh?
It is kinda funny that now that I don’t have jobs, I have a working website. Why? Theres a reason,. I just don’t know it yet. The universe is clever and Ive been working on trusting her plan, so I have no choice but to roll with it. Come along for the ride with me, I’m leaving Brooklyn at the end of the month, to do what? I don’t know. But my goal as of now will to traveling, zooming classes, reconnecting to my beautiful students, maybe even blogging a little bit? Who knows? Not me. But I am ok with it. What I do know is I NEED to teach again. So Im starting now. Because it is never too late (for any of us)!
