I have no words of wisdom to dispense today.
I'm not going to lie - the events of the past 10 days have brought me to my knees!
2 weeks ago I was still so optimistic (foolishly?) that life would go on with a little hiccup as we all became more cautious and aware of this crazy thing called COVID-19. I was happy to continue to share yoga with all of my various student groups, although we did become more careful about not touching and maintaining distance. Then one by one each group class I taught got put on indefinite hold.
I went from my typical full-speed winter schedule pace to virtually a dead stop almost overnight! By the end of the day on Friday 13th (hmmm?) I was down to just a few classes; the remainder cancelled over the following week.
On top of that, I caught a cold (I think) that very weekend and am just now recovering, with some coughing and congestion remaining. I couldn't find a thermometer anywhere, but I'm pretty sure I didn't have a fever. AND because I had had such a full schedule, I never managed to stock up on food or other home supplies before we went in shutdown mode.
Well, I'm grateful to say that my husband and I are managing well. He's still working, sometimes from home. I had to order TP online, had local produce delivered to our house, and I even managed to pick up some more groceries yesterday. I'm finally feeling well enough to do some movement (QiGong online which I'd been wanting to try) and am now thinking about what I'm going to do with ALL this free time!
Enough about me. Before I got sick, I was about to share some online yoga resources, so here it is.
I’ve created and uploaded a few yoga videos to my YouTube channel. Here’s the link – please “like” and subscribe:

Yoga Vista (where I took my chair and wheelchair yoga training) is offering a free 30 day pass of online classes, which includes both chair and mat yoga:

Also, I have been successful in conducting virtual private yoga sessions, and I have plenty of spots open if you're looking for customized one-on-one instruction.
I wish for you what I wish for myself: to stay healthy, active, calm, and stay connected, even if it's from a distance.
Be well and safe,
Eva
