Hello Everyone, Here we are at Easter....the time seems to have rolled by quickly - we are now coming to the end of our second 6 week term of 2021! Our morning classes are now beginning with the sun up and our evening sessions also have the daylight as they begin. Nature keeps turning no matter what. I hope that you get out to see the blue skies, daffodils, primroses, pale green on new growth and the sun shines for you ( even if it is metaphorical!) Thank you for turning up and taking part this term. I am very grateful for Your participation and enthusiasm. I have been reflecting on how in the last year I have gone from saying - 'no way people will want to attend classes on zoom', to feeling like I really couldn't teach without being in the room, to accepting that Zoom classes are here to stay on some level. Zoom does provide the chance to come to an early session in your pyjamas in the comfort of your own home. One big advantage of Zoom is that I have friends from across the country joining the weekly classes. It is a real blessing to see buddies from different parts of my life on the screen - not to mention a niece or two joining in from Dublin! I do miss the 'reading of the room', the surety that everybody is getting what I am instructing. I am fearful that lots of communication is lost and as a result the class is less. I miss the casual interaction. I have had to change my mindset to accept that though communication is not as before for me as a teacher (it is like I have lost one of my senses - the unconscious cues one picks up on when in the same space as other people) - these classes are not are a means to facilitate you to practice Your Yoga as well as possible in the constraints of the time we live in. So perhaps the physical distance helps to foster in you a sense that the classes are for you, to enable you, to build your strength, to facilitate your discovery of the power you have innately. I do look forward to being able to offer the in-person experience again but in the mean-time we will work with the resources we have at this moment in time and take the blessings that come with the technology. I hope that our zoom classes are going someway to provide the guidance and space you need in your life now.
