I Did A Thing...

So I did a thing. It’s something that I’ve had on my goal list since…2014? Mind you, I still haven’t gotten my 500-hr certificate yet, though I’m basically done with all the coursework. I still have the final workshop to do — which is a workshop that I develop, market, and execute. That outline and flyer have been sent to my mentor and I’ve already got it scheduled.

OK, I won’t keep you in suspense… I signed up for the 85-hour prenatal training at the only studio in Illinois which does this training. And why now, you may ask? Well, one of the BENEFITS of The Plague (always look on the bright side…cue Monty Python) is Zoom. So instead of trekking up past Chicago weekly, I’m doing the training virtually.

Normally, if I’m honest, I’m not keen on virtual training. But — I’m also not keen on gas over $4/gallon, commuting, spending money on hotel stays, “people-ing” with folks I don’t know. So virtual it is. It’s over 3 weekends, starting in May.

There’s a need for qualified, experienced prenatal teachers in our area and I’m looking forward to completing this training and being able to provide the classes for our community.

I have a lot of goals for my studio, “Post-Plague,” which I hope to accomplish. A bunch of them are, frankly, out of my control. I can’t control other people. I can’t control Covid variants. All I can do is the best to keep my students safe. I’m looking forward to this training, and providing another opportunity for building yoga community in our area.
