Thank you 2020.

I am the Queen of Resistance.

When I want to struggle, I do it big.
![?♀️](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t24/1/16/1f938_200d_2640.png)
I have at times ranted loudly and endlessly about the unfairness of the universe.

But… 2020 was different.
![?♀️](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t24/1/16/1f938_200d_2640.png)
Sometimes I have felt like there hasn’t been time to stop and complain.

I have learned to pivot faster than a ballerina (or a even than a small playful kitten)…and am still pivoting back and forth between face-to-face yogas, online yogas, and hybrid yogas.

Does anyone know when does this latest lockdown ends???
![?♀️](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t24/1/16/1f938_200d_2640.png)
Throughout the year, I’ve kept refining my yoga teaching skills: online delivery has been a steep learning curve.
![?♀️](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t24/1/16/1f938_200d_2640.png)
And when the first lockdown happened at the end of March, I had to move my Yoga Teacher Training programme online for a few months.
![?♀️](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t24/1/16/1f938_200d_2640.png)
Nobody expected that.
![?♀️](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t24/1/16/1f938_200d_2640.png)
But I didn’t let it stop us.
![?♀️](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t24/1/16/1f938_200d_2640.png)
So, I delivered that training online until we were able to once again meet in person, with the option to keep doing it online if people needed to.
![?♀️](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t24/1/16/1f938_200d_2640.png)
I also taught my trainees to teach online too, and now they are out there, teaching classes and sharing the yoga with their communities.

I get so excited when I’ve seen details of my graduates Elaine, Nia and Lowri’s classes that will be happening online in January (and I know many of the others are working on setting up classes too)!!

Cos everybody needs more yoga right now, to help us navigate the ups and downs of corona-land, these times of (potential) struggle, not to mention endless change.
![?♀️](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t24/1/16/1f938_200d_2640.png)
That’s why I’m committed to running my next Yoga Teacher Training.
![?♀️](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t24/1/16/1f938_200d_2640.png)
It starts in September.
![?♀️](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t24/1/16/1f938_200d_2640.png)
It will be fully “hybrid” and “covid-proof,” with some people attending it virtually and others attending in-person.
![?♀️](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t24/1/16/1f938_200d_2640.png)
I am only taking on 12 people on this course.
![?♀️](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t24/1/16/1f938_200d_2640.png)
I’m chosing to limit the number of participants because I don’t want this to be an impersonal online course with hundreds of other participants, where no one cares if you pass or fail.
![?♀️](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t24/1/16/1f938_200d_2640.png)
In this programme there’s individual mentoring and feedback from me and my co-teachers throughout the course.

It results in a 200-hour Yoga Alliance Professionals recognised qualification, and builds a solid foundation of confidence and practical skill in teaching, whether for in-person classes or online classes.
