A New Beginning...
Sometimes things don’t go as you had planned, but that can end up being the most amazing gift!
I had planned to complete my training in July 2020 in Kelowna, but COVID had other plans. My training was cancelled in April of this year, and at the beginning of May I learned we had the option to complete our training online instead, and it started in 3 weeks! I rearranged vacation time and childcare and made it happen. My days were long-6am wake up call for practice, then Zoom meeting calls for my training until 2pm. At 2pm, I would swap laptops and begin working 1/2 days in my job as an Infection Control RN, managing the COVID pandemic for my local hospital. This was not what I had in mind for my teacher training lol. But, I was able to complete my training without having to leave my family and my home which was such a huge gift!
As a finished my yoga teacher training 300hr intensive and moved on to my distance learning, I began to reflect on where to go from there. My home studio was not able to support my practice teaching, due to COVID (darn COVID!) and I needed to create my own opportunities for completing my practice teaching requirements. Again, not what I had planned. My teacher training was amazing and empowering but oddly, I was left feeling at a loss for direction. What do I do now? I had been planning this training for two years. Now that its come and gone, I am in a much different position than I had anticipated.
Rewind one years time to 2019 for a moment, prior to my training, I had created this website and company (Inner Fire Holistic Healing) in preparation for teaching yoga, among other things. Then was side tracked with life, and hadn’t done much with the site since. Sometimes life comes full circle…
Now back to the present day, I realized I had done all of this work and it was left waiting until a time when life would bring it back to me, when I would need it! Life is so amazing that way!
I updated my website, and began advertising for public classes and you know what? People wanted to come! It warmed my heart.
So here we are, moving out of COVID restrictions, which allows me the freedom to teach classes to the public (while distanced of course!), completed my training and I have this great work I had done a year ago that I can use now to support my path forward. How amazing is that?!?
And so, a new beginning, Inner Fire Holistic Healing is born. Born out of unexpected events and life circumstances that all happened sequentially, almost as if a Greater Power had planned it. I truly believe everything happens for a reason. I am so excited to share my classes with you and see what unexpected twists and turns come our way. Knowing that sometimes when life changes your course, it just might be redirecting you back to your true north.
