And 💥 BOOM 💣, just like that, my 300hrs advanced yoga training training comes to an end. It wasn’t the finish I had quite hoped for (way to short, way to sudden, leaving in a hurry and being sick, so missing half of the training).
And yet, those two days were full of everything that made these intensive Berlin-Yoga-Weekends the highlight of my year.
1. Mirror Selfies and a luggage full of "you never know what happens".
2. Extensive coffee breaks with big groups - full of chatter, laughter, good coffee, arrogant baristas, hyped Cafés (some of them worth it, others not so much). And SUN ☀️, lots of it.
3. Learning essentials: good manuals, water, and some power shots inbetween to make it through 10-hours-days
4. Dedicated teachers such as & plus each time, a whole bunch of people eager to learn more
5. Extensive touching, examining, experimenting & experiencing.
6. Delicious lunch breaks that were ALWAYS too short
7. Group tasks where each teacher personality found room to show up
8. More delicious food in the evenings. Thanks for joining me on my last one .josi .sulke .moll & Berit
9. Sorry, more food. Most interesting dessert in a while
10. Blue & yellow streets. When I first came to Berlin maaaaany years ago for an internship, this season was one of the reasons I fell for Berlin
11. Exploring funky asanas and challenge ourselves into new shapes.
12. Coffee. Have I told you I have to reduce caffeine?
13. Where to drink coffee.
14. .music
15. Knowledge on the wall
16. Experiencial knowledge on the wall
17. Just take my money.
18. Turkish eggs. Also, I miss Istanbul.
19.
20. P'Berg.
How these months will shape me as a teacher, I'm still not sure. I just know that I not only learned about asanas, anatomy, brahmanism or how to touch - but also about authenticity, dreams, human insecurities, what's below the surface, boundaries. And I met amazing people, you know who you are 🧡
