It has been a while since I wrote something. Feels like life is passing by in a second. In 2018 I travelled a lot: first Malta, almost a month in Thailand, then Italy and in last fall my 300YTT started (when it will be over I´ll write longer post about it), which means travelling in every 2 months to Berlin. And now I just came back from Bali, where I had really needed Restorative Yoga Teachers Training. It was a real blessing, because I was so exhausted- almost no vacant days from November. So I had 4 days of sweet meditation in addition to learning and after the training short vacay in Bali, mostly in Ubud, but also in Lembognan island. It feels like it was a short flight there and back- I really regret not staying longer, because my body and mind needed longer break. Soon after coming back, I got cold and now suffering at home. 2018 was a great year. Besides travelling, I would call it year of learning. And seems like 2019 will be the same. First I took an extensive anatomy course, which opened my eyes in many ways. Then I had course with Marlene Henny on deep core vinyasa and then 4 days intensive with Mark Stephens http://www.markstephensyoga.com/, who has written so many books on yoga and is extremely knowledgeable and has non dogmatic approach which I loved so much. And he is so nice as a person, which I value highly, because in yoga world (or in teachers world) you never know:) And in October I started my 300YTT with Noah Maze https://themazemethod.com/instructor/noah-maze/, which means a week long modules within one year. And few weeks ago I did my Restorative Teachers Training with Anne Wanda Tessier. So lot of learning and teaching so far and it will be same in 2019. Besides learning, I have been teaching a lot. In addition to regular classes, I did yoga fundamentals course and mindfulness course. Organized one yoga retreat in the beautiful surrounds of southern part of Estonia. Taught 3 rounds of teachers training on kids yoga for physical education teachers, which I enjoyed so much. It makes your heart melt, when teachers come and thank you for changing their perception on yoga. As I try to make courses really practical in terms of philosophy, anatomy and asana, I could see how theory comes into practice. Hopefully they will practice yoga at schools and soon it will be in physical education curriculum. Highlight of my year was one of my dreams coming true. I have always dreamed of helping local governments to organize their education. I have done plans for non formal education and helping in change management of art and music shools but now I had chance to design the future of full spectrum education for local government. Even it wasn`t the easiest job ever, it was most interesting challenge I`ve met so far. But here is short video about my last visit to Bali and one video about our summer highlight when organizing one-day cafe in our home. Tundub, et aeg kiirustab. 2018 oli õppimise ja reisimise aasta ning tundub, et sama jätkub ka 2019. aastal. Kõigepealt olime pika nädalavahetuse Maltal, siis sõitsime juba kuuks Taisse ning suvel avastasime Itaaliat. Suvesse jääb ka meie esimene hipikohvik Põhja- Sakala valla kohvikutepäeval, mis osutus üle ootuste menukaks ning eriti soojalt meenub tänuüritus kohvikupidajatele valla poolt. Oktoobris alustasin ma oma 300h edasijõudnud joogaõpetajate koolitust, mis tähendab üle kahe kuu reisimist Berliini terve aasta vältel. Nüüd just tulime tagasi Balilt, kus ma läbisin Taastava jooga õpetajate kursuse, mis pakkus lisaks õppimisele ka totaalset puhkust kehale ja meelele ning tunde kestvat meditatiivset seisundit. Seekord jäi Balil veedetud aeg eriti lühikeseks ning tundus, et alles lendasime, kui juba tulime tagasi. Ka keha ja meel ei jõudnud ennast veel korralikult maha laadida ning nüüd ma siin istun kodus haigena. Peale reisimise oli 2018 üks suur õppimiskogemus. Kõigepealt läbisin ma anatoomia kursuse, mida viis läbi tegev füsioterapeut ja TÜ õppejõud ning mis tekitas veel rohkem huvi inimese keha ja füsioloogia vastu. Lisaks
