Bliss training was one of the best experiences in my life and definitely the best in my yoga life thus far.
Overjoyed and excited I started the training with so much energy and expectation of a blissful and memorable weekend. And let me tell ya, it exceeded every expectation I had!
The first day we met one another and shared who we were and why we were there, immediately seeing into each others hearts. It’s a divine encounter when like minds and hearts meet under an agreed circumstance for true purposes. Unplanned we jumped into the water almost right away because it was unbelievably gorgeous out! I believed God gave us that weekend so that we could have the highest probability of success!
Man those paddleboards are incredible. There is nothing like standing on water!!! One of the beautiful leaders led us in a blissful meditation and uplifting yoga session. Upon return to land, I felt like I was still flying almongst the clouds and I still do.
Later that first day we had the honor and pleasure to encounter two beautiful acro yoga pros that brought grace depth and a lot of joy to our experience. I couldn’t stop giggling trying to be a strong base and fly my girls or be a stiff bird and be flown by them. It was a space filled with the smell of lavender, the feeling of a soft poppy flowers, and the ambiance of yellow happiness. I slept like a baby, but I didn’t cry I promise, well not yet in the weekend.
The next day was my birthday, I felt like the luckiest girl in the world to be apart of such a divine experience! Words cannot describe the beauty that was Saturday. There were 2 yoga sessions, singing, eating, and a lot of learning. Not only from the teachers but from each other. Of course in yoga we are all teachers and we are all students and Saturday was a perfect display of that.
Sunday was a smooth ending to our shared experiences. Dolphins, seals, sea lions, and now A WHALE joined our experience. Thats one undeniable novelty of doing Yoga on the ocean is being able to share the space with nature and its housed companions.
Anyway, we all shared ourselves for our last time for that weekend with tears of joy and gratefulness for the everlasting connections. The exchange, the understanding and the bond that was created and built that precious weekend was definitely meant for just us.
I HIGHLY recommend that if you are at all interested in paddle yoga as a teacher or a student or just for another notch on the old belt, these girls are the ones to do it with! There is something very special about Bliss that when experienced, no one can deny.
I mean, yoga+ beautiful souls + paddle boards + ocean (MUST) =AWESOMENESS
Right?
