Virtual Holiday Retreat for VFers

I brought up a possible Essentrics class for VFers in the gift exchange thread....but think it will get buried.

I just helped a fellow Essentrics instructor with a virtual retreat last weekend and got to thinking....what about a holiday virtual retreat for VFers? I know there are other fitness instructors on VF. What if we picked a weekend and offered classes on Zoom?

Any takers or fellow collaborators? I wear a lot of different hats including Essentrics, Yoga Tune Up, and a couple other things I dabble in.

For those of you that are camera shy....you can always turn off your camera on Zoom....although half the fun is waving to your friends!

Thoughts?

Thanks Pam!

I think it would be fun to offer a day or two of classes, talks, or whatever people would like to offer. I know we have other coaches and instructors....VF is a wealth of knowledgeable people.

I didn't see this thread but Pam contacted me about this. I think this would be a great positive way for this community to come together and support each other. There are so many talented people here!

As a yoga teacher and psychologist, here are some possible things I could potentially contribute:
  • an exclusive YouTube class (only VFers get the link) tailored to what VFers want (yoga, meditation, or a mix)
  • possibly a live yoga class (I haven't actually taught live online and am not sure that my equipment/setup would translate well for this)
  • an experiential-style workshop, perhaps focused on something like self-care with mini-mindfulness exercises included (I have done this over Zoom for work so am more confident of my ability to pull it off)

Pam has my email; I'm happy to be a part of any conversations going forward.
