Strange Times

I’m currently stuck in the Canary Islands on lockdown and I’ve been stuck indoors now for 6 weeks I love yoga so I have something to do but it’s going to be a while before we can get a flight back to the UK. Looking for any positivity to help get through these strange times

Hi Katz, I read a news item only yesterday. It said that the Canaries are going to ease the lockdown by opening bars and restaurants, but that they would not be allowing anyone to enter the islands. I remember laughing with my husband saying the locals would have a good time visiting all of the bars and restaurants when no tourists were around.

Maybe you want to slack off on the flight search. You could be in a good place to sit this out😁

Thanks for your message they decided today not to change the lockdown only children allowed out for a walk tomorrow 🙈 I will continue on with my yoga for now 😊

Hi Katz

I know it's not where you live but maybe you can carry on practising your yoga and try and practise it in the sun. Try maybe not to focus too much on hurrying back as the islands seem to be a lot better than the UK at present.

Take care

Yes katz2020, even the Canaries are no consolation when stuck inside. One location's much the same as the next and I'm sure you'd like to be back. But no help for it, so it's good to see how positive about it all you are being. It's so easy to let it all get us down and sometimes it really means drawing on reserves, but it's much better than too much negativity. Take care and be safe. 🌈

Hi Katz2020,

Sorry to hear you are in lockdown in the Canary Islands. I love the image and idea that posted by the way. Good to hear that you are doing yoga. What are your favourite poses ? Have you been learning or reading anything that’s particularly caught your interest ?

Stay safe x

Hopefully some good news for us in Spain 🤞🏻🤞🏻

The president announced in a call that the Government will allow going out to do sports or strolling from May 2 if contagions decrease: If the evolution of the pandemic continues in a positive sense, starting on May 2.

Have you started learning Spanish or are you already fluent? This would be an excellent opportunity if you visit Spain and its islands often. On which island are you now ?

in reply to Lola2003

Fuerteventura and yes I’m learning Spanish with Babbel 😊

Hi katz2020, For the past couple of years I've used a free meditation app called insight timer. It has a huge selection of guided meditations ranging from 10 minutes to over an hour, or indeed simply a timer. This is the link: insighttimer.com. Maybe this would be of some support.
