today is tuesday, I've been working this last weekend at this huge NIKE convention.. this year it was about 1250 participants who came from all over to be inspired by all theese instructors in various kinds of training like spinning, yoga, kettlebells, aerobics, dance, martial art, step up, ragga, street dance, functional training, core, body pump etc etc.

some of my collegues at the fitness gym where I teach once a week was among the instructors that was invited to teach there.
there is a blend of the Nike team instructors, some new upcomming ones and a whole bunch of international "stars" teaching there.
for Jessica Clarén [picture] it was her first as a presenter at Nike and it went really well, so I am happy for her. I like whenpeople who are pssionat about their thing gets a break and can at least sometimes get some credd for the work they do.

I have been there working for I dont know how many years ha ha, and I allways say "this is my last one" especially last year when I got really sich in flu afterwards. but this year felt like one of the easiest ones so far strangely..
my job there is to be somekind of assistent to the girl from NIKE who runs the whole convention, so ot can be everything. we are like co-ordinators of the staf, make sure all things if anything happends will be corrected & fixed. we mainly make sure all is under controll so nothing can happend.
it all starts with building up the whole thing ha ha the day before..
it is a huge thing, I dont think people realize how much work is behind this..
so anyway, long days, not to much sleep, indoors and outdoors, eating poorly, some stress and on top of that 1300 persons running around with their bacterias and are sweaty etc.. I've been sick afterwards at least the 2 last years ha ha.
but this year I just slept A LOT yesterday and felt totally beaten up, but I am not feeling ill so I am very happy!

so now after my south east asia journey, beeing sick when comming home and then this event/convention, I now today feel like I am more ready to put all my focus again on what I truly love, the world of yoga & teaching yoga classes..
it has been rather calm so far, so I hope it will come some more participants so I at least can afford my rent etc.
I am aware of the fact that this lifestyle is almost giving me inner stress about financial dilemmas, but I still prefer doing what I love to do, and feel blessed being able to be where I am.

so now I am longing for this term to get going..

peace..
