Welcome to the Lucas Rockwood Show. I'm your host. I'm a yoga teacher, a

trainer, a serial entrepreneur. I'm a nutritional coach and a father, but first and

foremost I'm a student I'd like to go out into the world and learn things.

Usually on this show I have authors and experts and PhDs and medical doctors and do my best to bring their best thinking,

their best research to you here so I can learn so you can learn

and hopefully we can all live a better life.

This week's show is a departure from that.

It's called Losing it all in COVID-19.

I'm here in Barcelona, Spain where I've lived for over 10 years now.

We're nearly two months into the COVID-19 lockdown and so instead of our usual experts,

I thought I'd share with you my experiences so far during

this crisis with the hopes that, well, I can glean some insight and hopefully you can too.

To keep things simple and to not get lost on toilet paper or alien tangent conspiracies.

I thought we could focus on how I lost my yoga studios.

Number two, how crisis unvails both strengths and weaknesses and

and weaknesses in systems and people.

Number three, how quickly we humans can adapt.

And number four, what really matters in life.

Let's talk about my yoga studios first first the quote that keeps ringing in my head is my best thinking got me here my best thinking got me here so I started working at age 19 I'm about to turn 42 so you know 23 years almost into this career and

the physical manifestation of all that work the economic manifestation is

or there's three yoga studios I don't own a home I don't have any family jewels or anything like that. It's these three studios. They're beautiful studios here in the center of Barcelona. Many of you have been to visit them. We do, we've been serving local students for many, many years, thousands of local students with daily drop-in classes,

workshops, training events, international events, and it's been a huge source of pride and a very, very rewarding focus of my career recently.
