The COVID-19 pandemic altered hierarchies of values, social and family norms of coexistence, lifestyles, and consumption habits among the global population, imposing previously unimagined deprivations in the state of the confinement we shared with astonishment and almost perfect synchronization around the world. Our leisure styles were no exception. This study seeks to understand the role of leisure during the COVID-19 lockdowns. It has two objectives: i) to identify the main mutations in leisure during this period, and ii) to interpret people’s reactions to these transformations. Using multi-sited ethnographic self-observation and participant-self-observation records, a group of experts in the study of leisure registered their leisure experiences. Their practices mutated in terms of time, space, and content. In addition, they describe a profound nostalgia for the exercise of freedom, which all leisure practices imply. The study reveals a risk that predominately virtual leisure may facilitate superficial and unequal experiences, susceptible to colonization by obligations and work
