How yoga changed my life. The story of a Yoga Teacher

Yoga journey lasts forever.

I remember that day when I went to yoga class first time, I was around 13, and I didn’t like it at all! And now I am Certified Yoga Teacher 🙂

But I came back to the idea of practicing five years later. At that moment happened everything together. I start having health troubles because of working in China, my heart was broken from love and I was simply lost inside.

My yoga started with the Nike Training app. Yes yes, I was practicing on my own a good while before going for a class with a real teacher. But honestly, I took maybe three classes with the teacher which is my best friend. Practicing on my own seemed more fun. Especially when you travel a lot for work is much more convenient.

So I start loving it! I felt my body more and more flexible, my chest more open and my back strong and straight. What was very important for being a model.

After a while also a menstrual pain went away. I never struggled with it much, but like everyone, I felt uncomfortable these days. And yoga changed everything completely. Also now, if I have some cramps again I simply do the practice.

One more, the coolest benefit is a calm and peaceful mind. The world becomes way more different inside of you. During super stressful work I was able to stay calm and happy.

And even after few years, I was not going much to practice in studios. My best teachers were on YouTube and I could create a space for practice everywhere I was. And is true, you don’t need much to start. Is enough to have a yoga mat, some aromas, and your body 🙂 Now the internet is full full full of free classes of any style you want. You might visit few private classes only to check if you don’t do any mistakes. This is how I did.

So, my body became better, my health improved and I got more conscious about myself and the world around me. I started to promote yoga to everyone. I was even leading few classes for my model roommates.

At that point, I decided to quit the job of the model and go somewhere to study for a yoga teacher. I wanted to go to India. I still want, but something was changing my way all the time. And I went for a course in Bali.

I studied Hatha & Vinyasa Yoga, together with breath and meditation techniques. And I became a member of the Worldwide Yoga Alliance as a Registered Yoga Teacher.

Now, yoga is my life. I always have my yoga mat, essences, and yoga pants to be able to practice everywhere I am 🙂
