Upon attending my first yoga class in 2006 in Budapest (my long-time home), I felt the benefits deeply. After 25 chaotic years of working in marketing, I felt dissatisfied with my life; I have decided to shift away from having a packed schedule toward leading a more balanced, simpler, slower existence and focusing on just being happy. I craved a change and moved to Thailand in 2018, where my focus shifted to yoga, and my practice became a central component of my everyday life. I am still on this journey: I am working hard on being happier and healthier, sometimes more successfully, sometimes less, but I am deeply thankful to have found yoga, as the more I practice, the more I understand the world. At times, I have truly no idea what is going on around me, yet it is actually in these moments that yoga helps stabilize me the most. I now appreciate that I don’t have to know and I don’t have to understand everything. I am trying to think less about who I am supposed to be and more about who I really am. I completed my yoga teacher training in May 2023 in Rishikesh, India. I am enthusiastic about both sharing my personal experiences and learning from others about yoga, healthy living, and life! As a teacher, my greatest joy comes at the end of a practice when I see real change on the participants’ faces, with tension released, minds slowed down, and bodies experiencing the deepest sense of calm and inner peace.
