i’m a yoga teacher!

8 years ago, i stepped into a yoga class for the first time.

people would ask if i wanted to become a yoga teacher.

my answer was always the same.

“no. i don’t want to turn my hobby into my job.”

i couldn’t have been more wrong.

because i eventually realized my hobby was never yoga.

my hobby is practicing asanas. i love playing with transitions, arm balances, and inversions. it’s where i reconnect with the little girl who wasn’t afraid to fall, who believed she could do anything.

yoga is something much bigger, way bigger than a job or a hobby.

on march 3rd, 2025, after years of working on cruise ships, i found myself with yet another terrible boss.

she was the karma.

she became the final push i needed to leave a job that no longer aligned with the life i wanted.

that day, i made myself a promise.

i’m doing a yoga teacher training.

i was broke, so i moved to amsterdam for a year to save enough money to turn that goal into reality.

what i didn’t expect was that amsterdam would change me far beyond that.

i had incredible managers who reminded me what it feels like to be valued. i met amazing people. i expanded my perspective, questioned old beliefs, became more conscious, deepened the relationship i already had with myself, and found a sense of freedom i had never experienced before.

that freedom allowed me to finally become the traveler i had always wanted to be.

today, after completing my 200-hour training in bali, i still don’t know exactly what this path will look like.

but i do know this.

this course gave me so much more than a certificate.

it taught me that the things that truly matter require discipline, presence, love, and trust.

because yoga isn’t just something i practice.

it’s how i choose to walk through life 🤍

a big thank you to my teachers for sharing your knowledge, your patience, your kindness, and your hearts so generously. you’ve inspired me in ways you’ll probably never know - @tantrarama @mayanku.yoga @rastawolfyogi @ticcoish @houseofom.bali
