Namaste! 

I am thrilled to share my journey as a certified yoga teacher, dedicated to guiding others on their path to mindfulness and self-discovery. With a passion for yoga deeply ingrained within me, I embarked on a transformative journey to become a certified instructor, enriching my practice and honing my skills to share the gift of yoga with others.

🌟 Certification Journey:

My journey began with a profound commitment to deepen my understanding of yoga’s philosophy, techniques, and teachings. I underwent extensive training, completing a rigorous 250-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) then 300-hour YTT program, specializing in traditional Hatha yoga. This immersive experience provided me with a comprehensive foundation in yoga theory, anatomy, meditation, and pranayama, equipping me with the knowledge and expertise to guide students safely and effectively on their yoga journey.

πŸ™ Philosophy and Practice:

Rooted in the timeless wisdom of yoga philosophy, I embrace the holistic approach of yoga, integrating mind, body, and spirit in my practice and teaching. Drawing inspiration from ancient yogic texts, I emphasize the importance of mindfulness, compassion, and self-awareness, fostering a nurturing environment where students can explore and connect with their inner selves.

🌿 Teaching Style:

As a certified yoga teacher, I am committed to creating inclusive and accessible classes that cater to students of all levels and abilities. With a focus on alignment, breath awareness, and mindful movement, I guide practicioners through dynamic sequences and gentle flows, encouraging them to cultivate strength, flexibility, and inner peace on and off the mat.

πŸ’« Impact and Transformation:

Through my dedication to teaching and my own personal lifelong yogajourney, I have witnessed the transformative power of yoga in the lives of my students. From relieving stress and anxiety to improving physical health and emotional well-being, yoga has the profound ability to awaken the body, mind, and spirit, empowering individuals to live with greater vitality, purpose, and joy.

🌸 Continuing Journey:

As a lifelong student of yoga, I am committed to ongoing growth and learning, continually expanding my knowledge and deepening my practice to better serve my students. Through workshops, retreats, and continued education, I strive to stay informed of the latest developments in the field of yoga and holistic wellness, enriching my teaching and enhancing the experiences of those I have the privilege to guide.

🌟 Join me on the mat as we journey together towards greater health, happiness, and fulfillment. Together, let us cultivate strength, balance, and inner peace, embracing the transformative power of yoga to awaken our true potential and live life to the fullest. Namaste! πŸ™

NEPAL – COURSE 300H TCC PART 2.

About teacher training always I got questions: is it worth it?

My answer is of course. Stick to the practice and away from everything, focusing only one thing ON YOURSELF to help you to get through on a rough path.

When I arrived in Nepal I was filled with my everything. COVID hit my job a bit, and for a while, I have not been doing anything so deep lately. I wanted to have something different, and extra. Many times I think about my supersensitivity (after I realized that supersensitivity is exist). I tried so hard to balance my relationship, yoga, gym, girlfriend, supporter and friend, and child roles. It’s impossible to be ok and 100% everywhere.

teaching the Dharma by the middle

Buddha

So for me, the middle path is the hardest. I do something hard, or I don’t. I never try, I do. If you know me you also know I’m kinda maximalist, but also I have a compulsion for conformity.

If we think about humanity: people like what is easy and comfortable. And what do you think, what can help you to move out of your comfort zone? If you go somewhere and do something for yourself, that you have never done in your life. Nepal was out of my comfort zone.

Waking up early, practicing, eating and practicing again, sleeping early, and waking up again. It’s not the middle path of course. But it’s learning, and for learning, you have to be intensive. If you start practicing yoga, you can’t just practice once per week. Because it’s not just an exercise. It was not comfortable, and it was not easy. It was hard, tough, and painful as well. But totally deserves.

But if you start to practice, you gonna feel, you would like to practice more and more. When somebody goes somewhere to have a Yoga retreat in a 5 stars hotel, that person won’t get what she/he wanted.

Bhagavad Gita

BG 2.70:Β Just as the ocean remains undisturbed by the incessant flow of waters from rivers merging into it, likewise the sage who is unmoved despite the flow of desirable objects all around him attains peace, and not the person who strives to satisfy desires.

NEPAL – Flight and 300H TTC course info PART 1.

Budapest to Dubai, UAE (Wizz Air)

Dubai to Kathmandu, Nepal (Fly Dubai)

From Kathmandu to Pokhara (Buddha Air) was the best option because of our timeline. We had to arrive in Pohara 4th of September. Actually, we started our journey on the 2nd of Sept, but with these flight changes, we had a huge transfer time gap in Dubai. We just arrived in Nepal 3rd of Sept and both flights took around 10 hours for us, but the whole travel around 24 hours in the end.

Wizzair costs around 250 USD going and coming for me, FlyDubai around 500 USD, and Buddha Air 160 USD. So the travel total is around 1000 USD.

The USD was around 400 HUF when we left the country, but when we arrived 440 HUF. So our money day by day also in Nepali rupees worth less by the time.

Insurance:

I wanted normal-priced and valued insurance, however, Nepal is not the best place to have any kind of problem. But I did not overreact, because I had experienced my mom being an insurance specialist so we made a middle valued and middle-priced traveling insurance for 1 month.

It costs 150 USD.

Extra 120 USD – TIFUS and HEPA A vaccination.

TTC:

Our TTC was with accommodation, we stayed in a Hotel Tulsi (Pokhara) TTC started with a fire ceremony (Puja for purification, and healing) 4th of September and we finished 28th in the morning with our final closing ceremony.

Fire ceremony purifies emotions, burns up unresolved conflict and worries, and leaves us feeling lighter, free, and more open inside. As we focus on letting go, the fire dissolves our tensions leaving only Vibhuti, or Sacred Ash, behind.

Vedic Fire Ceremony

So about TTC, 250 USD was the deposit. and then we paid there 1350 USD. So a total of 1600 USD with accommodation and 2 times food (breakfast and lunch) for 28 nights.

TTC daily schedule – Monday to Saturday.
