MY JOURNEY

Well, the start of my journey may be no other than yours. I'm a human being with a daily life facing daily struggles: From issues in the family, with men, body-image and self-worth,

Life wasn't always easy. As it is for nobody.

For a long time, I found myself running in circles. Circles of numbness to avoid the pain. Switching from mask to mask so as not face everything that lay beneath the surface. And with every new mask I started shifting further away from me. Hurting myself by denying myself.

I was sick of it.

And no, I didn't have a wake-up call. I didn't have an enlightenment and a clear vision of how I wanted to live my life from now on. But I knew, I had to change something. Slowly but steadily I started working on myself. A hard path. A long path. A path that led me to yoga. And wow, I fell in love. With every single aspect of it.

So I decided to do a yoga-teacher-training in Bali (I know, kind of a cliché). But let me tell you, it's the best cliché ever. Truly and sincerely understanding the way how yoga shows us to connect to body, mind and soul. To go on a journey to yourself through yourself. To peel of the masks and face the pain. To be conscious and honest to yourself.

And now? Well, my daily struggles stay. Because yoga doesn't make my (your) life better. It just makes me (you) live better.

THE PEACEFUL WARRIOS

It's said, that a Yoga Teacher Training is a life-changing experience. I found that hard to believe. Till I did it myself. And I will tell you the same. I chose to do my 200HR YTT Hatha & Vinyasa with The Peaceful Warriors in Canggu, Bali. During this one month I learned more about Yoga and Myself than I could have ever imagined. Thanks to the big variety of teachers you don't miss out on a single aspect of yoga: Daily practice, Asana Lab, Sequencing, Yoga-Philosophy, Anatomy, Meditation, Pranayama, and Ayurveda. We did it all.

But what makes the journey with The Peaceful Warriors so exceptional is not the knowledge about yoga you gain. It's the safe space our teacher created to allow you to experience what yoga is. To put theory into practice. On yourself. So you end up finding yourself.

I am beyond grateful for the experience with The Peaceful Warriors and can only highly recommend them!

If you have more questions about the yoga teacher training I am more than happy to answer them or check out The Peaceful Warriors.

BALI

Bali, the island of gods, the love of my life, my chosen home. This island is just full of magic. Let me explain it like this:

You drive on your scooter through the small village located between rice fields. The wind in your hair. You smell a mix of jasmine flowers, burned incents, petrol, and spices. At the end of the street, the ocean is waiting for you. You watch the sun kissing the horizon while enjoying a Bintang or a fresh coconut. Hungry? From local warungs to the hippest vegan place. Everything is just delicious.

But the best thing about Bali is the people. The Balinese that smile at you on every occasion. Honoring life as the gift is.

All of these things combined create this magic atmosphere, where everything can happen. You might learn surfing, go to an astetic dance, dance the night through, fall in love and find yourself.
