My Travel Story

In summer of 2012 I’ve completed my first 5 K run and I truly enjoyed the experience, even though I fully misunderstood the concept. Instead of finding appreciation towards the boost of endorphins and physical fitness, I focused on the RACE. Chase. Rivalry.  I’ve been running ever since, for money, career, even for love to quickly loose myself in never ending struggle of fulfilling expectations & ticking all the boxes. Each time I was closer to achieve my goals, I would set the bar even higher. Rat race must go on. Long hours at work would pay off the loans meant for unnecessary exhibits of aspirated material status. Even on holidays, I’ve eventually started living on tight schedules of rigorous ‘must see’ and ‘to do’ lists. Constant stress, migraine, stomach aches. You got the picture.

Being more self-aware now, I’ve finally decided to STOP. Stop running and start living fully, consciously and kindly. Take a deep breath and reflect on what really matters. To find that mysterious BALANCE, a sense of harmony in life. To connect the spirituality and wisdom of East, with unparalleled pace of West. And to share this peaceful approach with others during my travels and everyday life events.

In order to do that, I am signing myself up for a yoga teacher training course in a picturesque surroundings of Bali, a cradle of the soul inspiring zen culture. I will have 2 full weeks to strengthen physical technique and to open my mind for enlightening perspective. I am planning to cherish every minute of this adventure as the ultimate goal is to later on live up to these life lessons. Upon the certification, I will be hosting free yoga classes worldwide and building up the community of all those who are questioning the status quo and searching for more than just spinning on the corporate wheel.
