Description
I am looking mainly for paid opportunities (might consider exchange for food + accommodation) in TTCs and Retreat Facilitation, preferably 3+ months. I am quite open to travel for long term positions, but would prefer opportunities around Bali, Thailand and India.
I began practicing yoga and meditation in 2012, diving deep into both Hindu and Buddhist spiritual philosophy that underpin both practices. My main interest is in the concept of Chakras as understood from the Eastern standpoint drawing on the parallels from the Western science. My life mission is to bridge the gap between science and spirituality in order to provide a holistic (physical, mental, emotional & spiritual) yet grounded guidance, thus maximising the transformative power of the 8 yogic limbs. My teaching style focuses heavily on the breath and the development of self-awareness: 1) Connecting all movement to the breath 2) Using asanas to bring awareness to muscles, emotions, sensations and chakra points 3) Releasing energetic, emotional and physical tensions through exhalation 4) Developing mindful control over intrusive thoughts 5) Cultivating a deep sense of connection, gratitude and compassion.
I have many years of experience in presenting, facilitating and teaching. I have worked in the education sector for 10 years presenting and running workshops for over 10,000 people up to date. My particular interest was in understanding neuroscience and psychology of learning, mindset and motivation, which I frequently now use in my methods. In 2012 I have began my journey with yoga and meditation in conjunction with an intensive study of Hindu and Buddhist spiritual philosophies. Since completing my 200h training in 2017, I have facilitated and co-facilitated workshops and events sharing meditation, yoga, psychology, and much more. In my coaching practice my main goal is to empower women to create a deeper alignment of their Body, Mind, Emotion, and Spirit. I draw on my own expertise, Philosophy BA and Psychology MSc, to teach, coach and present workshops in a way that is evidence-based yet grounded in the traditional spiritual principles. Health and wellbeing are an integral part of my journey and I have completed several nutrition courses and offer alternative therapies such as Reiki and Crystal Healing. I am also qualified as a Feminine Soul Awakening Facilitator, so dedicated to creating women’s circles and hold space for women – workshops where they can be raw, wild and vulnerable with their sisters.
