HW: Introduction
Hi everyone,
My name is Nela (pronounced in english as if it would have two Ls- “Nella”). I am originally from Transylvania, in Romania, but I’ve been living in The Netherlands for the last two years.
I joined this beautiful community and training last year in July. I am quite new to yoga, I’ve started roughly one and a half years back on the Daily Yoga app where I found Dashama’s 30 day challenge and I fell in love with her spirit, presence and amazing energy. I did the 30 day challenge then and trying slowly to build up my flexibility, which is the main reason why I turned to yoga. I am a big fan of exercising, but I was mainly doing strength, full body training and kickboxing. I realized that balancing it out with flexibility and flow would reverberate across multiple areas of my life.
I am extremely passionate about learning and development, so lateralizing my understanding towards yoga and spirituality felt like a natural next step. I work in IT and I found myself often under a lot of stress and with an overly active “monkey mind”, running all over the place trying to find more information and learn something new and interesting. To help tame that I turned to meditation, but I had a difficult time in the very beginning. When Dashama’s offer for the teacher training came last year, I knew I wasn’t at the level of physical and spiritual practice that most of you already are, but that it would also give me the extra push to dive deeper into it and to accelerate what would otherwise probably take years. So even if I was already working full time, just starting my phD studies, learning a new language and exercising and reading as much as possible, I thought this was a sign from the Universe to follow this calling for balance and introspection through the YTT training.
I am so grateful to meet all of you and although I have taken a few slower steps while my work and studies were requesting a lot of my time, I am now continuing where I left off. I am setting a goal to join a live training in Bali as well, it’s been on my list for a while.
I hope to see you on zoom as well soon, as I have not been able to attend the wednesday workshops since the time change.
Much love to all of you. Namaste!
Nela
