Hello, name is Juan and I will tell you about my story in Yoga.
I have been working in the area of technology for more than 20 years, however throughout my life I have been passionate about the subject of physical, mental and spiritual well-being.
The stress level at work that I had was always very high, so in 2012 I decided to start taking Yoga classes since I had heard it was very good for lowering stress levels and I was living with stress at that time quite high.
As I practiced, I realized that not only stress got down, but also my way of reacting to life improved, I felt more inspired, I began to take care of my thoughts, I was more connected with the present moment, I began to appreciate details I generally did not have in my Mind, nature suddenly caught my attention and when I least thought about it, my house was also full of plants, adding to this a great physical state, I began to feel more agile, stronger, my body was more flexible, my way breathing began to become more conscious and relaxed, so when I observed all these benefits, a very strong interest and passion for Yoga was born in me and the desire to share everything I was feeling and learning through Yoga arose in me ,I wanted to be able to reach other people who, like me, were surviving in life instead of living it fully.
This is how I made the decision to leave behind what I dedicated for 20 years and start from scratch to prepare myself to share Yoga, not as a discipline to gain flexibility, but as a lifestyle that really helps us fully enjoy every second of our existence.
Of course I felt a little scared at the beginning of making this decision, however within me I knew that I was doing the right thing, now 3 years after making that decision I feel totally satisfied for having done it.
I have had the opportunity to learn with wonderful teachers who not only share their knowledge but share themselves through their teachings and their congruence, also learned a lot from the students who in the end end up being my teachers as well.
Today I love the way I have to earn a living, I am trying to learn continuously, aware that Yoga is a discipline in which something new is always learned, I fully enjoy sharing everything I can with the people who come to my looking to start or continue with this wonderful discipline that is Yoga.
I wish that you find on this path what you have always been looking for and that is found within you.
Namaste
