Hi, welcome to our site. You can read more about me a few lines below.

I'm Veronika, yoga instructor and healthy lifestyle promoter. I like work that is efficient and team oriented. I like to plan and organize. And honestly, it makes me feel good when I'm under a bit of pressure.

I'll take the schools at face value, they may not even be that crucial. After elementary school, I stepped onto the high school of the business academy. I've always enjoyed math, and merchant calculus was water for my mill. However, the older I got, the more I felt that accounting was not my life path. I couldn't imagine being stressed, sitting in a dark office and just going round and round doing the accounts.
But the truth is that I proudly received my high school diploma and was proud of how I had successfully completed my schooling.
I love learning and moving on. Language school was the next decision. As good as I am at math, I am like Alice in Wonderland with foreign languages. So, I went with my ignorance of the language. Conversations with native speakers took me to other parts of the world. I loved it.
While studying high school and then language school, I also earned some extra money in a seedy pub that was in the style of The Rolling Stones. Working behind the bar and the pub atmosphere grew on me and I stayed there after my studies. In the pub, I learned a lot over the years. I managed to spin a beer three times, memorized countless different orders from different guests, figured out a few pub pickpockets, and solved life's problems at two in the morning. I knew how to create an atmosphere that would keep guests coming back.
I also met my future husband and partner in life's journey.
After a brief acquaintance, we began to travel. The first hint of travel was hitchhiking. For me, it was the first enchanting feeling and awakened the adventurer in me. After the shared experience of thumbs up, we dared to travel more and more.

I knew I was an easy going girl, but traveling also sealed the deal. I'm grateful that I've been able to travel to these few countries and try out different roles. As a bricklayer, a waitress, a painter, a farmer - I'm especially good with potatoes :-), built the sofa out of pallets, and finally, my accounting knowledge paid off, which I put to good use at our lovely restaurant in Sri Lanka where I kept simple books. But it's not just new skills I've learned, my travels have also told me something about myself. I know I'm not a solo player, I like being in a team and I like to be consulted about things, new ideas and experiences. I positively embrace teamwork, but I'm also enthusiastic to take on an independent task. I like to plan and organise. I try to think about my work to make it as efficient and enjoyable as possible.

I also like to make things rather than spend money unnecessarily, that way I learn to improve and move things forward. Making things also helps me learn to be independent and try to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Giving back to nature with gratitude and humility.

Thinking about life and nature led me with ease to a yoga teacher. I am a level 2 yoga instructor, RYS 200 Yoga Alliance. Although I am an instructor, I am still primarily a student of yoga. And as every yoga teacher says - a journey that never ends. I have begun to pass on my experience on the mat and knowledge from books and lectures. I led a good group of women who loved my classes and came back regularly. I also offered individual lessons in my home, where it smelled of scented sticks and the clients felt very calm and comfortable. So the role of a yogini with me is overall in line with my mindset and attitude here.
Yoga is harmony and love for oneself and all beings, but also discipline and self-discipline.
As much as I enjoy teaching adults on the mats, I also enjoy returning to children's imagination and play. I have a degree in Leisure Education, this course does not make me a teacher, but I can run children's camps, clubs, devise various weekend games and so on. Children teach me to play and wander in their imagination and in return I instil in them a love of nature and natural exploration.

The various courses, lectures and skills have paid off and we have moved on. We got a job in Bali. In a beautiful resort right by the sea. Initially my job consisted of looking after guests, planning individual trips, checking rooms and gardens at the resort and afternoon yoga. I picked up the job quite quickly and enjoyed it very much. Over a relatively short period of time, the position was modified. Because of my results, work style and communication, both with guests and local staff, management decided to put me on the back of another industry at the resort - restaurant and gardeners. It was a challenge that made me feel a little winded. But in the end, it was the perfect wind in my sails. I got the restaurant back on track. And not just by working efficiently, visually and taste-wise, but most importantly by instilling team spirit. And the gardeners turned out to be primo collaborators who needed a nudge here and there.
Once I felt I was doing the job I was doing well, I focused on the details and making improvements. From special Balinese dinners to organising Christmas and New Year's from A to Z. I'm no stranger to wedding coordinators either. And I enjoyed organizing secret anniversaries or birthdays. I really feel like a fish in water when it comes to inventing, planning and organizing. New undiscovered places in Bali was my passion. And repeat resort guests loved the new places. If guests wanted to explore other parts of exotic Indonesia, I was their right hand in discovering them. From airfare to accommodations to activities like Komodo, it was a no-brainer. But to keep a positive attitude, energy and enthusiasm for my work I turned to yoga and more recently scuba diving, which Luba taught me. In addition to classical yoga, I took a Barre Yoga course, which I did while working at the resort and successfully completed so I could teach at the resort.

In conclusion, I am still a mom and this "role" in particular has given me the most out of all of them. 

Namaste
