Hello! I'm a travel-loving, curious and caring yoga instructor, currently living in Boulder, Colorado. I'm currently working on my Personal Trainer certification (CPT), and teach a variety of yoga styles. I'm vegetarian and gluten free; however, I am a huge cook, and love to cook for other people! I enjoy being active - hiking, biking, HIIT... any kind of movement is really my area. I've danced almost all of the life, including at the U of M. I currently work teaching yoga around Boulder County, as well as being a Whole Foods Market team member in the Whole Body (supplements, body care, etc) section. I read, write and speak basic German (two years of college), love to sing, and am a huge animal lover - as well as a Red Cross certified babysitter. I have my CPR/AED certification, and my TEFL certification from my time working as an instructor in Poland.
Thank you for reading a bit about me!

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I believe that couchsurfing is a great way to meet people and gain a greater understanding and respect for local culture. I'm a very social person, with a wish of making connections and networks around the world, and contribute a little bit of myself along the way.

Interessen

I enjoy working with and promoting grassroots charities and organizations, as was my job at LUSH Fresh Cosmetics. I am deeply interested in environmental, animal rights and humanitarian concerns, which is part of what inspired my travel.

I received my 200 RYT certification in Rishikesh, India. I'm trained in Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Hatha, Yin, Restorative and Yoga Nidra. Additionally, my studio is known for their Aerial Yoga and Yoga Sculpt. I teach community classes for the local LGBTQI+ community, to help cultivate appreciation for one's body, regardless of gender, sexuality, race, etc.

I am an outdoors-woman and love to adventure. I'm very into movement and work out quite regularly. When not doing yoga, I enjoy everything from rock climbing (a skill I'm still learning) to HIIT (high intensity interval training).

I have been drawing and painting since I was quite young, and am very helpful with household projects involving painting, DIY, etc. Please ask if you'd like any help!

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I was raised on Jane Austen, JRR Tolkien, and JK Rowling. I am a veracious reading, and love new recommendations. Philip Pullman, Garth Nix, Tamora Pierce and Neil Gaiman are a few of my favorite fantasy writers. I am very interested in the global economy and world politics, so "The Tipping Point," "The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy," and " The Omnivore's Dilemma" are a few of my current favorite non-fiction books; I also love to study food history and the alternative movements in the culinary arts. Additionally, I like deepening my mindfulness - "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz is one of my personal favorites.

I was raised watching Studio Ghibli, Monty Python and Pixar. "Princess Bride," will always be one of my favorite movies, contrasted by one of my other favorites, "V for Vendetta." I love action and superhero movies (with good screenplays/plots), documentaries, classics turned to movies, arts films (think "Amelie"), etc.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Traveling through Europe and India alone were huge accomplishments for me. Additionally, I worked as the charitable giving coordinator for LUSH, and helped fund two local, non-profit charities (TvbyGirls and Friends of the Boundary Waters).

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I am a yoga teacher, and my favorite thing to do is teach! Please feel free to ask. I also have my TEFL certification, and am in the midst of getting my CPT.

I love to learn new things, and love to share my knowledge with others!
