Sara's Yoga teaching dream

Donation protected
Let’s be honest: asking for help is difficult. It’s a vulnerable place, and rejection is a real possibility. Luckily, I am more determined than worried, and more excited than nervous.

I founded this campaign in hopes of raising enough money to afford a yoga certification so that I can teach others, share my passion, and (hopefully!) earn a living doing what I love.

A little background:

I’ve dedicated myself to my yoga practise for nine years. What began as an opportunity to resolve my anxiety issues became a way of life (as well as the solution to my anxiety!).

In hopes of both traveling and furthering my yoga practice, I committed to a journey living abroad when I learned of an opportunity to teach at a yoga studio in the Czech Republic. My life in a foreign country is brimming with the adventures of meeting new people, seeing new places, and trying new things; it is abundant, and I am continually learning.

My journey has left me with one regret, however; my fortuitous offer to teach at the Czech yoga studio fell through, and I’ve come to realize that the yoga lifestyle that I love does not flourish here.

I admit this realization initially left me despondent; I felt sabotaged and trapped until my passion reawakened when I met someone whose practise greatly inspired me.

Dr. Szymon Jaroslawski works at a local art and ballet studio; when I enjoyed the luxury of attending one of his vinyasa classes, he inspired in me a new drive to achieve my yoga aspirations. I experienced anew the passion, determination, mindfulness, and strength that yoga has always instilled in me.

I am determined earn my yoga certification by attending Dr. Jaroslawski’s 200 hour yoga teacher training that begins in May.

This is where your generosity comes in. Consider your donation to my yoga training a contribution to the most important gift I could ask for; a gift that enables me to help, teach, and touch others’ lives with something that endows me with a sense of purpose and fulfillment.

Thank you for taking the time to share this journey with me! Namaste.
