A letter to my teachers (friends)

 This experience began for me as a personal journey, a way to connect more deeply with myself, to learn how to be truly comfortable in my own company, and at the same time to deepen my understanding of yoga and gather more tools that might one day help me share it with others.

About myself… I arrived here literally alone. I was freaking out, because I wanted this journey to be personal; few people, close to nature, peaceful… But of course, I didn’t expect to be the only student for the entire month!

My first reaction? Crying.

Why? Because of fear — the fear of truly facing myself, of feeling too lonely in this process, of closing off to the unknown.

Still, I decided to stay. Something inside me was saying: “Maybe this isn’t what you expected, but deep down, you know you wouldn’t want to be surrounded by 40 other people either… so face it and go for it.”

And I did. I stayed… and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I could make.

You, my teachers, became my unconditional supporters. You shared your wisdom, your time, your company. You supported me through every stage of this journey and became true friends. Every day we talked for hours during breaks — about life beyond yoga, about experiences, thoughts, and feelings. We all opened our hearts in some way throughout this process, and I couldn’t be more grateful for that.

I came here not really planning to teach yoga, I was doing this mainly for myself. But after the course, you gave me a new perspective on yoga and made me reflect on what it truly means for me. I realized that perfection is not the key in this process, but consistency, discipline, and clarity of direction are.

Yoga has helped me in so many different ways. Maybe it won’t be my ultimate spiritual path, but it definitely supports me in my everyday life. And since I’m a person who loves to help others, it now feels natural to want to share some of this knowledge and help others through it too, because that’s something that really fulfills me.

Thank you… for all the knowledge, the wisdom, the laughs, even the hard moments (though there weren’t really any), for pushing me, for letting me ask endless questions, for showing me beautiful places, for the deep talks and amazing experiences. Thank you for letting me be part of your journey too.

Maybe we’ll never see each other again… or maybe one day we will. Who knows? But I’ll always carry a piece of you, of Tapas, and of Goa in my heart.

Namaste.

P.S. Look the sun! BITCH, let’s goooo!
