Hola, I’m Lino from Mexico—a remote working freelancer with a passion for exploration and self-growth. I never imagined that a 3-week stay at Swasti Yoga Center would completely transform my life and career in yoga. Whether you’re a beginner or just curious about what yoga can do for you, let me share my story of discovery, connection, and vibrant culture.
A Warm Welcome from Day One
From the moment I arrived, I felt an immediate sense of belonging. Swasti Yoga Center isn’t just a place to practice yoga—it’s a community that opens its arms to everyone. Every day at 6:30 AM, the day would start with a refreshing yoga session that set a positive tone. Under the guidance of Dr. Vikas and Dr Shwetambari ji, our yoga teachers and mentor, we weren’t just taught poses; we were encouraged to explore new routines, push our boundaries, and discover the true essence of yoga.
Beyond the Asanas: A Journey of Adventure and Learning
Dr. Vikas made every day an adventure. Our mornings of yoga quickly blended into activities that deepened our understanding of both yoga and the local culture. Here are some highlights of my unforgettable experience:
- Cultural Immersion: We visited government public schools, where we taught kids about our country’s culture, learned about sustainable tourism, and even went on picnics in beautiful natural areas. Every excursion was a lesson in life and yoga!
- Urban Escapades: From marveling at musical fountains to exploring shopping malls, dining at vibrant restaurants, and indulging in delicious ice creams, we balanced traditional practices with modern fun.
- Spiritual and Social Bonding: I had the opportunity to visit serene temples and join in various cultural exchange activities. We played games, watched movies, attended weddings, and celebrated birthdays together. It felt like a big, joyful family!
- Home-Cooked Happiness: Dr. Vikas’ mom, a wonderful cook, served the best Indian food I’ve ever tasted adding an Ayurveda touch, adding a heartwarming touch to my experience. Her culinary delights were as nourishing as the yoga sessions.
How Yoga Changed My Life
Before joining Swasti Yoga Center, I practiced asanas here and there, but I never truly understood the full depth of yoga. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Vikas, I learned that yoga is so much more than physical exercise—it’s a holistic practice that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit. Every day brought a new lesson, a new insight, and a new way to live a balanced and meaningful life. I emerged not only as a more skilled yoga practitioner but also as a better version of myself.
A New Career, A Global Connection
My time at Swasti Yoga Center ignited a spark that helped me launch my career as a yoga trainer online. Thanks to the comprehensive training, engaging community, and the incredible experiences I shared with my new family, I now teach yoga virtually, reaching a global audience. If you’ve ever dreamed of turning your passion into a career or simply want to explore the transformative power of yoga, Swasti Yoga Center is the perfect starting point.
Final Thoughts
My 3-week journey at Swasti Yoga Center was a mosaic of inspiring yoga sessions, cultural adventures, and heartfelt connections. Whether you’re just beginning your yoga journey or looking to deepen your practice, I encourage you to take that leap. Embrace the vibrant traditions, learn new routines, and discover a community that will help you shine—inside and out.
Start your journey today, and who knows? You might find yourself, like me, going from remote work to a radiant life full of passion and purpose.
