For a very long time, I really wasn’t aware that there is so many different ways how to live life – and that I can choose my very own way of living and create a life for myself that feels right. From the external perspective, I had built the ‚perfect life‘ for myself: a good job, nice friends, long-term relationships and a nice flat. Internally, however, I felt completely different…
The life I lived felt neither fulfilling nor aligned – and like I was living up to what other people wanted for me.
I continuously felt tense, stressed and under pressure. Wasn’t really capable to unwind and relax, experienced strong back pain, irregular menstrual cycles and sleep problems. I lost my joy for life and felt empty on the inside.
What I did every day, didn’t fulfill me at all. At the same time, I felt that there MUST be more – more depth, more purpose and more meaning. Thus, I began to question my life and the choices I had made.
The turning point was a sabbatical that I embarked on in 2017: far away from home, backpacking in Asia, it took weeks to finally unwind and slow down. I realized that I couldn’t continue living this way and suddenly saw for the first time how unhappy, burned out and tired I was – and that something needed to change.
An intense time period began with lots of shifts and changes.
Yoga, meditation and spirituality become important tools for me that gave me stability and strength in my journey of looking for answers to the big questions of life: ‚Who am I‘, ‚Why am I here‘ and ‚What life do I truly desire‘. I found myself again and again returning to Bali where I eventually ended up learning about Breathwork for the first time.
Breathwork opened me up in ways that I could have never imagined.
