The Power of New Beginnings
Here we go with another New Year. Some of you may see it also as a new cycle of life. You choose. Whether you feel it this way or it doesn’t really mean a lot to you, it’s a great moment to start new journeys and embrace new beginnings. New beginnings hold immense power as they offer fresh opportunities, a chance to start afresh, and the potential for growth and transformation. They allow us to leave behind the mistakes and regrets of the past and embrace a future full of hope and possibility. By taking advantage of new beginnings, we can redefine ourselves, set new goals, and pursue our dreams with renewed vigor and determination.
Closing one cycle and opening another in life can be a powerful and transformative process. It involves reflecting on past experiences, lessons, and accomplishments, and finding closure or resolution. This might include letting go of things that no longer serve you, forgiving yourself or others, and making peace with the past. Opening a new...
7 tips for hosting your own yoga retreat
Hosting and planning your own yoga retreat can be daunting. Here at AmaSer we are happy to share our insights. Here are our 7 tips on how to begin the process.
1. Secure that money
A boring way to begin things, yes, but securing funding is crucial. Especially during these difficult times. A lot of retreat venues require a deposit to book your retreat. This is a personal financial risk for you. In case you have to cancel for any reason, you are likely to lose your deposit. Take into account that many venues ask for minimum numbers of students to sign up in order for you to host a retreat. So try to secure this before if you can.
Other important costs to consider:
- Advertising the retreat
- Lost income from classes you’ll miss out on teaching when you are away
- Your own travel expenses
- How to budget for the retreat’s food, any excursions, and activities
2. Create your vision
Your vibe will attract your tribe. When your retreat is an authentic reflection of...
5 things I learnt in my first ever yoga class at AmaSer
Hi, my name is Lucy and I have recently moved to beautiful Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. I heard all about Avani’s yoga center AmaSer, so I decided to come along to one of her Yin & Restore classes on a Tuesday afternoon. The class started just before the sun was beginning to set and the afternoon was turning to dusk. Here are five things I learnt about yoga!
- Yoga is accessible, even to a newbie like me
I would not exactly class myself as a Yogi. I was a little nervous before going to class. What if I obviously stuck out as a rookie, what if I could not hold a posture? Avani made me feel welcome as soon as I entered the class. She begun by explaining the purpose of the class and demonstrated every pose by including a number of variations to make sure you were comfortable and could really connect with how you held your body – without hurting yourself! It was easy to follow and made me feel like I was being cared for, rather than judged.
- Even a...
Finding Your Purpose
I spent most of my childhood inside my room, while my siblings were outside playing. I was asking myself how electrical components work. I grew up listening to my family saying to me that I will be an amazing engineer or scientific. I remember thinking to pursue a stable good job, have a family and a nice car was the purpose of my life.
So I decided to take the safe route and enter Engineer School, it wasn’t until the end of my second year that I gave up Uni. On the process I started reconnecting with myself and explored different areas, I ended up enrolling in a communication career, I travelled and discovered different cultures, different visions, and read, read a lot. And let me tell you; my perspective and aspirations completely changed! For good! I don’t even remember how many times and now in my latest twenties, I can start to feel what can be the purpose of my life.
I reconnect with myself and explored other areas, I studied...
