Have you ever had that feeling where you’ve been living for something for years and suddenly it’s not there? It happened to me in February 2021. After 15 years of living for one brand, I suddenly didn’t feel like saying the name anymore. I went through a phase where I couldn’t believe it, I was angry, I wanted to prove what they had lost. Then came the phase of sorting things out and getting everything out of sight. Then there was a great period when I wanted to immediately throw up everything and wanted to quit with all (even though I didn’t). But one thing kept reminding me of it – and that was the bike in the middle of the living room. I won’t throw away the bike! I won’t throw away the memories! And that’s how I got to thinking about how I can deal with my life differently. How about devoting myself to what until then was just my hobby and developing it a bit? Yes, and that was the right way.

I started doing several things that helped me move to a completely different life situation and level of perception of my life. Suddenly, it is not important for me to be on stage and lead lessons, on the contrary, I enjoy lessons with people and mainly FOR people. I see their successes, I like to train new instructors, but even more I like to teach new clients to find a love for exercise. And not only in indoor cycling, but mainly in the area of yoga, relaxation and regeneration.

So I moved the group training classes from the position of number one to the position of hobby and joy. I do it mainly for myself and for the people – it’s not work motivation, it’s just luck that I can do something like this and I still enjoy it after 24 years.

In 2019, I completed training in yoga massage and the Dorn therapy. These two things were more like my hobby and an attempt at a new path, so I gave this path a better chance, because suddenly there was space for it. Now two years later, pain therapies have become one of my main work activities and it gives me great joy to see people leave happier, more relaxed and calmer. I became very aware of the connection between physical and psychological pain and I started to take care of my body with more love.

Body and face care has always been very important to me, but somehow I mainly dealt with the effect of the products and not so much with the composition. But when I started to deal with diet and movement in depth, it became more and more clear to me how important it is that the products I put in and on my body are clean and do not burden the body with chemicals. I started researching the ingredients of the products and the things I had previously recommended to people suddenly didn’t meet my criteria. I thought about a change because this part of my life stopped making me happy. I was looking for products that would better identify with my philosophy. What I found absolutely exceeded my expectations.

Not only are the products clean, fresh, without fillers, chemical preservatives and microplastics, but their entire production is extremely ecological and environmentally friendly. I’ve even started shopping and recycling in a different way thanks to what I’ve learned over the last few months, I’m meeting people who have these interests and it’s incredibly liberating. I love to go join these educations in person, and one of them was in Vienna in January, when I had the opportunity to see the production directly and more under the hood. It’s a great thing, a deep thought, and I’m very happy to be a part of it.

The hobby is gradually becoming my profession and it is nice to be a woman, to take care of my beauty and health instead of my sports performance. Movement is still a big part of my life, but I’m not going anywhere anymore. I enjoy life. Every day I am grateful for the health of myself and my family, I try to contribute to it as much as possible and it makes me happy to lead others on a similar path. I’m happy with where I’ve come, I’m happy and I’m enjoying the journey of life.

And what about you?
