The Story Behind Living Yogi Life
The road to discovering your Self
By ANNA MANVEL
Hello, my dear reader!
Thank you for visiting Living Yogi Life. I believe you have come here to experience the real world of yogis and the way of healthy living. If so, you are in the right place! And it doesn’t really matter if you have never done yoga before or the opposite, you are a long-time practitioner – you will surely find here something interesting for yourself.
Couple words about myself. My name is Anna and I am the owner and the creator of livingyogilife.com.
My background was a massage therapist and a personal trainer until I found yoga. And then I realized that yoga was the “Something” that was missing in my life. After that, it all came together, the whole life started to make sense.
“Yoga is not a religion or a cult, but a set of techniques which, when practiced correctly, within a short time, help one to achieve radiant health, mental and spiritual powers. With these three powers, one can achieve anything.”
Sri Dharma Mittra
My yoga journey started not too long ago when my husband David decided to sign both of us to yoga classes. From the very day, my life started to change. My relationships with people, my food choices, my thoughts, my decisions… Every single thing!
Although my husband could not keep a regular practice due to a busy lifestyle, I continued doing yoga regularly. And the progress was unbelievable. The asanas (postures) and pranayamas (breathing) came to me so naturally that only after half a year of practicing I decided to become a yoga teacher.
Along the way, yoga helped me to accept people as they are and be closer to them. Yoga helped me to trust and love, give without expectations and truly enjoy every second of this life. I became less affected by the outside world and more connected to myself. Yoga made me more spiritual. Yoga connected me closer to nature. And I have come to the realization that we are all ONE! And of course, because of yoga, I became a vegan.
Therefore, practicing yoga has truly become an incredible experience for me. And I thank God and my husband that yoga became a part of me! And I can assure you that yoga can change your life too!
Practicing and teaching yoga is surely an amazing experience, but I wanted to make a real contribution to this world. I realized that if you live based on yogic principles, life becomes so much more satisfying and happy! And therefore I decided to show on my own example of how one can live a yogi life on a daily basis.
As a result, I created a website LivingYogiLife.com where I share my own journey and the knowledge I have with the world. I write about the most incredible yogis’ places that anyone should visit at least once in a lifetime, about yoga teachers who are changing the world, and about healthy lifestyle, which ultimately leads to living a life fulfilled with joy and happiness.
