<h2>Long time no see</h2>
<p>I know it&#8217;s been a long time since I published my last post. With all the things going on in my life, I kind of disconnected from blogging. Many times I thought about posting something but I felt like it&#8217;s not the right time. I didn&#8217;t feel inspired. Sometimes it made me a bit sad not to continue posting but hopefully I will get back to it again.</p>
<div>Since my last post from April 2022 there have been several changes in my life. I think that finally I am ready to share with you some pieces of my life from the past two years.</div>
<p> ;</p>
<h2>The end of my animation journey</h2>
<div>In December 2022 I decided to quit my favourite job &#8211; the animation. It was a hard decision after 10 years working in different hotels in Greece and Spain. But I just felt like it&#8217;s time to step out of my comfort zone and start something new. (Or maybe it&#8217;s just a break and one day I&#8217;ll get back to it? Who knows!)</div>
<p> ;</p>
<h2>Yoga journey</h2>
<div>In January/February 2023 I went to India for the second time. I had realized that it was time to take advanced yoga teacher training (YTT) and decided to do my 300 hours YTT in <a href="https://www.goayogashala.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Goa Yogashala</a> in Agonda, South Goa. In the same place but different school (<a href="https://www.sarvagunayoga.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sarvaguna Yoga</a>) where I took my <a href="https://www.luciesworld.net/2020/10/yoga-teacher-training-agonda-beach-goa-india.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">200 hours yoga teacher training</a> in 2020. I loved the place so that&#8217;s why I chose to go back there.</div>
<div>Since I felt like my first India travel got quite short (5 weeks), this time I flew there for 7 weeks. The training took 4 weeks and then I had another 3 weeks for travelling &#8211; I can talk about that next time.</div>

<h2>Back in Spain</h2>
<div>At the end of February I went back home to the Czech Republic to see my family and friends. At the beginning of March I flew to Spain. Without animation my life in Motril felt kind of incomplete, but at the same time I was excited about planning my new projects. I actually created two projects even though till now I have only released one. In June 2023 I started working as independent yoga teacher and my yoga page (surprisingly) got named <a href="https://www.luciesworld.net/luciesyogaworld">Lucie&#8217;s Yoga World</a>. I do yoga classes on the beach or in the park in <a href="https://www.luciesworld.net/2018/04/8-places-you-should-visit-in-almunecar.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Almuñécar</a>. So if you ever come for holidays, don&#8217;t hesitate to get in touch with me.<br />
(I might mention my second project later on.)</div>

<h2>Working in Helios</h2>
<div>In June I also got an offer to work in the <a href="https://www.helioshotels.com/hotel-helios-costa-tropical/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hotel Helios</a> again. When I was working there in animation, as a part of my job I was helping as a hostess in the restaurant. And that&#8217;s the job I accepted doing last summer. I really enjoyed working there and I was very happy to see many guests I already knew from the past years. In the end, I only ended up working there for three months during the summer season because then it got incompatible with my work as a yoga instructor. Even though I enjoyed the work, I realized that I need to focus more on my goals and my own growth.</div>

<h2>Holiday in Menorca</h2>
<div>When I stopped working in the hotel, I decided to take a short holiday and spent few days in <a href="https://www.luciesworld.net/2018/11/menorca-the-island-of-7-lighthouses.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Menorca</a>. Menorca is the island that I fell in love with. I spent there two summer seasons working in <a href="https://grupotel.com/en/hotels/Menorca/calan-bosch/aldea-calan-bosch?hotel_id=16&;isOnlyAdults=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grupotel Aldea Cala&#8217;n Bosch</a> in 2017 and 2018. I always love going back to this paradise. Some of my friends are also still there, so it&#8217;s always nice to see them and catch up. This time I also went to see my colleagues in the hotel and it was a great surprise for them as nobody knew I was coming! Anyway, I enjoyed my time there very much and I also recharged my batteries for the next chapter.</div>

<h2>Lucie&#8217;s Yoga World</h2>
<div>When I came back to the Spanish mainland, I finally felt like I have more time and more energy to focus on growing my &#8220;yoga world&#8221;. I started doing more promotion and trying to gain more clients for my yoga classes. Because of that I also met many new people and made new connections.</div>
<p> ;</p>
<h3>The journey</h3>
<div>When I started teaching yoga independently, I knew that it won&#8217;t be easy but I was craving the flexibility and freedom so I wanted to make it work. At the moment I am still on the way towards my goal, my dream. Despite of everything, I am enjoying the journey itself. It makes me feel grateful for each client, for each opportunity and for each yoga class I lead. I am happy to see the progress in the practice of my students. I love teaching the classes and feeling that my work is meaningful.</div>
<p> ;</p>
<h3>My new life</h3>
<div>This whole new experience makes me grow and learn. It also makes me feel proud of myself because I stepped out of my comfort zone. I decided to create something and didn&#8217;t know how everything will turn out. I took the risk and I was willing to make it work somehow. Now I am still on the path but I am happy. I feel free and I appreciate every single moment of my &#8220;new life&#8221;. Even though it&#8217;s not always easy, it was worth to change.</div>
<div></div>

<h2>Every end is a new beginning</h2>
<p>To end working in animation was difficult to decide but as they say, &#8220;every end is a new beginning&#8221;. By stepping out of my comfort job, I became the creator of my own life. I started creating my new life how I wanted. On the way I have been gaining different experiences, learning new things, meeting new people and getting new opportunities. I don&#8217;t regret my decision at all. I just feel so grateful for this new chapter of my life.</p>
