Yam & Marco | Love Story of a Yogini
“It’s was drop in yoga class at the beautiful yoga centre in Goa, India. I have been teaching at for years, I was in the middle of teaching a yoga teacher training and wasn’t supposed to teach that class but someone asked me to cover and I’m glad I did. Just as I was about to start the class two gentlemen enter the Shala a little late. I continue the class and as i normally do I go to the students to adjust their yoga poses, I approach one of the gentlemen’s at the back and as I place my hands on his lower back I feel a special energy I don’t always feel ! Like electricity! I continue the class and at the end this gentleman approaches me and introduces himself as Marco. We have many friends and things in common! We are both yoga teachers and therapists. We connect on Facebook and within a few days he already writes me and invites me to dinner.
The journey of opening up to love begins and we spend days and nights getting to know each other, the season ends and Marco has to return to Europe to work. I go for holiday in Thailand and Marco surprises me for 6 days.We spend the whole summer in beautiful European locations and we go deeper into our love. We begin to share our lives together travelling to India and both teaching yoga together, we love to practice Acroyoga which is a wonderful practice for two people where you learn about Connection and Trust.We are still learning a lot about Life and love together and we both hope to someday offer trainings together and to create a beautiful space where we can call home & share what we both love which is Yoga & Healing modalities.
I am deeply grateful for Marco and his presence in my life and all he teaches and shares with me. He is such a gentle and compassionate person I’m so happy he came to that Yoga class that day and changed my life forever.
