Description

Hello everyone!
My name is Pablo and I am a yoga and meditation teacher from Spain. A few years ago I started the slow but rewarding process of moving to the country side and live a simpler and calmer life style.
After a lifetime of travelling and living in different places, I finally decided to settle down somewhere in the beautiful mountains of Asturias, where I manage a land and two houses.
As a volunteer I´ve worked as an aupair (yes, being a man :) ), gardener, builder, and my skills include all the necessary ones to manage a countryside style of living: good use of several building and gardening tools, woodwork, animal management etc
As a host, I´ve hosted more than 60 people from all over the world in my project, you can check my host profile: https://www.workaway.info/en/host/491297138693

Currently I work during the year giving yoga, meditation and fitness classes to several villages around my house, and in the summer I rest or travel doing some volunteering.
I like to think of my self as a calm and curious person, I´ve been a yoga teacher and kind of embraced the Dharma for over 10 years now, and I try my best to practice what I preach, while remaining a sensitive and honest human being.
Thank you for your time!

More details about your skills

As a good millennial, I´ve done pretty much everything. I finished my graphic design career in the middle of the 2008 economical crisis so I´ve had to survive doing all sort of jobs. I´ve been a chef, a waiter, teacher and worked for and surrounded by people for the last 10 years until I settled down in the mountains.
Now that I own a land and have my own project I also learned about land management, gardening, tool use, manage people´s energies and abilities, animal care etc.

Age

38

What else ...

I can teach yoga, meditatio, pranayama, breathing techniques from the world of free diving, I can fish (I had a sponsored fishing blog loooong time ago), and I´ve practiced sports my whole life so I can also teach about weightlifting, selfdefense (certified instructor), grappling (instructor), wrestling and general fitness.
I always travel with one or two kettlebells :-)

  Special dietary requirements
  Vegetarian, not strict, I follow mostly a ketogenic diet that works very well for me, so I eat more protein and fat than the average person. That means I ´ll have several eggs a day and bring my own protein shakes.
