Description
This is Michelle, a social worker and yoga teacher with several years of experience in social support, education, and community-based projects. I’m a curious, open-minded, and deeply human-oriented person, motivated by meaningful exchanges and learning through real-life experiences. Yoga is my stile of life and my path.
I’ve worked mainly with people in vulnerable situations, including individuals with disabilities, children, and young adults, supporting them in their personal, social, and professional development. I value respect, empowerment, and autonomy, and I believe that human connection is the foundation of any positive change.
I enjoy living simply, adapting easily to new environments, and contributing where I’m needed. I’m calm, reliable, and sensitive to group dynamics, but I also know how to take initiative and responsibility when required.
I love traveling as a way to learn from different cultures, ways of living, and perspectives. For me, Workaway is not just about exchanging work for accommodation, but about sharing values, skills, daily life, and is my karma yoga as well.
Hello, I am Deva from India. I am a Yoga teacher. I can conduct customised yoga, meditation and chanting sessions . I have an experience in mushroom farming as well. So I can provide educational workshops related to mushrooms, foraging in the wild, different types-edible, medicinal or poisonous , how to cultivate them , and make your own grow kits. Besides that I have done Basic Mountaineering Course, so I can lead small group of people for trekking and camping.
I love going in nature , free style dance and exploring different cultures.
