Description
Howdy, there.
I'm Mackenzie, an ESL/EFL teacher and budding Yoga instructor from Austin, TX, USA.
I started this year in Central America, teaching English and learning Spanish. I now find myself in Asia after completing a 200-hr Yoga Teacher Training course in Rishikesh, India. The travels continue... all motivated by gaining the skills and experience necessary to bring the joys and benefits of Yoga to students and educators around the world.
Thanks to Workaway, I have met many inspiring folks and have made many incredible memories thus far. I'm grateful for these opportunites to offer my services in exchange for your generous hospitality. Already looking forward to the knowledge we'll exchange and the experiences we'll share and cherish.
Namaste, amigos.
