Description

Hello, Ciao,

Since 2019, I have been working in Poland as a yoga teacher and massage therapist. I offer Kobido facial massage, full-body fascial massage, and soon I will also provide foot reflexology treatments. I run my own business, teaching online and in fitness clubs, as well as organizing yoga retreats.

I love Italy, and in my free time I study Italian (currently at a B1 level). I would like to continue working in my profession; however, after many years of working in Poland, I am looking for a place where I could join a team for a few weeks, seasonal work —preferably in a paid position—and continue gaining experience in my field.

I am into:
--> practicing yoga,
--> bicycling, hitting a gym,
--> taking care of animals specially donkeys,
--> spending time outside, doing gardening, being outside among the nature,
--> reading books,

I did workaway in Lombardia, Sicily and Lazio (Italy) helping in hostels, yoga centers and doing the house keeping.

If that sound good, Im happy to talk about the cooperation.

I spark english (fluent) and italian (livello B1.)

More details about your skills

--> In 2017 I finished 200 hours yoga teaching course in Kerala (India) so Im certified yoga teacher. I know what Im doing on the mat. I have experience in VINJASA YOGA FLOW classes (90 minutes) and hatha yoga in english. Im yogi so I live following yogic jamas and nijamas. I would be happy to join a yogic place where I can help as an yoga assistance or teacher, where I can practise yoga and maybe learn how to run a yoga retreat.

Ciao Magda, Ti rispondo a ciò che hai detto. Sicuramente l’inverno in Sardegna non è come l’estate ma lo hai scelto tu di venire a Dicembre . Le condizioni sono tutte ben spiegate quando hai deciso di venire; c’è scritto anche che c’è bisogno di grande spirito di adattabilità. Purtroppo anche nella mia cucina non ho acqua calda per via del calcare … read more e anche io uso l’acqua fredda, non è mai stato un problema per me ma capisco che possa esserlo per chi è abituato ad averla . Sicuramente siete capitati nella settimana sbagliata, appena andati via c’è stato un grande sole per giorni ed una temperatura di 20 gradi durante il giorno . C’è ben spiegato che la doccia è solare ed esterna ma visto che siamo in inverno vi ho concesso di entrare in casa mia per fare una doccia calda; ci tengo a precisare che non bussavate neanche alla porta di casa ma entravate senza chiedere neanche, forse sarebbe stato più educato farlo non credi? Il lavoro finiva per le 17.30 ( perché in inverno fa buio a quest’ora) se voi vi fermavate a fare altro dopo il lavoro non è un mio problema, ho due bimbi piccoli ed ho chiesto di organizzarvi per venire a fare la doccia in casa; io mi alzo alle 5.30 la mattina quindi se me lo concedi vado a letto presto quando posso quindi le 9.30 pm per fare una doccia mi sembra tardi; mi sembra il minimo avvisare ed organizzarsi per fare la doccia. Comunque questo non è più un problema perché Giuseppe ha costruito una doccia grande bellissima con un flusso d’acqua meglio di quello che abbiamo a casa proprio per i volontari. Per quanto riguarda il cibo è tutto ben specificato, ma nonostante questo ti ho dato molte volte il pranzo e la cena fatto in casa da noi oltre che il pranzo di Natale, vi ho dato patate, mele, lattuga, the per la colazione, pasta, fagioli, oltre che zucchero sale olio; non avendo tempo mia madre ha cucinato per voi un buonissimo pranzo che avete consumato nella zona ristorante, non ho ricevuto neanche un grazie per questo ed ho dovuto ripulire la tavola e il forno lasciato tutto sporco. Vi ho pregato anche di fare bene la raccolta differenziata dell’immondizia cosa che non avete fatto ed ho dovuto separare tutto io dalle vostre buste, non è stato carino, oltre che ho dovuto pulire tutta la roulotte lasciata in pessime condizioni, così come il bagno non è stato pulito. In ogni caso io mando un messaggio a tutti prima di arrivare specificando tutto quanto, se avevi bisogno di altro basic food potevi chiederlo, me lo avete chiesto il 26 dicembre dove tutti i negozi sono chiusi ma vi avevo dato il giorno prima tante cose, infatti nella tua roulotte è avanzato anche molto cibo, pane pasta etc In ogni caso anche questo era specificato, se volevate del cibo specifico dovevate procurarvelo, il the alla menta come mi avete richiesto qui ad olmedo non esiste :) Specifico anche che noi siamo vegani quindi burro formaggio o altri topping non li mangiamo . Mi stai scrivendo che hai chiesto pane e mele e the, ma perché io ho trovato 2 mele, del pane e del english the ancora nella tua roulotte ? Infatti ve lo avevo dato due giorni prima, non capisco. Non capisco neanche perché dici che eri frustrata che non potevi fare una doccia quando era sempre consentito, ho solo chiesto di avvisarmi prima e non entrare in casa senza neanche che è chiedere o bussare. Sono venuta a prenderti ad Alghero si, ed ho anche fatto una lavatrice per te anche se nel regolamento era scritto che potevate andare in una lavanderia, l’ho fatto con piacere. È la prima volta che mi capita che tutti e 4 i volontari sono andati via, ma sono stata felice perché purtroppo non avevo un aiuto concreto ma una continua richiesta di cose; Mi spiace anche che non hai speso una parola per quello che è il reale scopo del rifugio, gli animali. Piccola nota, il girono che ha piovuto non avete voluto lavorare ma purtroppo gli animali vanno sempre curati, per noi sono la nostra priorità ! Quindi ho lasciato i bimbi e sono andata a fare il lavoro che avreste dovuto fare voi. Sicuramente ci miglioreremo per rendere sempre tutto migliore. Buona fortuna

When I chose this place for volunteering, I knew there would be no luxuries, because I would be living in a camper van.

What was it actually like?

In December, the weather in Sardinia is very different from summer. I imagine that in summer it’s can different here. I wouldn't invite volunteers to live in a caravan in the winter time.

I was supposed to stay longer in the ecovillage, but I got ill and I decided to go back home ( I am from Poland and my hometown is not that far from Pommritz). That was my decision to go, but I had the support from Dominik and from other volunteers and I know I could stay in my bed as long as it was needed. It was great to know that and thank … read more

We had two weeks of fun as well as hard work, we shared great food, interesting conversations, films, music , yoga, we shared life but with respect for privacy as well.

I spent 4 weeks working in the hostel that is located close to San Marco Squere. I had the opportunity to explore Venice and meet people (the hostel's guestes) all around the word. I was cleaning and helping with guests if there was a need. 5 hours/5 days per week. Food was provided. I stayed in a flat for volunteers. From that place I had to take … read more
