Descrição

Hello, wonderful human being!

I am Yara, a 24-year-old adventurer and a student of life... Sounds poetic but I am not joking, I spend my days, weeks, months, and years learning Iyengar yoga, West African drumming, and dancing, and am currently finishing a degree in holistic nutrition. Many other things bring me happiness and fill my heart with joy such as cooking, connecting with nature, playing with my little siblings, and learning other musical instruments such as piano and guitar.

For the last five years I have been a core part of the Happy Buddha yoga retreat running in the Blue Mountains in Australia, half of that time dedicated to admin and management roles, and the other half to being a chef and nourishing our guests and volunteers with delicious vegetarian meals. Since completing my Yoga Teacher Training in 2020 I also teach classes and have had the honour of facilitating many yoga retreats guiding our guests towards discovering their inner joy :)

As you can tell by now, I like to spend my time on things I am passionate about and on things I would like to learn and skills to gain. Therefore, I find this platform very valuable as a means of connecting me to people and communities who offer opportunities to be a part of projects and places which focus on sustainable and consious living and have a mission in making our world a better place. If so, I'd love to contribute with all my skills and all my heart. As a bonus, I might learn something new :)

Thanks for your time and let's connect!

Mais detalhes sobre meu interesse em idiomas
I love the exchange of languages, and am very interested in advancing my skills in French and perhaps taking up some Spanish language as I'd love to travel there one day! I am happy to provide assistance with English language and even teach some Russian!

Quais são suas habilidades?

Since mid-2019 I have volunteered, worked as a manager, and chef, and lived on a yoga retreat where my skills and experience grew exponentially.

*Yoga Teaching*
*Housekeeping* - I have extensive experience in both performing and overlooking Hotel Housekeeping, be it bathrooms, kitchen, beds or common areas!
*Kitchen-Hand & Cheffing* in a plant-based kitchen. First helping many chefs prepare delicious plant-based meals at Happy Buddha, I have learnt many tricks and tips and then took on some Chef experience myself! I have cooked vegan buffet-style meals for up to 50 people - and, oh my, that was one of the funnest experiences of my life!
*Admin & Guest Services* - of course, having worked in hospitality since the age of 15 I have developed a huge passion for customer service. From answering customer calls and emails to welcoming guests at the reception I have done it all :)
*Volunteer Coordination* - Worked as a volunteer coordinator for over a year which was a magnificent and transforming experience. I have designed a volunteer recruitment program, handbooks, and worked closely with the team to create a meaningful experience for everyone.
*Facilitation* - guiding groups of up to 15 people through activities such as Yoga Nidra, Meditation Talks, Drumming Circles, Ecstatic Dance and Cacao Ceremonies, yoga classes!

I also come from an extensive background as a hospitality worker, waitressing in both small cosy cafes and busy bars

Of course, my intention for any experience to come is to expand my skill set, and keep growing. So as happy as I am to do jobs that I am familiar with, it is all the more fun to learn new - there's so many wonderful things to explore! At the moment particularly I am interested in learning about permaculture, working on the land, and nature building materials.
