Descripción

Sally
Hi! I'm Sally. I'm from Australia, currently travelling through Asia. I am a happy person with a sunny disposition, and I like to live in the moment. I am quick learner, and I try to make the most of any opportunity that presents itself to me.

I love yoga and live a yogic lifestyle, following the eightfold path in my every day life. I have around 500hrs of yoga teacher training in asana, pranayama and meditation and most recently in yoga therapy. I have a strong home practice and love to teach. I'm also a sound healer (I have my own bowls that I bring with me) and a massage therapist.

On the business side of things, I have helped upskill massage therapists through continued training in massage therapy and running a massage spa, and am currently helping to set up retreat centres in Asia, including writing business plans, marketing analyses and proposals. I am learning more and more about website design and social media.

Manawa
I am from Sri Lanka, but I have lived throughout Asia, including in Korea, Thailand and China. My passion is Tao and I have spent the past 30 years teaching Qigong, Taichi and Tao philosophy. I am also a yoga teacher and pranic healer. I am skilled in martial arts and I love to teach. My other skills include Chinese massage (meridian, organ etc) and landscaping.

I love to travel and to immerse myself into the community and culture of the country I am visiting. I learn quickly and can fluently speak multiple languages including Sinhalese, Thai, Korean and English. I am friendly and laugh often.

I am very creative and love to help you to organise your open spaces - gardens, landscaping - and to make places beautiful.

My passions are teaching Qigong, Taichi and Tao philosophy, and I bring a calm and peaceful energy with me wherever I am.

Together
We are a couple who love to travel, and to share and teach the philosophies that we have learnt. We have knowledge and skills that suit most people looking for inner peace and healing. We both believe that as facilitators of these practices we open a pathway for you to heal yourself, or to find your own way towards inner happiness and peace.

We have a huge body of experience and work well together. We could be useful for anyone looking for a couple to help with retreat spaces, teaching (yoga/ tao/ Taichi/ qigong/ sound healing) or caretaking.

We are open minded and respectful, and always curious.We are currently looking for Workaway opportunities that will allow us to stay in one place for a month or two at a time, to really build community rather than just passing through.

Que habilidades tienes?

Sally
I qualified as a yoga teacher in 2018 and have around 500 hours of yoga teacher training in asana, pranayama and meditation. I have taught consistently for the past 8 years. My main styles are hatha, vinyasa, yin and restorative. I am also a qualified (2021) specialised pranayama and meditation teacher, and a level 1 yoga therapist as additional training on top of my yoga teacher training. I am currently studying level 2 yoga therapy online through a school in India.

I have worked as a Polynesian style body worker (KaHuna, Lomi Lomi) for 2 years as a full time gig. I can give both therapeutic and relaxation massage, and have specialised (therapeutically) in working with the hips to help ease lower back and hip/ leg pain. I am trained in traditional Indonesian (Pijat) massage as well.

I qualified as a personal trainer in 2015, and worked in this until 2017, when I returned to a full time job.

I love working with people to help them to find health and comfort in their bodies, and this has become a passion of mine.

I am a self starter and highly motivated, and am aware and cognisant of the challenges and rewards of starting a small business, something I can help with if you're thinking about doing this too.

I'm an early to bed, early to rise kind of person, and live a quiet and clean lifestyle.

Manawa

Tao and Tao philosophy
Taichi
Qigong
Martial arts
Yoga

I am also a skilled bodyworker - I do a range of massage styles including meridian massage, organ massage and traditional Chinese massage.

Algo más...

Sally: I am a clean living person. I don't smoke, take drugs or drink alcohol. I try to look after my body.
Manawa: I enjoy a cigarette every now and again.

I love to surf, scuba dive and to snow ski, and would be keen to take on anything that would give me time in places where I can take part in these hobbies. I have my open water diving ticket.
