Hello, I'm Lena Shur.
Then it hit me - I did everything "right", as everybody around me thought, but it wasn't my path. I wanted to do something meaningful. So, on October 1, 2009, I quit my "dream" job to become a yoga teacher. My family, friends, and coworkers thought I was crazy.
My Story
After over 10 years of career in a high-tech company, I've achieved everything I could dream of when graduating from university. I had a great, very well-paid job, company car, health insurance, and all the benefits. But I've sat in my office and felt miserable. Nobody, including myself, could understand what I'm going through - I was at the peak of my corporate carrier at a dream job, managing people and multi-million projects. But every morning, I didn't want to get out of bed and go to the office.
Then it hit me - I did everything "right", as everybody around me thought, but it wasn't my path. I wanted to do something meaningful. So, on October 1, 2009, I quit my "dream" job to become a yoga teacher. My family, friends, and coworkers thought I was crazy.
I did countless yoga teaching courses. I taught classes in gyms for pennies. I ran between schools and kindergartens with a pile of mats and a bag full of kid's yoga equipment. At schools, I would teach a class in front of 20 children, most of whom didn't really want to be there. I was always busy marketing in an attempt to acquire more and more customers. But nothing really caught on. I was always busy, struggled, learned a lot, tried all kinds of things for kids ... But I couldn't say I made a living from teaching yoga.
But more importantly, I couldn't feel that I was able to touch the souls of the children with yoga.
I started teaching kids FLY yoga exercises that I learned. I came up with two lessons based on the few dozen exercises I learned.
But what do I do next? I can't teach the same exercises all the time. Kids need something new every time. Otherwise, it becomes boring.
So I started searching for more FLY yoga exercises. I started inventing my own poses, tried them on my kids, and then added to the lessons.
I saw what worked and what didn't work. What makes kids excited and what exercise most kids can't do. Slowly, I started to build lesson plans, one after another. I had once been in a situation where I'd struggle to come up with class plans and ideas for what to do with the kids in the next class. Now, I had detailed lesson plans for a year-round FLYoga Kids program that all children are excited about. Almost everyone who tries a FLYoga Kids class enrolls and continues to come week after week for at least a year.
This program not only allowed me to fill 10 weekly classes of FLY Yoga for Kids year after year and earn a living from it. But it also gives me an incredible sense of self-fulfillment. I'm grateful that I can reach so many souls, make small changes in children's lives, empower them, and pass on essential yoga values!
