ABOUT ME

I am a teacher of yoga, dance, aerials, and acrobatics. I LOVE traveling and experiencing cultures from a local’s perspective. I am usually very outgoing, but at times can be very introverted as well. (Life is all about balance, right?) I am currently striving to become location independent with my work so that I can live anywhere I want in the world. I enjoy authentic, kind, and honest people. And animals. Especially dogs. ♥

PHILOSOPHY

🌱 I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of failing or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance, to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom, and that which comes to me a blossom goes on as fruit. 🌱 Dawna Markova
