I am thrilled to bring you an enlightening conversation with my local yoga teacher and master sound healer, Helen Selmeczy, from THE YOGINI. Over the years, I've discovered a profound love for yoga and the transformative benefits it offers, from breathwork and meditation to inner peace and serenity. Yoga has become a sacred sanctuary for me, a place where I release the burdens I carry.
Despite my initial scepticism about yoga that persisted for years, my dearest friend and fellow Balkan sister, Franka Batinic, encouraged me to overcome my doubts and misconceptions. I'm truly grateful that I did. While I'm far from being a professional, I'm eager to keep learning and adapting yoga to suit both myself and my family.
In this conversation, Helen and I delve into the myriad advantages of yoga practice. We discuss the reasons why some people may feel intimidated by yoga poses and stretches, why sitting in silence can be a challenge, and what might hold us back from embracing this practice wholeheartedly. We touch upon childhood experiences and emotions and explore how we can gradually rebuild our self-confidence, one breath at a time.
During our chat, I open up about a memorable incident that occurred during one of my yoga classes and how my past experiences as a child refugee have influenced my meditation practice. Helen shares her own real-life battles with depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety, highlighting the profound truth that everything we need for healing is already within us. She presents a beautifully simple and practical approach that can benefit us all and those around us.
Remember, community is a powerful form of medicine, and I'm excited to share this meaningful conversation with you. If you'd like to connect with Helen, you can find all the relevant links at the top.

Jako sam uzbuđena što vam donosim ovo inspirirajuće razgovor s mojom lokalnom učiteljicom joge i majstoricom zvukovnog iscjeljivanja, Helen Selmeczy iz THE YOGINI. Kroz godine, otkrila sam duboku ljubav prema jogi i transformacijske prednosti koje nudi, od vježbi disanja i meditacije do unutarnjeg mira i spokoja. Joga je postala sveto utočište za mene, mjesto gdje oslobađam terete koje nosim.
Unatoč mojoj početnoj skepsi prema jogi koja me prate godinama, moja najbolja prijateljica i sestra s Balkana, Franka Batinic, potaknula me da premostim svoje sumnje i zablude. Za to sam doista zahvalna. Iako daleko sam od toga da budem profesionalac, žudim za nastavkom učenja i prilagodbom joge sebi i svojoj obitelji.
U ovom razgovoru, Helen i ja duboko zaranjamo u brojne prednosti prakticiranja joge. Razgovaramo o razlozima zbog kojih se neki ljudi mogu osjećati nesigurno u vezi joga pozicija i istezanja, zašto sjedenje u tišini može biti izazov, te što nas može kočiti u potpunom omogućavanju ove prakse. Dotaknemo se djetinjstva i emocija i istražujemo kako postepeno obnoviti vlastito samopouzdanje, udah po udah.
Tijekom našeg razgovora, otvaram se o nezaboravnom događaju koji se dogodio tijekom jednog od mojih satova joge i kako su me moja prošla iskustva kao izbjeglice iz djetinjstva utjecala na moju praksu meditacije. Helen dijeli vlastite stvarne borbe s depresijom, bipolarnim poremećajem i anksioznošću, ističući duboku istinu da sve što nam je potrebno za iscjeljenje već je unutar nas. Ona predstavlja divno jednostavan i praktičan pristup koji može koristiti svima nama i onima oko nas.
Zapamtite, zajednica je moćan oblik lijeka, i veselim se što mogu podijeliti ovaj značajan razgovor s vama. Ako želite ostvariti kontakt s Helen, sve relevantne veze možete pronaći na vrhu.
