73: Take Your Sweet Time with Kremena Yordanova

I’m grateful to bring this lovely conversation with Kremena Yordanova, who lives her passions in many worlds including yoga, entrepreneurship and the corporate world. I’m inspired by how she looks at the subtleties of patterns in everyday life as ways to know herself and support her students.This conversation is a transmission of energy and medicine straight from Kremena Yordanova and her ancestors: do it like you CHOSE it, let your life unfold and take your sweet time, and how she chose her own path despite pressures to be a full-time yoga teacher, the herbs of Bulgaria.As a self-taught entrepreneur with a full-time corporate career, Kremena is thoroughly aware of the demands of modern life. Kremena was motivated to contact more like-minded yoga teachers to join her YorYoga collective and set on a mission to share the practice of self-healing. Since founding YorYoga seven years ago, Kremena has organized more than 15 international Yoga, Food and Wine retreats, multiple workshops and has taught countless Yoga classes.She fuses the philosophy of yoga with modern day life as the basis of her teachings. Her realistic, grounded and contemporary approach has made her a sought-after teacher in Amsterdam, with weekly practices in leading studios, as well as boutique workshops at the W Hotel Amsterdam. Links, Article, and ResourcesAll Show Notes for This Episode📝https://candicewu.com/kremena Podcast Homepage🎧 https://candicewu.com/podcastNewsletter & Embody Community💌 https://candicewu.com/embody-communityPatreon – Your Support Means So Much!💝 https://candicewu.com/patreonCandice Wu Page on Facebook👫 https://facebook.com/EmbodyYourNatureFollow Candice on Instagram📷 https://instagram.com/EmbodyYourNature Sponsored by My Be in Beauty Workshop in Rochester, MII’d like to invite you to a healing workshop and experience in Michigan, my home state.This workshop is about Being in Beauty - Beauty touches everything under the sun that feels important, sacred, awe-inspiring, or sweet to you.
