Make or do? - Exerecise 3 Answers

Meet Lena

Hello! My name is Lena. What do I do for a living? I’m a yoga teacher. Yes, I do yoga for a living! And I love it. I used to be a consultant in a big multinational company but after suffering from great stress for years I thought over my career and made the tough decision of quitting my job. I had done yoga for almost 10 years and during this time I had done different courses. I even went to India for a yoga retreat once. I decided this is what I really liked and what I wanted to do in life. Of course, I don’t make as much money as I used to but I have a lot more free time and I really enjoy what I do.

In the morning I have time to do the cleaning and some days I do some grocery shopping. I mostly work in the afternoon. I have a very big apartment with a very bright living room where I can do my classes. It was my friend who made this suggestion since she loves my house and always said I should take advantage of it. My new lifestyle is quite different. At the beginning I had to make an effort not to spend too much money since my income is not as stable but now I am used to it and I love living a less materialistic life.

I have made lots of new friends in my new job and I am making lots of plans- one of them is opening my own yoga center.

I do a lot of exercise other than yoga. I do tennis once a week and go jogging a few times a week. Living this healthier live and practicing yoga every day is doing me a lot of good. People say I look younger every year!
