I Am

My name is Dorina,
it means ‘Gift of God’ and I really like it because it reminds me that our whole life is really a Gift.

I was an average little girl with no real talent but much creativity which I used mostly in my vivid dreams and colorful imagination. All the other stuff like music, movement, arts, I either suppressed or forced myself to do as ‘I had to be special in something’. So anytime I didn’t feel a quick breakthrough I quit because I wasn’t good enough to continue.

In my teens I started horse riding which opened a whole new world to me. The farm life itself gave me a huge energy boost, with our team, all the trainings and free time together, and even harvesting alfalfa and cleaning & feeding the horses all day long was really one of the best chapters in my life. Unfortunately as I started university I didn’t have the time anymore…

 During these years I visited my first pole dance class, and surprisingly I felt the same enthusiasm as for riding. Again I wasn’t talented but I enjoyed and started to realize how amazing and strong my body is. I was doing it for a while, first as a hobby and then much much training, pole love, different instructor trainings and finally I started to teach in a studio. You can check my schools & trainers at the bottom of this page.

After a shoulder injury I couldn’t continue pole, but I started to get closer to aerial sports, first silks and after the hoop. I felt no pain, but there were new challenges and I felt much dedicated now for aerial.

 

 

I was already practicing yoga these years, first to feel comfortable in my physical body, then in deeper layers with meditation, silence, self-knowledge works and also many kinds of therapies, like family constellation, aura soma, chakra cleansing, sound bowl & crystal therapy… etc. I also worked on myself, I was cleaning my energetic system, released many blocks and I was trying really hard to clean the past. It’s a long and tough journey once you start it. With all the tears, shouting and crying and laughing and bowing, feeling depressed and without sense of the life, not knowing if it ever stops. Well it never stops but with time there is a change in how you react and process.

After I met my present mentor with whom we started to work with tantric & shamanic traditions and during my therapies she helped me to finally arrive into the Present. One word to say it all: perspicacity. Purely, all what is real.

I realized that no sense if I am this opened to the stuff above but not able to live on the Earth. That the material things are just as important as spirituality. What is that really is, and what is not, that’s jut not. And I don’t have to want it and then it happens.

That’s where I am these days.

That’s where I started to notice what life wants from me.
