Discover how Rini, a yoga teacher, transitioned from a 17-year corporate career to pursuing her passion for yoga. Despite her shyness, Rini began teaching yoga eight months ago, starting with private classes that boosted her confidence. She then transitioned to subbing classes, seizing opportunities, and gradually building her teaching career.

Rini shares her journey of discovering yoga in 2017 in Singapore, initially as a physical practice that positively transformed her reactions and life balance, especially during COVID-19. Balancing her corporate job and yoga teaching, Rini managed to expand her classes from once a week to three times a week.

She emphasizes the importance of preparation and self-care, customizing sequences for her students and incorporating inspirations from other teachers. Rini also brings a personal touch to her classes by playing the guitar and considering singing after class, though she is mindful of setting expectations.

The conversation highlights Rini's growth and the gradual approach to transitioning careers. She advises new teachers to start small, reach out to studio owners, sub classes, and be patient in the process. Rini encourages listeners to take leaps, notice opportunities, and balance passion with financial stability, sharing her own healing journey of stepping out of her comfort zone.
