Blog Challenge Day 6

If you could have any job in the world what would it be, and why?

One word answer, a Yoga instructor at my own Yoga retreat camp.

What a loaded question. There are so many different professions out there that have entered my mind as I stop to ponder this question.
Then I got thinking, I don’t really want a dream job. I feel that by having a job you’re still working for somebody else you’re still under somebody else’s control. My thinking may be a little bit too deep for this question, but, that is where my mind took me!

Ok, I will get back to the question!

If I could have a dream job anywhere, I would be a yoga instructor at a wellness retreat. Somewhere warm with lots of greenery and lots of peaceful people! I love the benefits of yoga and what it’s brought to my life. I should state that I’ve never been on a yoga retreat yet. (Bucket list item though) (( watch for my day 7 blog for more on that!! lol)) Ohhhhh the suspense I just created in you RIGHT!! lol, The ultimate recharge to get away for a week or ten days and find yourself at a retreat where you are pampered. To have no stress in the world and just focus on YOU! To be a part of helping someone have an affordable place to go to recharge the body, mind, and soul. A dream come true, to be able to continue helping people who are stressed and frazzled, those who really need that retreat. Sound like you? Lol, I’m sure many are shaking their heads saying, yes please!!

To be able to see the transformation as the days go on, to see the stress just fall away from these people. To bring a sort of rebirth, a transformation into a new person is how I picture my retreat.

Now, If I was to take that question just one step further I would actually design, and bring to reality, a retreat like that. I would do that retreat somewhere in Canada to start with. I would love to have it funded so that the everyday person who is struggling with some sort of mental illness would have the opportunity to take part. I want them to just get away and regroup, to really work on their own person, their own mind, to have some actual ME time for them.
So many of these Retreats that I see are so expensive and they’re really just out of reach for the average person. Not everyone has the financial ability to get away to a retreat like this. I would have a retreat that was reasonably easy to access for anybody who is looking for that type of recharge, which has funding available to help people to get there.

The retreat would include daily yoga sessions, massages, mindfulness training opportunities, personal coaches for nutrition, physical training, mental training, water sports, one on one counseling. There would be top notch healthy meals and snacks provided with the focus being on nourishing the body and mind.
