Guest BIO:

KC:

I am currently a General Virtual Assistant and a Member Onboarding Support team member at Yogahealer. I have been with the organization for almost a year and I am enjoying every single day of learning and new experiences. I love how my role allows me to build a connection and strong relationship not only within the team but with everyone from the community.

I live in the Philippines and it is my biggest dream to travel all around Asia and the world. I enjoy my time alone by reading books about and mangas, watching anime, or listening to music. I play a lot of video games too!

Lori Cusi:

I am Lori Cusi and I have been working in the call center industry in the Philippines for the last 17 years. Being in this part of the world, my whole life working is spent mostly on the night or graveyard shift. The industry supports the EU or the US region explaining why the shift hours. It is one of the highest paying if not the highest paying job available in the market, hence why most of us opt to join these organizations. There are hundreds of call centers, so the competition is high benefitting the employees with their packages and benefits.

I worked in different areas in the business and handled a variety of roles and most of it is people and operations management and human resources, whether the line of business is Financial, travel, wellness, and telecommunications.

My career being an employee ended when I joined Yogahealer last year as its Operations manager and there I see things differently that yes I can still earn to support my family but I can thrive my body by owning my time, and allocate it to what are my priorities. Working for YH is like an eye-opener that there is more life than just spending my 13-15 hours a day, preparing and traveling back and forth to work, working at the four corners of my office. These were all replaced by me sending and picking my kids to school, preparing their breakfast and tuck them to bed. And this brings me joy, pride, and happiness than those recognition I got from my 17 years of working

Guest BIO:

Hi, my name is Alexandra, and ever since I was a little girl, I have been passionate about helping people to reconnect with their nature to understand that we all have the right to be happy and fulfilled.

I’m a yoga teacher since 2002, an Ayurvedic Lifestyle consultant for 13 years and in 2016 my life changed 180 degrees when I became a Yoga Health Coach.

Guest BIO: 

Isabel Castro is an Ayurvedic Health Practitioner and Yoga Health Coach, originally from California. After getting a bachelor’s in Liberal Studies-Elementary Education, she moved to her parents’ homeland, Costa Rica. Living there on a farm, she reconnected with both her family’s roots and with nature’s rhythms. The adventure then invited her to teach at an alternative high school in New Zealand, and to work on more Permaculture farms.

As she sought more health for the land, she struggled to find that balance within her own body. Her curiosity to get to the root of her own health issues led her to the holistic sciences of Ayurveda and Yoga. They finally drew a fuller picture of her health and dis-ease. They also gave her simple tools to embody more balance and vitality.

Through surviving an abusive relationship, she also experienced first-hand the many stresses women and marginalized groups face. She believes that true healing happens in a relationship, as it allows members to feel a connection through both vulnerability and triumphs. In her groups, she blends art, Ayurveda, Yoga, and habit science. Together, these support digestion of mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual experiences.

She’s passionate about empowering others to take charge of their health through increased awareness, and commonsense tools. Her path is a windy one and she’s grateful for the adventures. Outside of work, you may find her dancing, playing music, Improvising, painting, catching a frisbee, bike commuting, or bumping into someone she knows in downtown Bellingham, WA, where she now lives. Connect with Isabel on her website and facebook.
