How did I end up on Fuerteventura? 🌊

That's definitely one of the questions I get asked most often. And no wonder: how does a young actress from Warsaw suddenly find herself on an island four thousand kilometres away? And not even one of the famous ones like Tenerife or Gran Canaria that everyone's heard of. No: Fuerteventura.

The story is both simple and a little crazy. I came with a friend on a van trip across Europe: long, open-ended holidays with a final stop on Fuerteventura, where she had friends. And I just stayed.

I knew one thing: I didn't want to be anywhere out of obligation. I was ready to go back to Poland if I needed to. But something kept holding me here, pulling me in stronger each time: people who appeared in my life and opened unexpected doors, the possibility of teaching yoga in a place like nowhere I'd ever known. Classes with the sound of the ocean in the background, on the beach, those endless open landscapes all around giving a feeling of stillness and real freedom. And the quiet, away from the noise of the city, in which I finally started to hear myself again. To see myself.

Step by step, organically, Yoga Amigas began to take shape. You started coming. First a few of you, then more and more, and many of you returning again and again. I'm honestly not sure when it happened, but five years have nearly passed since my adventure with Fuerteventura began and this island has become the heart of our community.

The fact that I travelled so far away, and found so many of you there, is one of the most magical pieces of this whole puzzle. And it still fills me with a deep sense of gratitude.
