Kimia Dejkam

• I am a Persian curious soul. I was born Tehran. Studied architecture. Couldn't find the passion in it. Moved to America, Boston to study psychology, lived and studied there for a year. Then I had to quit the university because I was an international student and tuition and everything was really expensive and literally could not afford it. Stayed in the US until the end of my Visa go just explore the country. 

Meanwhile my family seperated, so basically I didn't have a place to live. However I have family in Canada. So the only option was to move there and live with them for a year. But I was on tourist Visa therefore could not work or study.

Then I only could come back to Iran and live with my 75 years old aunt. Not the best situation so I got a job at a Kindergarten as an English teacher. Worked there for a year. Then changed jobs and worked in a big construction company as the head office manager. 

However, I felt trapped at the office job so quit that and started my yoga journey just for self experience at the beginning. After a while my instructor actually pushed me to do my yog teacher training. So I did 500 hours yoga teacher training programs in India.

After India I travelled to Srilanka, started exploring. Got a job in a boutique hotel as their yoga teacher. But I had to leave after a while because it was not the best environment for me. Very isolated on top of ths mountain. I belong to the ocean and I have to keep on moving and interacting with new people. I have a huge passion for exploring and traveling and meet new people and interact. 

Then I went to a vipassana meditation retreat. And after I was just doing drop in yoga classes in hotels and consulting and helping them to grow more towards health and wellness, eco friendliness. Basically anything I could help with. 

And that is basically it. I came back to Iran to sort out some visas for other countries that I want to travel. And work..
