 Rica
has recently graduated from Rishikesh Yog Peeth (In Northern India), a
registered yoga school (RYS) with Yoga Alliance. She first discovered
yoga while living in Pakistan and it was love at first sight. Her love
of Yoga has taken her to Bali and Rishikesh; which is known as the
birthplace of yoga. She has attained her certification on Hatha yoga,
which describes any of th ephysical practices of yoga. Apart from her
RYS 200 certification from Rishikesh, she has also a 200 hour
certification from Bali. She was born in Bangladesh, currently living
in Jakarta with her Norwegian husband. She's been doing yoga in the
Indian Cultural center in Jakarta for the past two years. In her prior
life she has worked in corporate banking and telecom in both corporate
sales and marketing for multinational companies. After years of
over-working in the demanding corporate world (and hardly having any
time for physical activities), Rica decided to make a career break and
explore world: that's when she discovered the magic and power of yoga.
Apart from her passion for yoga she loves traveling, hiking, reading and
to visit different cultures and meet new people. Rica has been active
member of AWA since May 2011.
Rica's view on yoga: "Yoga is the best possible exercise there
is for improving suppleness. Regular yoga practice benefits all aspects
of your being, strengthening your body, renewing your energy, calming
your mind and brightening your spirit. Remember, yoga is a process, and
there are no deadlines: You have a lifetime to improve your strength and
flexibility.
Newcomers Coffee Morning
The
Newcomers' Coffee is for all new arrivals and serves as an informal
orientation to the “ins and outs” of living in Jakarta. This is a venue
for meeting other new arrivals to Jakarta and learning more about your
new community. Colliers International, along with several AWA Board
members, address issues that are unique to the first-timer living in
Jakarta. Tips on hiring staff, finding a house, cleaning fruits and
vegetables, and keeping your family safe in Indonesia are among the
topics covered. AWA’s exclusive caterer, The Upper Crust, provides sweet
and savory treats. There is no cost to attend this meeting, and it is
open to everyone. This is a great way to socialize and to learn about
activities at AWA, as well as to make new friends in a relaxed, casual
environment. Newcomer's Coffee morning is held every first Tuesday of
each month. Please RSVP to Bev Dube at
