How to survive immigration and become a super-girl

'19.09.2017'

My immigration began in early childhood, because my parents lived in the constant hope of moving to another country. They made different plans, devised schemes for how to do this, even divorced, following the plan. I myself tried so many times to run away that I do not even remember ... I didn’t have a feeling at home: I was constantly packing my bags.

In 17 years I flew out of the parental home, feeling all the delights of independent living. I moved dozens of times, changing small towns, hard work, where I had to work for days, killing my health. I did not understand what I was doing here, and when strangers approached me, they also said “is it not your thing, what have you forgotten here?”. But then I could not even think about some of my desires, about what I want to do. When to think about it, if today you have nothing to eat?

There were opportunities for which I, without thinking and not being able, grabbed. I remember how I took a test job on photo retouching. I have never done this before; there was very little time to do it. And after a day of work on my feet without sleep. I remember, I was shaking from fatigue, and from a few liters of coffee. In the end, I got this job.

I met my husband very early, we met in the first year of college, I was 15 years old. At 20, we got married.
I began to live early in adult life.

When the opportunity to move from the Crimea to Kiev, we were ready to do it on the same day. I remember how we went to Kiev on the side shelf of the reserved seat. On the top were things, on the bottom, the two of us tried to fit.

I adore Kiev - it was love at first sight, I could not breathe it until the last. We lived there for 6 years and decided to move to America. We thought about different options, were ready to go without anything and apply for political asylum. As in the film “Terminal”: we are stuck at the airport, and our country no longer exists.

All my thoughts were about only one thing. I let this idea of ​​immigration pass through myself so much, I was already there, although physically I was still in Kiev.

Each time they met with friends, they had only one question - "Well, when already?" But not everything is as fast as desired.

The worst thing is to live on hold, never do it! We must live here and now.

We worked for a couple of years to get a 1 visa for people with extraordinary abilities.

It's like being doused with cold water, and you stand in the middle of the street as if naked, and you have nothing. Just the two of us - and nothing else. All things were distributed, only 2 suitcases remained, and that was all. My whole life fit into one suitcase, with which I still flew to America.

I look out the window at the Golden Gate, and the thought in my head - "I will do myself, no matter what it costs me!".

Coming off the ladder, I was prepared for the fact that we will face difficulties, and this is just the beginning. You can't rent a house, and it doesn't matter if you have money or not, because you need a piece of paper that you don't have. And much more. Every day is like a roller coaster.

Only after months of 5 we could breathe easy. A job appeared, we rented a house, I was finally able to do my own projects.

Wonderful people met on my way. And after one such meeting the project was born. Supergirls sf.

But first I met Sasha. At first we just trained together. We came up with our format Yogaout Is a mixture of functional training and yoga. This is the perfect combination, as functional training will help you tone yourself up and get a little stamina and stronger, and yoga will give you flexibility and balance. We started filming workouts in various unusual corners of San Francisco.

At the first meeting, we began to share our plans, thoughts, ideas with each other, and the majority coincided by chance.

Sasha somehow resorts to me: “I came up with a name, and what if we are called Supergirls? '.

From this moment we have determined our direction. We started calling friends to train with us. As I remember the first training today, there were four of us, Sasha, Dasha and Anya.

Dasha has become an integral part of our team, our little genius. Then Alice joined us, she brought a little holiday into our sports atmosphere, reminded us that sometimes we need to have fun. Then came the incredible Sveta, who structures and inspires us every Monday by email. And Marina is our real super-girl who does not let us forget that we are girls.

With each new person in our team new ideas came, new directions and visions were formed. For six months, we held dozens of activities for girls, traveled. And today, every girl can join us!

Every Sunday at 10 in the morning in Dolores Park, San Francisco, we do a workout. Yogaout: more info here.

We recently opened a running club and run every Thursday at the Embardero all together: see link.

I am happy that I can do what I really like. I began to implement my ideas and projects that have long lurked in me.

It turned out unrealistically cool project that unites and reveals girls, says each that she supergirl, but she still does not know about it.
