Magical international connections and friendships are flourishing with our HYBRID class, particularly through the popular “30/30” 30 Day challenge program. For example several months ago Nia Blue Belt Instructor Andi Szabó who lives in Transylvania, Romania, invited Kriszta Máthé to accompany her on the 30/30 challenge (when a participant signs up by the 28th of the month they get to invite someone for free!).
Kriszta was new to the group and new to Helen and Soma Ranch. As the month progressed we noticed how Kriszta was attending everyday, dancing with us live from Romania. The local ladies in Montgomery, TX, attending the class at the Soma Studio loved seeing her and all the other fabulous movers and groovers from around the world.
Mid month Helen shared “Kriszta, you should get an award for attending so often. What if we add a fun incentive; come at least 15 minutes live everyday for the 30 day challenge and you get to come for the next month free!”
“Kriszta,
you should get an award for your stela attendance!
What if we add a fun incentive;
come live (at least 15 mins) everyday
and receive the next 30/30 challenge for free!”
Kriszta was up for the challenge and succeeded in attending 30 days in a row! She came back for free the following month and then was “hooked”, Kriszta now attends every month and enjoys how the daily connection and classes help her feel connected and motivated.
When Kriszta discovered Helen would be in Budapest offering a special community class she decided to surprise Helen and travel a very long journey on the train from Romania to Hungary, with Andi Szabó, to attend the 1 hour class.
“yes! wonderful to be a surprise yet, as Kriszta walked towards me I was like “well of course!” the experience would not have been the same without her LOL”
Helen loved the surprise and opportunity to meet and dance with Kriszta. Of all the comments shared the one that made Helen giggle the most was when Kriszta shared “Turn to the donkeys! – that was the first not said sentence…”. Helen, instead of saying turn/move left, turn/move right, says move towards the door for right and move to the donkeys left (it’s in the direction of the stables and animals), lovely and very amusing at how Kriszta notices these little details that become part of the class experience.
“
I am proud to be here. We are part of each other’s everyday life.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Helen!
What you do is indescribable and priceless. You are a beautiful and strong woman. I knew this even before we met in person. But your smile and hug, well, will accompany me for the rest of my life.”
“I missed your voice for a second. I am use to hearing your thoughts, your instructions, your explanations of what we are moving in our body and soul during our dance. Then I realized, that I can definitely hear you in my soul. I smiled. Turn to the donkeys! – that was the first not said sentence…”
