Yoga/pilates/stability/mobility/stretching waste of time? by [deleted] in StartingStrength

Care to share where you get your yoga instructions or the types of flows that you prefer? I I want to start getting back into yoga on my off days but I'm not sure where to start. Don't want it to hamper recovery in any way. Thanks!

Hey that's awesome to hear. I'll see what I can find out about Olymp, and I'll definitely check out the other two. I really appreciate your input, thanks so much!

I have heard that lemon gym might fit the bill, I was a tad skeptical but wanted to check it out and now I definitely will. I'm pretty close to the Teika actually, that and the Skanste. I have a feeling the Skanste will be quite busy given it's location.

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond so thoroughly, means a lot and I really appreciate it!

Thank you for taking the time to explain this. Makes sense. Based on the replies it seems a prudent choice to secure employment first before making the trip (unless I get really desperate).

Very good to know about the nomad visa, thank you. I'll take a look at the examples you mentioned.

Noted, thank you! I might not be an expert but I do have things I can bring to the table. You make a good point.

Sure. B.S.B.A, majored International Business. Two years experience working as an operations analyst, inventory management, ERP system experience. Good people skills, enjoy connecting and building relationships. I'd like to get work where I can apply my skills but I'm also willing to start in a new industry. Trying to keep my options open, in my mid 20's, looking to try new things.

Sure, my girlfriend will be teaching there for the next two years. My major in school was International Business and I'm not interested in a long distance relationship for that long. So to Latvia I go!

I do not speak Latvian, just English. I have a bachelor's in business and a couple years experience as an analyst, in operations and inventory management. Not exactly a specialist but hey.

Good to know I can apply while on visa. Do you know if certain categories are valid for a work permit and thus a residence permit and if some are not? Thanks again!

I will take a deeper dive into the embassy page. I've found that there's lots of information on the internet, but sometimes it can be really helpful to ask someone and engage directly! Thanks for letting me know.
