We had the good fortune of connecting with Margarita Yagudaev Pinhas and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Margarita, can you share the most important lesson you’ve learned over the course of your career?
I learned that everything is up to me, and I am the only one who can see the vision clearly. Since I have started my transformation process, I have overcome many challenges, and now I am reminded on a daily basis that I have made the right decision. I’ve always known that we can make a change in the work one step at a time, and I prefer to be on the active side by making a change that ultimately bring people together and showing them that all of us can be successful.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My journey started three years ago, when started feeling that there is so much more that I can do with my life and the path that I was thinking of may not be the right one for me. Last year felt stuck this forced me look for a different path. I decided to take Yoga Teaching studies. From the first day I just knew that there was reason I chose it, I just couldn’t explain it. When I started working on my Dharma project for the mandatory 500 hours, I felt lost and under a great deal of pressure. I had no choice but to think outside of the box. I am proud to say that I invented a new type of yoga called Success Yoga and came up with the Success Yoga Center which brings together my strong analytical side and my spiritual side. I love to open up to new experiences, as there is so much that we still don’t know. The center will help bring successful people together and combine it with transformational workshops. My mission is to help people to be successful!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I love San Diego, all places are wonderful. To narrow it down I would choose a nature trail such as Potato Chip and also visiting Coronado Bridge, Balboa park , Old town, Seaport village with USS Midway museum.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I dedicate my gratitude and appreciation to my family for their continuous support and belief in me. All beginnings are hard, but their support encourages me to try harder and makes my success so much sweeter. It is all about where I am now and where I see myself going. It’s not only about reaching the right destination, but also enjoying the ride and helping others achieving the same and making their process fun and easy.
