Cătălina
I am Cătălina, former ballerina, currently, Yoga/Pilates teacher, Mindfulness and Life Coach and I have always looked for the perfect recipe for a healthier lifestyle and during my journey through life so far I have tried more or less every little of anything so that I can reach my best physical shape but also a level of well-being and happiness as complete as possible. The secret is to always follow the desire that is inside us, our passion, and to find the perfect balance between the work we do and the things we like, so that we can make the most inspired choice for the rest of our lives.
After I observed the effects of physical movement on the body, especially through the practice of Yoga and Pilates, I felt the positive transformation on my physical and mental state, which is why I explored even more and thus discovered that movement can have enormous benefits on the body if it is also combined with mindfulness exercises.
For me, exercise is a source of energy, and when I discovered the Pilates technique about 10 years ago I understood even better how important it is to have a correct posture because this influences our health. There is a harmonious synergy between Yoga and Pilates, Pilates exercises help to align the body, Yoga calms the mind and thus we connect better with ourselves, with those around us, and with nature, through the practice of mindfulness.
The more we live experiences and the more we explore, the more we discover people to inspire us, beautiful stories, and things to motivate us so that we can choose the best in the path of our journey through life.
My goal here is to help as many people as possible to find their own recipe for happiness but also that energy needed to live the dream life that each of us wants.
This is why I founded the Montalive website, a source of inspiration for self-discovery, to meet inspiring people, to create articles and motivational programs and especially to live life-changing experiences.
I am passionate about travel, addicted to movement, eager to meet new people from whom to learn and listen to their life stories. This is my journey, one that I started alongside Roxana, a creative person and lover of beautiful things, in order to reach a "Happy Journey for a Happy Life".

Roxana
My name is Roxana, I was born in Piatra Neamț, I studied in Iași, in Bucharest, in France, and at the moment I live in Versailles. Life is full of unpredictable and I realize how important it is to know how to make choices in life, not to be afraid to go where our heart calls us, to move, to evolve, not to get stuck.
I am a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a lover, a friend, I am a simple person, with better and less good days, with fears and questions, with a thirst for knowledge and self-knowledge, to become the best version of me and to be able to offer those around me the best I can.
The wish to know myself and to look inside me came relatively late. For many years I was busy with living, but in the rhythm imposed most of the time by society, by those around me, without listening to my inner voice, without giving too much importance to my feelings.
Who am I, where do I come from, how have I evolved, what stones do I carry with me, what do I want, what do I have to offer, what role do I have and what is my mission on earth? There are many questions, right? Many, but necessary. The more time I spent on these questions and reflection, the more I discovered about myself, the more I loved myself, made peace with myself, and felt that I was beginning to see the direction. Mine, which suits me and the values I have learned over the years.
The pandemic period we are living in now when I write these lines was even more beneficial for me because it brought me TIME. Time of introspection, time of quality, time when I realized that I want to share with those around me the simple joy of life as I discovered it. I think we need each other. I believe that only together, in solidarity, we will be able to be stronger and we will be able to overcome the obstacles of life. It is not a bad thing to be alone, but it is worrying when you feel alone and when this feeling lasts too long, it paralyzes you and it doesn't let you go further. This site and what we share here is also for all those who do not want to feel alone.
Welcome, everyone! And I tell you this together with Catalina, a generous and incredibly optimistic girl, who opened her arms wide and gave me the opportunity to be with her on this journey that we call "Happy Journey for a Happy Life".
