From a Homemaker to a Fitness Coach Lavanya shares her journey | DFC Quantum Ep06

Hey guys, welcome back to our YouTube channel and most important, the playlist Game Changers. And in Game Changers, we have a very, very special story of a Quantum member who had already got a lot of results as a DFC member, but she joined Quantum and on day one she told me that she didn't know why she came to Quantum. And today she's a very accomplished health and fitness coach, and she is following her passion. She's not only following her passion, but she's also earning money today. So over to Lavanya. Lavanya, first and foremost, deep gratitude to you for coming in and inspiring other people that yes, you can— if you can do it, they can do it too. So Lavanya, tell me, where are you from?

Hi, Dee. First of all, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. And I am from Bangalore. We are— after marriage, we are staying in Bangalore. My native is from Andhra. So yeah.

So when you came to DFC, I think you lost a lot of weight. Can you tell our viewers before anything, how much weight did you come— how much weight did you lose before coming?

Yeah, I lost around 13 kgs within a span of 6 months. I feel proud by saying that within a span of 6 months, I lost 13 kgs. I'm happy with that. After that, I'm looking for something. So you gave me something really big, that is Quantum. Fantastic.

So when you came to Quantum, I recall on the first day you told me that I don't even know why I'm here in Quantum. And we had the one-to-one chat, and you also said that my passion is dance.

Yes.

And I told you something. So why don't you start teaching dance? How do you feel? How did you feel at that time?

I'm not sure, and I'm not at all confident. My confidence levels are very low because I never ever did this before. I am a housewife. I'm basically from a village, so this is really big for me. I love to do, but I, I have a lot of fears in me so that can I do it? Can I show them? Is it okay with me? Is it possible for me? And all those questions are popping in mind. And somehow you lifted me and I listen to you, whatever you say, I listen to you. There is some connection so that I said, okay, I'll give a try. So that's how happened. When you said dance is my passion, but when you said I'm like little bit hesitating. Anyone will join? First of all, if I teach dance like that, but when I go and start it, people are coming up like this. So many people when I started, all the small, small kids, and I like, okay, can I manage them? It's hard to manage 2 kids at home. Is it possible for me to manage and all? So I thought, okay, I'll give you a chance. So I came to know that I have a lot of patience after teaching, starting the dance classes. And I used to do whatever you say to do, like meditations, affirmations, and everything. As I'm doing it, every week, the kids used to flow. They used to come in. One time it is like I thought, is it okay? Can I manage in this hall? I need to take a big hall to teach dance. So like that it happened.

So Lavanya, earning money was not on your agenda at all. You only wanted to do something, okay? Because you wanted to build up your confidence and you were not sure whether you will be able to do it. So when we got started, and I remember initial days, you used to send me a choreography. Is this okay? Is this okay? And we got on a couple of calls.

Yeah.

And after that, all these students who have been coming to you, in your building, you started teaching classes. So I want you to tell our viewers, how did you go and approach the building first? In the building? Because this is going to boost up people's confidence.

Yes. I started this and I have no confidence at all. I don't know what to do also. Yes, as you suggested, I went to the apartment society and I flexies and everything, the posters and everything, I get it done. Few people know me in the apartment. So I choreographed 2 songs before. There is an event in the apartment, I choreographed few songs. So people know me, some of— few of them, not much, few of them. So when I posted all these and, uh, everything, then by talk, uh, so yeah, with mouth, uh, everyone like that, okay, okay, she is good, she is capable of teaching, uh, kids, okay, we can trust her. And slowly started sending kids So after one week, so when I'm like okay with the kids and all, the mothers also saw it and they used to go and tell to other ones and they used to come and ask. So like that it happened. Uh, seriously, I at that time also I don't have the confidence. Okay, am I doing it right or not? I, uh, whether the choreography is good, am I going— adults we can say that we can jump and everything we can do. For kids Coming to kids, it used to be subtle, and we need to do slow steps and all. They should enjoy it and all. I don't know whether I can do it or not. That's why I used to send you the choreography. Is it good, or I need to slow it down, or what is— is the song good or not? And everything, it counts, right? So in that way, you guided me like anything. So slowly, slowly, slowly So I got into that. Now it's going on.

Navanya, from there, so these children that you pay, that, that you teach, is it free or you charge them money?

Yeah, I charge them money.

Okay, so money was not the— was not on the agenda. The agenda was first and foremost to do something for yourself and to help children become a little more flexible and fit and enjoy their journey, right?

Yeah, money is not, not at all my agenda. Because I, I'm a housewife, I give first preference to my family, my kids. Yes, my kids, my family. So one, one day my son came and asked me, all the moms are doing something, you are sitting at home, you are not doing some anything at all. Then I realized, okay, Now kids are growing up, they are looking into me something. So I need to do something to get them satisfied. And for me also, as the kids are growing up, I have a little bit of time. So I can take care of that. So in that way, I started this, but nothing should be done free. So I need to— I'm giving my efforts. So I need to get it back some in some way. So I thought, okay, I'll charge.

Very nice. And from there, and you started getting a lot of inquiries from people who were not in your building. And so you started online sessions. Tell us more about your online sessions.

So yeah, that is one level of thing happened. Next level is online. So I thought, okay, online will go like a blast, I thought. But yeah, I As, as we do, we'll get to know how the things are going on without think— simply thinking and sitting it down. So I started online class. Yes, a few people came in and it is happening, but suddenly, uh, I used to post Instagram Reels, dance reels and everything because they should know my talent, right? So as I said, I came from village background. My parents are like no to dance at all. So that too posting in social media, they can't take— they didn't take it much. So my mother is like, uh, she's like, okay, stop it. At now you should stop it. People are thinking something bad, uh, to you, so please stop it. I don't want any, uh, explanations or nothing. Stop it. I'm like, I'm so disappointed, and I, I, I'm really sad that I, I stopped it because I don't want, uh, my parents to be, uh, to hurt them. Yeah, so I stopped it, uh, but I feel really bad at that time. Okay, somehow some chances will come into my life. I thought, okay, not this, something will come into life as I go on. So when I'm doing online sessions, my confidence levels increased. So it is easy to teach in front of us, but it is difficult when we go to the digital online form. Yes, especially with kids. So at that time, I learned so much Regarding this dance steps, music and all.

How do you feel today after how many months of work have you been putting in?

It's almost 2 years. 2 years.

And 2 years Quantum member or 3 years?

This is the 3rd year of Quantum Mind. Wow. Wow. So I happily say that every year of Quantum, I can see my confidence and my level is growing up, my chart is growing up. So if I look back, Lavanya, who don't know anything, now it is like, yes, Lavanya, she's a coach, she's a dancer. And yeah, now I'm like, yes, Lavanya is something up now.

So Lavanya, I remember recently you sent me a award that you got from your building. Yes, tell us about that.

Uh, that is like, uh, so after this dance and all, the community people who are there, they used to come to me and ask me, can you please take care of the event? Because it is so difficult to teach kids. So no one will used to come. A lot of people are there, they know dance and everything, but no one used to come forward to teach kids because they need so much of patience, time, and everything. So they believed me and came to me, can you please go ahead and teach kids? So like that I started. But last month, uh, in October, when Dussehra happened, the Danya night happened in our— it is a big event. So they came and, can you please give me— give us some output so that we'll enjoy the event? So I thought, okay, I'll give it. And I did 5 groups of dances. Wow. So all— there are 8 dances total overall. In that, 5 is I only choreographed, I only train them. Everything is by with me only. So with that, for that one, they gave an appreciation certificate for me. So I'm so happy. This is not regarding the money and all. Yes. So this is like, I'm happy and I'm enjoying it. My life is okay. This is life I I'm enjoying. I know that, okay, this is how I'm enjoying more than money and all. So if something is coming on me, some appreciations and all, I'm really happy that. And I always thankful to God that he sent you to me.

Lavanya, how— see, a lot of people want to become fitness coaches. A lot of people want to— more than fitness coaches, they also want to earn money. But in your case, I've noticed that you did not focus on money. Money followed you as you were giving service and as you were working towards your own mission. One is mission of getting yourself fit, and in the process you are making other people fit. So on that note, Lavanya, I want you to give a very powerful message as a health and fitness coach to our viewers, of where you were— overweight, shy, not confident— today you're a health and fitness coach and earning money and working towards a mission. So I want you to give that strong message to people.

Uh, yeah, I, in my case, I have nothing much more imagined, or I, I don't think that I should earn this much, that much at all. I love to do my passion, what it is. So what is the message means from my point of view? I think if you are— if you like to enjoy your life, go with your passion. Wow! So don't think that, uh, no, I need to do this only, uh, however it is hard. If we push hardly to get something that we are not interested also. But I love to do what is more interested to me and more passionate to me, rather than sitting and doing whatever I don't like. Yes, yes, yes.

So by doing this, you were not only able to look after them, but you're also able to get time for your own family. Because yes, your family was important. So ladies and gentlemen, I want those of you are watching this and those of you feel that I am shy, I'm not good enough, please watch this video again. Because Lavanya came from a very conservative home and from a very shy— as a very shy person she came out, she joined the Quantum membership though she had lost all her weight. So she didn't come to lose weight, she lost it, she was already transformed. But here after joining Quantum, she transformed her mind, build up her confidence levels, and today this is her third third year of Quantum. So I want all of you to know that if Lavanya can do this, you can do it too. So on that note, I want to thank you, Lavanya, for coming out and sharing your story. Deep gratitude to you. And for those of you who are watching, especially if you're a DFC member, just make sure that at least once in your lifetime you become a Quantum member, because that is going to be huge, a huge transformation for you. And if you're not a member of the DFC community, then click on the link in the description box, and I can't wait to see you in my free masterclass.
