My Classes:
INTEGRAL YOGA
“I started my yoga journey as a teenager. As a university student I was struggling to focus and quiet my mind, that I started taking more frequent yoga classes, and being more passionate about the yoga practice. This led me to do my first 250 hours yoga teacher training in Integral yoga. Soon after I started teaching regular classes in Portuguese and in English. The passion keeps growing as a teacher to take yoga to others who might need it as much as I did when I started ".
About class:
Complete practice of breathing exercises (pranayama), moving the body with asanas to create strength, flexibility, balance with awareness, incorporating mudras and bandhas, and ending the class with relaxation and sometimes mantra. I love to bring to my classes incorporating new elements of the practice. The students leave the class relaxed but feel the body worked as well.

My Classes:
YIN YOGA
“Movement, nature and discovery. I believe that yoga is a beautiful way to discover out inner self, calming our mind to open our hearts. To live, nourish and connect with each others, to cultivate self-love and see our life as a miracle. Practicing is always challenging, fulfilling and different, but the more I practice the more I love it. And to share this feeling is something that really makes me happy.”
About class:
Combining fluid and gentle movements of Vinyasa and Yin Yoga, my classes can be little energetic first but also very relaxing. I mix natural flows, somatic exercises, deep stretches & openers. Some of them can be more challenging, others just to surrender, feel and be present.I use essential oils and small massage to deepen in the savasana.

My Classes:
VINYASA SOUND FLOW
“I always loved to find different ways of leading people through my Physiotherapy sessions. Every person and their bodies are unique and sometimes need different approaches to reconnect with themselves, so i kept exploring and learning more about the human body and its emotional connections.
Within Yoga i discovered a powerful and holistic tool which also led me to a deeper connection to myself. Yoga gives me a better understanding of the connection between the human body and mind.
I like to use the background knowledge as a Physiotherapist & Pilates instructor to combine it with Vinyasa & Hatha elements.”
About class:
During the class we reconnect to our emotions led by meaningful music flowing from one pose to the next in sync with our breath. After repeating the same sequence multiple times to get into the rhythm, we finally "dance" our choreographed flow to the beat of the music.

My Classes:
HATHA YOGA
“My experience with Yoga started 12 years ago when I discovered the physical benefits of Hatha Yoga, which made me want to go deeper into exploring also from an energetic and spiritual viewpoint. This also helped me greatly in dealing with my own anxiety and fears. Later on, I developed my own teaching practice with students and young professionals in both Sweden and Portugal and the journey has been developing since then.:)”
About class:
Class involves a therapeutic and playful immersion in Hatha and Yin Yoga with focus on both dynamic and gentle poses as well as various breathing exercises. We aim to work with both our limitations and possibilities and explore our bodies and breath in a safe space, while resetting our nervous system. Also, you might benefit from a different approach to Yoga, one that is more focused on your own personal journey, listening more to your body and becoming aware of possible patterns. Through mindful practices, the aim is to offer a safe space in which you can perhaps return back home to your true Self with curiosity and compassion.
I love: reading, dancing, exploring nature with my dog, traveling and learning new languages

PRENTAL YOGA
“Yoga, specially yogic philosophy and Ayurveda, gave me answers on many questions that arose during my life. My personal practice started with meditation and breath work and continued to exploring slow practice of Yin, followed by Hatha Yoga and Vinyasa. That led me to start sharing yoga with students and teach. As the life goes on my yoga practice and education follow my life situation so currently I am very interested in Ayurveda and Prenatal Yoga.”
