Welcome home to yourself
Offering yoga practices tailored to your uniqueness, with dedication, support and compassion I feel honored to be guiding people on the yoga mat under the lens of functional yoga. I have specialized in Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra and Yoga Therapy for Women´s Health.
I am endlessly curious about how body, energy, mind, emotions, and psyche interweave and manifest. The yoga practice becomes a laboratory of embodiment — a space to explore subtle sensations, journey inward, and come home to your body.
I am dedicated to helping women fully embody their practice, tuning into their cycles and natural energies. This approach celebrates a feminine way of practicing yoga — empowering women to move with awareness and presence.
Yoga is not separate from the world we live in. My intention is to practice consciously and politically — creating space for service, for equity, and for voices that must be heard. Yoga is an ancient tecnology for collective wellbeing and responsibility is part of the practice.

Therapeutic Yoga

SHARING PRACTICES
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a practice of gentle and long permanence postures. Like slipping into calm waters, this practice invites you to slow down, surrender, and journey inward. Rooted in the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yin Yoga works with Qi, the vital energy, through the meridian system framework. Soft, intentional movements awaken and nourish the fascia — the body’s vast, three-dimensional energetic network — helping energy flow and tensions release. It is a beautiful meditation with your body, cultivates connection and restores energetic balance.
Yoga Nidrā
Yoga Nidrā is a guided deep relaxation beyond the physical body. Comfortably laying on Savasava, floating between the awake and sleeping state, we tap into a lower brain wave that allows us to experience the bliss of Nidra state. Yoga nidra is like a homecoming, a space of healing rest, where we drop the stories from the mind and connect with a profound and ancient wisdom, with stilness and peace.
Vinyasa Flow
Vinyasa Flow is a practice that mindfully evolves into a flow of movement and breath; and descends into a restorative end of yin-inspired postures to relax. A sequence takes you on an exploration of a family of asanas or towards a peak posture, always with an invitation to revisit the alignment of your body under the lens of functional yoga. Journey through standing, seated, and inverted or restful postures — sometimes incorporating the support of props such as the wall or yoga belts. Expect a thoughtful balance of effort and ease, movement and stillness.
