While exploring the connection of body and spirit Yoga became the practice that feels more home to me.
Asana, breath and meditation became essencial tools to live more connected to my truth and to my embodied existence.
The physical body is the starting point, in my classes I deliver practices respecting every body as unique, its different structure and mobility are welcomed and honored. I resonate with a functional approach to the Yoga practice while the energetic body is also cherished and celebrated. I encourage the power of the breath, the practice of presence and the potential of intention and attention.
Yoga reveals to me through movement and stillness, and I'm devoted to bring balance with Yin and Yang offerings: different practices to different purposes on different days.
I feel yoga is for everyone and every body! And I feel blessed and grateful to share and hold space to this practice that has been so essential to my own path.

SHARING PRACTICES
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a practice of gentle long holding postures that are meant to target the deeper layers of the body. Yin Yoga aims to lengthen the connective tissue and to stimulate the meridians - the energetic pathways of the physical body - it stimulates Qi or Prana to flow, bringing regeneration of the tissues, restoring the energy and bringing stillness to the mind. It is a meditative practice that cultivates awareness and connection.
Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is a guided practice of deep relaxation where the practitioner will be comfortably laying on Savasava. Floating between the awake and sleeping state, we tap into a lower brain wave that allows us to experience pure awareness and be closer to our subconscious. We can reestablish peace and connection and heal from anxiety states and rest from busy minds. This magical practice stimulates the release of the 'good' hormones into our body.
Vinyasa Flow
Vinyasa Yoga classes are made of a unique sequence of asana (postures) Connecting the breath with movement, it is an active practice to cultivate strength and balance in the body and mind. Flow mindfully using the compass of the breath as if in a dance, expect a practice that will make you feel awaken, embodied and balanced. In all practices we take time to sit in a brief but grounding meditation.
