VINYASA, YOGA FOR NERVOUS SYSTEM RESET
“I'm passionate about movement and growth. I believe yoga can be an amazing tool to help us navigate life's challenges. My classes are a space for us to explore our yoga practice and slow down, observing what we need in each moment.”
About classes:
> Wake up Vinyasa: We move consciously in the pace of our breath, feeling deeply into our body's sensations while strengthening our minds and opening our hearts through gentle and constant movement.
>Yoga for nervous system reset - A moment to pause, observe, and feel into all the little things that often go by unnoticed. We use pranayama, meditation, and yoga nidra as tools to breathe into a deeper level of consciousness.

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.

KUNDALINI YOGA
“I’ve always been fascinated by our inner world so I dedicated most of my life to exploring it. The different practices I studied and life experiences led me to the understanding that what is at the core of a fulfilled and resilient individual is an unwavering inner shelter built on self love and self trust. I believe that there are many different paths that can lead to this; the ones that impacted me most were the practice of kundalini yoga and psychotherapy. Today I combine both as a therapist and yoga teacher.”
About class:
Kundalini yoga is a distinct type of yoga that combines the use of breathing, postures and sound to help you come back home to yourself and develop your full potential. Also called the yoga of awareness, it is a wonderful and effective technology to feel and be empowered, at peace and radiant. I can only invite you to experience it by yourself as its effects go beyond words.

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.

AROMA HATHA YOGA
“In 2016, I started practicing yoga more seriously. Within a short period of time, I found myself spending 2-3 hours a day in the yoga room, I was so engrossed in it. Since then, I can only say it is truly a 'miracle', as I don't know of anything else that can simultaneously caress your soul, calm your mind, heal your body and keep you in shape. I am in the fortunate position to share this miracle with others on a daily basis. "
About class:
I welcome everyone who has not yet tried yoga and those who are already practicing yogis. I will treat you to oils that suit your feelings and mood, to help you tune into the practice. I will also massage you during the session to help you relax.
I love: Read and sunbathe on the beach. Talking to my daughter's dad, who is my other half. I like to watch the path I'm on and how I change over time.

POWER HATHA YOGA
”I started my journey in yoga naturally through my family because since I was a little girl I saw my mom practicing every morning. When I started practicing yoga I quickly realized that the practice was giving me so much more than I could have ever imagined. The practice began to affect all areas of my life making me stronger not only physically but also internally.”
About class:
Through the development of strength, flexibility, stamina and mobility we prepare our body and mind to develop the practice. Thanks to breathing and concentration of the mind we explore and open up to new horizons of our mind and body.
I love: hiking alone and connecting with nature

VINYASA YOGA
“I’ve been practicing Yoga since I was 15 years old. Yoga has been an important part of my life, my growth and my journey, a practice that has given me more than I could ever describe in words. After years of practicing and studying Hatha Yoga, in the last five years I have dived into the practice and study of Ashtanga and Vinyasa Yoga. As I see it, Yoga can be a powerful technology that can help in the process of creating your own personal imprint in this world.”
About class:
In my classes I follow the Vinyasa system, which means, essentially, that every movement has a prescribed breath attached to it. As moving meditation, in transitions and in (more or less) complex postures (asanas) I always remind the practitioners to come back to the awareness of their breath. In this class we´ll use permanence, movement and transition connected to breathing patterns as tools to gain further awareness over the process of self-creation of our body and mind.
love: reading, writing and move as ways to connect with the creative part of myself

“Yoga brings me a sense of commitment and discipline. Beyond a practice it is a vision and a way of interacting with the world. This ancient tradition is here to help us realize who we truly are through the fire of asanas and the stillness of pranayama and meditation.”
About class:
Hatha literally means “forceful”. The classes have a strong Hatha flow, adaptable to all levels, always incorporating breath work, meditation and themes from the scriptures

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.”

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

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.
