Practices
Yogasana - Yoga postures
(moving meditation)
If we look at the meaning of the Sanskrit word Asana, as described in the Yoga Sutras of sage Pantanjali it refers to "a seat (position) which is steady and comfortable". A posture that has those qualities is meditative and can lead to self discovery and freedom from stack energy and limiting beliefs.
I offer guidance through fluid vinyasa and yin sequences that are sustainable yet creative and evolving. Passionate about holding space for people to find their own centre, master their breath while finding balance between effort and ease, and use the practice as a tool to achieve their full potential, to cultivate what they want to invite more, or let go, as they practice on the mat and eventually taking that intention off the mat into their day to day.
Pranayama - Breathwork
(Control of Life force through Breathing techniques)
Mindful breathing it's the most accessible and powerful tool to shift and manipulate our energy. In fact can be practiced to energise, bring focus and awareness, balance, and drift into relaxation. It affects the autonomic nervous system, endocrine and digestive to say the least.
I take a very simple yet effective approach combining the ancient yogic wisdom with modern science to give you the techniques that allow to take control of your energy where and when needed. This is a gradual work that requires just a bit of conscious effort for only few minutes a day and can be practiced almost anywhere without needing to wear any particular outfit nor specific setup.

Dhyana - Meditation
(stillness that leads to awareness)
The state of meditation is something we find ourselves in and that we can achieve after sitting in stillness and practice Dharana (concentration) attention to breath, repetition of mantra (set of words or sounds) or visualisation. I have myself been cultivating the art of making space within by watching what thoughts come in and go out with little to no judgement nor attachment and I can't deny it can be a bumpy journey but worth to try.
There are many techniques out there that lead to meditation. I guide the practitioner to find their own centre in the seat of acceptance and equanimity, paying attention to an object (breath, a simple mantra or visualisation) till that doing dissolves itself slowly into presence.
Perhaps difficult however with practice it can help us to respond, instead of reacting, and be more at peace.
