My Yoga journey started in 2012 while studying Zen Shiatsu in Barcelona. After a few years of working as a massage therapist, fascinated from the energetic body and the oriental view, I wanted to deepen my knowledge and understand how to apply it in my massage treatments.

This brought me to Yoga as I was looking for something that could help me to be clean, aligned and strong to be a better vehicle for my clients.

Yoga become a lifestyle. In 2017 I did my first teacher training in Hatha-Vinyasa Yoga, and few months later in Yin Yoga. After about 2 years of teaching I joined and assisted Tanya Popovich in her Hatha-Vinyasa advanced teacher training program. After exploring different styles and studying with different teachers around the world, I was introduced to the Ashtanga Vinyasa method from the much appreciated Prem and Radha Carlisi, while living in Indonesia. Ashtanga become my main personal practice and a big part of my life. I was fortunate to practice and train with amazing and inspiring teachers along my way like Kristina Karitinou in Greece and, moved from the curiosity in source of new inspirations and experiences to be able to travel to Mysuru, India and learn from brilliant Ajay Kumar.

I love to bring the principles of Zen Shiatsu in my Yoga classes, specially while guiding Yin practices. As well as in my body treatments where I intuitively combine deep tissue techniques while focusing on pressure points and meridian lines according to the needs of the clients.
