My holistic journey

​

I've been working with Ayurvedic Yoga Massage since 2014 and have been a yoga instructor since 2017. I'm currently immersed in studying the psychology of C.G. Jung and the mythological tarot, and I do consultations and readings.

​

In 2021, I completed the Advanced Studies Program in Yoga Iyengar with Billy Konrad (Senior Yoga Iyengar Teacher) and the Specialization Course in Functional Anatomy of Yoga with Hugo Abecassis (Junior Iyengar Teacher).

​

The seed of yoga and body awareness was planted in me in 1998, when I attended Prof. Marcos Rojo Rodrigues' Hatha Yoga classes offered by CEPEUSP - Centro de Práticas Esportivas da Universidade de São Paulo, in Brazil. But it was in 2009, when I was already living in Lisbon, that I became a regular student at the Lisboa Yoga Loft, where my teacher Clara Rolim introduced me to the world of Master Iyengar and, a few years later, to the work of Billy Konrad.

​

In 2014, I abandoned my career in publishing and began my professional career as an Ayurvedic massage therapist under the guidance of Ma Bodhiguita - a teacher and master from Bahia who immersed herself in India in pursuit of this ancient knowledge and who is dedicated to spreading this wisdom in Brazilian lands.

​

In 2017, I took my first training course to become a yoga teacher with Hugo Abecassis. While teaching, I discovered the immense source of joy that is passing on the teachings learned over the years. 

​

Ever since I started studying Jungian studies, I realized that everything I studied about yoga and ayurveda had a connection with Carl Jung's depth psychology and that this path is my life mission.

Namaste,
