Yoga is not just a practice—it’s a way of life.
All you need to do is set aside a little time... I’ll guide you through the rest. This journey will leave you feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected—both to yourself and the world around you.

Let’s go beyond what you see on social media.
Yoga is far more than poses—it is an ancient, holistic science rooted in deep wisdom. First mentioned in the sacred Rig Veda, Yoga means Yuj—to unite. It’s a union of body, mind, breath, and spirit.

In this personalized online class, you’ll receive my full attention. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, the session will be tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll explore:

Grounding asanas (postures)
Cleansing kriyas
Healing mudras
Powerful pranayama (breathwork)
Stillness through meditation
You'll leave each session feeling refreshed, relaxed, and energized—ready to carry that peace into your daily life.

🧘‍♂️ I work with international students, professionals, and individuals across the globe—online and in business organisations. My teaching draws from diverse traditions including Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Himalayan, and Iyengar yoga.

So, take a deep breath...
Don’t overthink it. Just book your spot—and let the transformation begin.

See you on the mat.
Namaste. 🙏

📌It doesn't always take two for things to work...
To begin to connect, assimilate and experiment with new KNOWLEDGE, the most IMPORTANT thing is the body, the attitude, perseverance and a great pinch of confidence!
I always like to approach the codes of different dance disciplines, based on structures that work on the physical, rhythmic, and creative aspects.
There is an idea that Tango is difficult to learn, and of course if we approach it with that label, it will be that way. Starting from the main concept of tango, WALKING, something that we all do most of the time, dancing tTANGO is within everyone's reach.🤗
Another very important point is the way to assimilate and understand it 😉😅
❤️‍🔥What will the classes be like, you ask?
I'll tell you a little bit, we are going to develop the structure in the work of weight changes, the step, projection of the walk, the pivot, understanding the kinesphere individually and as a couple translated into the hug, the turns and the spiral torso to understand the momentum in various exercises, the eights so famous in tango, the basic step and universal exit, walks with the concept of lanes and much more from various sequences that familiarize you with the technical needs to be able to perform the steps without leaving aside the dynamics, pulse, accent and compas of the tango. Everything will be raised in the background in a more organic way. It's not just about learning individual steps, and then...what do we do 🧐? It is not the form that should take the leading role, but the way in which you express that form.
We will also let your creative and playful side be part of the process, through a tool that I consider very valuable, which is improvisation 👌 since it allows you to find your own style and recognize your strengths and weaknesses to continue growing in your passion for dance.
With all these tools, entering the world of more complex sequences and why not, creating your own, will be one more step and not an impossible challenge to achieve.🤩
Don't forget that the steps that are known today and a large part of the sequences emerged from a restless and creative mind, which explored synonymous with IMPROVISE❗️
Let's go through the process together and hold each other in a hug.

Sound healing, also known as energy medicine, is recognized as one of the fastest holistic healing techniques, using specific sound vibrations to promote relaxation, balance energy, and support both physical and mental wellness. Techniques such as sound baths, chakra healing, and full body sound healing therapy are used to help address various conditions, including stress, anxiety, pain, and even some chronic diseases.

Sound healing operates on the principle of resonance and vibrational medicine, where specific frequencies interact with the body on a cellular and energetic level to restore harmony. The body, being largely made of water, conducts these vibrations effectively, allowing sound to impact tissues deeply and trigger physiological responses such as endorphin release and pain relief.
Techniques and Applications
Sound Bath: Involves immersion in the soothing vibrations of instruments like singing bowls and gongs, inducing a deep state of relaxation and meditation.

Chakra Healing: Targets the body’s energy centers by using sounds matched to each chakra frequency, aiding in emotional release and energy flow.

Therapy for Diseases: Some studies and practitioners report benefits of sound healing for conditions like high blood pressure, insomnia, chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD, and even support through cancer and behavioral disorders.

Full Body Healing: Promotes overall wellness by balancing mental, physical, and spiritual health, leaving individuals feeling refreshed and at peace.

Benefits of Sound Healing
Reduces stress, anxiety, tension, and fatigue.

Improves mental clarity, emotional well-being, and sleep quality.

Enhances blood circulation, lowers blood pressure, and supports natural healing.

Balances chakras, promotes deep relaxation, and fosters a spiritual sense of connection.

Sound healing is generally considered safe for most people, but those with certain sound sensitivities, epilepsy, or pregnancy should consult with practitioners before sessions.

Discover the joy of hands-on cooking! In this workshop, you'll learn the techniques behind truly artisanal dough products: from mixing and kneading the dough to rolling it out, shaping, and baking fresh pizza.

We use simple, high-quality ingredients, and I'll explain how small variations in flour, moisture, or resting time affect the final result.

The lesson is designed for anyone who loves cooking and wants to learn something new—whether you're a complete beginner or already have kitchen experience. At the end, you'll take home not only delicious pizza, but also the knowledge to recreate it entirely on your own.

Awaken the Shakti within, by enlivening the body that we so easily neglect.
The sensual is a powerful force that can lay dormant when not moved and nurtured. This class combines ancient forms of dance such as belly dance and the sensual ceremony of the body, to find and ignite the deity within.
Belly dance was birthed to honour and alleviate childbirth and period pains, so is deeply rooted in the divine feminine. An energy so essential for the world and its life force.
Sensual ceremony of the body invites a presence to be with the body, activating a deep listening, to re-imagine the relationship of the holy trinity within, mind, body and soul.
I welcome you with warmth and presence.
