Only 7 spots left for May Yoga Retreat in Portugal – The best way to deepen your Yoga practice
I have been dedicated to the path of Yoga for over 10 years. What started as a physical practice slowly evolved into a lifelong journey of self-discovery.
While professional certifications provide the foundation, I believe that true teaching comes from deep, personal dedication. For me, Yoga is not just a career, but a lived experience. To honor the traditional roots of this practice, I travel to India every year since 2023 to study and practice directly with my teachers.
This continuous immersion and my own daily self-practice are what allow me to better guide, hold space, and truly understand the journey of my students.
Whether we are practicing in a bright yoga studio in Ericeira, a peaceful Portuguese retreat center, or on a sun-drenched outdoor deck overlooking the Atlantic, my goal is to create a safe, inclusive space for your exploration.
I would describe my teaching style as dynamic, energetic, and thoughtfully guided. I use my soft voice to lead you through the practice, ensuring a calm yet powerful atmosphere. With more than 600 hours of professional training, 10 years of personal practice, and 6 years of teaching experience, I aim to provide a profound space to deepen your yoga practice and guide you on both your inner and outer journey.
In my classes, yoga assists (always with your consent) are a crucial part of my work to thoughtfully guide my students here in Portugal toward better alignment and body awareness. I also love to share insights into Yoga philosophy, helping my students to truly bring the essence of Yoga off the mat and into their daily lives.

Grounded in years of study in India, my teaching style bridges the gap between traditional wisdom and functional movement.
From Hatha-Vinyasa to Yin Yoga & Sound Healing, here is how I guide my students in Portugal and beyond:
Experience fluid, well-structured sequences rooted in Vinyasa Krama & Ashtanga Yoga, designed to build strength and flexibility while syncing every breath with movement.
My classes are perfectly suitable for both yoga beginners and advanced practitioners.
My teaching puts a strong focus on functional anatomy and alignment, helping you to safely deepen your practice while gaining mobility and stability in your postures.
Whether you are just starting or looking to refine your practice, I provide a space where you can progress at your own pace.
Yin Yoga is a meditative style of yoga where we hold floor-based postures for 3–6 minutes.
No prior experience is needed – Yin Yoga is truly for every body.
This restorative practice helps you gain flexibility while observing the mind in stillness and learning the art of surrendering.
It is designed to deeply calm the nervous system, making it the perfect complement to a day of surfing in Ericeira or exploring the rugged Portuguese coast.
Yin Yoga also serves as the ideal balance to more "masculine" or dynamic styles like Hatha-Vinyasa.
I often combine Yin Yoga with Sound Healing, which makes the experience even more soothing and restorative. (Find out more about Sound Healing journeys below).
Known as the "Science of Life," Ayurveda is the sister science of Yoga. Having trained in India, where Ayurveda is a fully integrated medical system recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) for its traditional healing benefits, I bring this ancient wisdom into a modern context.
In my teachings, Yoga and Ayurveda are inseparable. I integrate Ayurvedic guidance into my yoga classes to help you align your practice with the natural cycles of the seasons and your unique individual constitution (Dosha).
Beyond the mat, I offer 1:1 Ayurveda consultations and holistic detox guidance to support your journey toward balance and health in everyday life. (Find more details on my Ayurveda page below).
Sound healing is an ancient 5,000-year-old practice that modern research links to deep stress reduction and improved mental clarity. By using specific frequencies, sound therapy helps shift the brain into a relaxed Theta state, promoting emotional release and physical tension relief.
To complete the sensory experience, I incorporate the vibrations of Tibetan metal bowls from India and other ancient medicine instruments into my sessions. These vibrations work on a cellular level to align your energy and help you reach a state of deep relaxation that goes far beyond the physical mat.
While sound is powerful in a group, the most profound benefits are experienced in a 1:1 Sound Healing session, which I offer for a more personalized and deep energetic alignment.
(Find more information and the link to book your private session below).
I believe that sound is a bridge to the heart. To honor the traditional roots of Yoga and set a sacred tone, I begin every class by chanting a mantra, often accompanied by the Harmonium.
This practice stems from my deep love for Bhakti Yoga, which I studied at a traditional music ashram in India.
Even just 1-2 minutes of chanting helps to shift the energy, quiet the mind, and connect us to a vibration that goes beyond the physical movement.
It is a powerful tool to bring the essence of Yoga into your daily life.

Whether you are living in Ericeira, visiting for a surf trip, or looking for a deep immersive experience, I offer different ways to connect and practice together. Choose the journey that fits your needs:
Currently, I am taking a small break from a fixed weekly schedule to prepare for the upcoming season.
My regular weekly Vinyasa, Yin & Sound classes in Ericeira will be back starting April 2026.
I will be teaching in various beautiful studios around town. To stay updated on the new schedule, locations, and special pop-up classes, the best way is to follow me on Instagram. I post all my weekly updates and last-minute changes there.
Experience a practice fully tailored to your unique body and goals. Private sessions are ideal if you want to work on specific alignment, functional mobility, or if you prefer a quiet, intimate space. I can come to your holiday villa or host you in a private studio space in the Ericeira area.
Includes: Personalized sequencing, hands-on assists (with consent), and Optional Sound Healing.
The ultimate way to deepen your practice.
My retreats are holistic journeys through Yoga, Ayurveda, and Sound Healing in hand-picked Portuguese locations.
