Yoga

Profile

Alongside my academic career, I am a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) and sound healing practitioner. My current offerings include Vinyasa Flow and Hatha yoga classes.

My teaching is rooted in functional anatomy and evidence-based science, adapting movement to everyone’s unique body. My classes develop strength, flexibility, mobility, and body awareness to support long-term physical and mental well-being.

My personal yoga practice has been deeply rooted in the Ashtanga Vinyasa system. In recent years, my practice has expanded to include other styles of yoga and yoga-based body movement. My focus has shifted from an alignment-based approach to a more functional perspective.

I am also passioned about music and sound and completed several Sound Healing Certifications, mostly with Cosmic Gong (levels 1 & 2). 

Classes

I currently teach regular Vinyasa Flow classes at the University of Algarve (Gambelas Campus), every Monday and Wednesday from 18:00 to 19:00. Classes open to all levels. Contact me for more info.
