I'm a focused and forward-thinking professional with a long background studying body movement with 21 years of experience in Yoga also, Pilates, Postural Exercises, and Functional Movement. In the age of 8, I started ballet modern, contemporary and capoeira classes, when in 1999, my mother presented the Yoga to me, since then I have been training different styles of Yoga, such as Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, and Iyengar Yoga. In 2005 during her BSc Physical Education and Sport Science, I came across Pilates for the first time, at Rodrigo Mayer's Studio, Romana Kryzanowska's disciple. For me, Pilates improved my understanding of the movement and added tools to help the people develop in a better way and effective approach that frees the body and its movement prioritizing the individuality. In 2011, I received my first Pilates certified from Power Pilates International and later qualify as a Polestar Pilates Matwork teacher.
Since then, I have been teaching Pilates in different Studios, Gyms and Clinic, working with individuals of diverse ages with different needs. As a practitioner and professional of the movement, passionate about what I do, I truly believes in the transformative power through the movement and also, I understand the vast responsibilities that I have and wherefore, I'm always looking for self-development, improving my comprehension about body movement, adopting new techniques and different approaches, such as Somatic movement, Anatomy Trains, Antigym, Frankling Method, Myofascial Release and Chinese Medicine, constantly aiming the client's goals.
