Namaskar Yoga Information

Yoga Teacher & Doula | Women’s Health & Pregnancy My journey with Hatha Yoga began at the age of 21, through journalism. While researching a story, I discovered a practice that soon became much more than a professional subject — it became a lifelong path of self-knowledge, balance and connection between body, mind and breath. In 2003, I travelled to India as both a journalist and yoga practitioner, producing stories about yoga and Indian culture while deepening my own practice, including time in Rishikesh. After returning to Brazil, I enrolled in a postgraduate programme in Yoga and qualified in Hatha Yoga. I began teaching in 2006 and opened my own yoga studio in 2008. My interest in women’s health and pregnancy led me to specialise in Pregnancy Yoga, including training with Janet Balaskas, and in 2009 I became a doula. In 2013, I returned to India while pregnant myself — a deeply meaningful experience that brought together yoga, birth, motherhood and my own personal journey. Today, Yoga and Doula care are complementary parts of my work. My purpose is to support women, mothers-to-be and mothers with babies in reconnecting with their bodies, breath and inner strength, nurturing a deeper connection with themselves, their babies and their families. For me, yoga is not only something I teach: it is a lifelong practice that I continue to live, study and share Today, I offer Hatha Yoga and Pregnancy Yoga classes, both online and in person, in English and Portuguese, for individuals and groups. I also create personalised meditation practices, tailored to each person’s needs and individual journey. Through yoga, meditation and my experience as a doula, my purpose is to support women in reconnecting with their bodies, breath and inner strength: creating more awareness, balance and connection in everyday life.
