Flexible, Funny, Quiet
Where are you from?
I was born in Spain but I have been living in Miami since 2000.
How did yoga come into your life and what has that journey been like for you?
I first got into yoga and then Ayurveda when I was looking for alternative ways to heal myself. Little did I know at that time that 20 years later I was still going be so attached to both practices.
How has yoga changed and what do you feel it creates in your daily life?
Yoga has given me clarity, balance, calmness, deepness, and a complete new view of life. On a daily basis, it continues to reaffirm all these wonderful feelings and connections to my essence.
What is yoga to you?
A way of living and understanding how to live.
How did you feel after your first yoga class and how do you feel this influences or impacts the space you create for your students?
To be honest, I felt terrible as my ego was badly hurt at seeing a bunch of old ladies being so flexible and balanced while I was unable to do anything properly 🙂 On the other hand, it also created a hard-to-explain, new feeling that made me come back the following day. Holding on to that feeling and having it present all the time helps me create a high vibrational space for my clients and students.
Who were you before you started practicing and how have you changed, evolved, and transformed?
I was clueless about what life was and therefore rather unhappy. After I started practicing Yoga and Ayurveda, I started to feel better, eat better, think better, but mostly I started to understand what this beautiful journey called life is.
What has been your biggest struggle and your biggest milestone in the practice, in teaching, and within the yoga community?
Recovering from several illnesses where I had to put my practice on hold for several months.
Why do you practice?
To be in balance.
Why do you teach?
To help others be in balance.
What is the single most defining issue facing the global yoga community today?

Through your own personal journey, what do you feel is your path and offering to the community- local and global?
Nowadays, I mostly practice Ayurveda so I basically try to help other people heal.
