Yoga has been a part of Catarina’s life for about 12 years after moving to London to follow the dream of working in the magic of the movies as a Visual Effects artist. The sedentary lifestyle demanded by the nature of the business started aggravating the chronic back pain and tension caused by the long hours working on the computer. She began practising yoga for the physical side of it, to help her overcome the chronic back pain.
Catarina realized the healing benefits not only in the body but also in the mind. She loves the challenge and the movement in yoga, but more importantly, the philosophy and meditative side which has impacted her life both on and off the mat.

Believing that the key to life is balance, Catarina teaches dynamic classes with continuous movement and slow-paced yoga, like Yin Yoga where the aim is to find stillness. The challenge will be there in both, allowing modifications to push yourself further in a safe place. She considers sound and music an important aspect that she incorporates in her classes,  making you embark on a real journey. By merging the mindful flow of yoga with the deep vibrations of sound healing, she has seen how these two practices together can be truly magical and can create a profound sense of well-being.

Catarina completed over 500 hours of training, from London to India, she travelled far to meet her teachers.  She has trained in Ashtanga Vinyasa, Rocket Yoga, Mandala Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, Chakras and Meridian theory, Pregnancy Yoga, Post Natal Yoga and Sound Healing.
