What you’re about to read might seem quite eclectic, but that’s who I am: a scientific mind with a heart in search of profound spiritual questions. I’m a bit of a nerd, but also very athletic, a dreamer, and yet grounded with a passion for tangible results.

My First Teacher: The Ocean
My journey to yoga didn’t follow the usual path. From a young age, my first contact with breathwork and meditation came unconsciously through the water. Freediving, which has been a part of my life since childhood, taught me how to connect with my breath and quiet my mind long before I knew the formal practices of pranayama and yoga. This early, unconscious introduction to yogic principles became my foundation. Today, I am a freediving assistant instructor, currently working toward full certification with  SSI and Molchanovs, constantly refining my abilities as a water woman.

Yoga, Academia & Advocacy:
It wasn’t until the age of 18 that I formally began studying yoga, and it quickly became a powerful complement to my academic pursuits. As I traveled to India and other parts of the world to deepen my studies, I was balancing a parallel rigorous academic education. I hold a BA in Modern Languages and MA in Cultural Studies and Policy. My intellectual curiosity and passion for social justice led me to pursue a career in academia, studying Cultural and Gender Studies, where I became a university research assistant and Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) advocate. I travelled to the USA and Spain to study sexuality education, gender policy and human rights. My work in this field focused on promoting social sustainability and cultural awareness.

The Shift:
As my personal yoga practice deepened, I began to feel an increasing disconnect between the academic world and my spiritual seeking, which was growing along with the call to share and teach. The latter is what I longed to fully embrace. I was struggling to keep both things active at the same time, and my days felt endless and tiring, between studying yoga, teaching, working at University and freelance work. I left academia to follow my true calling—teaching yoga, being an entrepreneur, and founding a school close to the ocean, where I could practice freediving as well. I moved to the Canary Islands and opened a Surf School and Yoga Studio with my partner.

Today:
I balance my roles as a yoga teacher, entrepreneur, and D&I consultant, continuing to foster wellness in both individual and corporate spheres. I have registered my school with Yoga Alliance, I organize retreats and provide training and continuing education for teachers. My academic background continues to shape how I approach teaching—with a deep appreciation for critical thinking and a foundation of rigor, ensuring that everything I share is rooted in knowledge and sincerity.
