​

I grew up in a small family, my mother, 4 aunts, and cousins. I spent my childhood in Bahia, the northeast coast of Brazil. In the 80’s that area was not so developed yet and still had places of complete virgin forests and paradisiac beaches. We lived a simple life and didn’t need much to be happy. I was 17 years old

I was 17 years old when I became interested in yoga and alternative healing modalities. I moved to a big city and I was having problems with sleep. I saw a magazine article “Yoga for Good Sleep” and it got my attention. It came with a CD of guided meditation and yoga Nidra. That was the beginning of my yoga journey, practicing by myself, following the instruction from a magazine and listening to the meditations. It became part of my life ever since.
