About my approach to Yoga

In my mind, a Yoga class should foster the following: 

• sensory awareness - this means reconnecting with a felt sense of what's actually happening in the body
• regulation of the nervous system - so we feel comfortable to be with what arises and the sensations in the body
• resilience - to help us take the effects of the practice into daily life
• effortlessness in movement - as the antidote to modern lifestyle stresses
• vitality - promoting general health
• restoration of relation - allowing us to navigate our environment with more ease
• agency - to help us show up in the world
• sustainability - only a regular and doable practice will create change

​For me, Yoga is a never-ending exploration of the body and mind, and a way of discovering the beauty of life. As we bring the awareness to what is happening inside and where we are in the present moment, the body is encouraged to release where it is holding.

The Scaravelli inspired approach is an invitation to play with gravity, free the breath and find space in the body to allow it to move to its full potential and strength. That way the body can start to work deeper and move more freely into yoga postures, exploring how these openings and connections can help us un-do habitual (and potentially painful) holding patterns. Then we can embark on a journey of restoration and transformation.

"I learned a ton and wish I was around to have a few more sessions with you. You were right - working slow doesn't mean working less. I loved your approach, it put so much into perspective. Thank you again for the great session." ~ Igor Fernandes

In Lisbon, my yoga home is Little Yoga Space where you can join me for class several times per week.
