About me<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

From an early age, I felt a deep curiosity for the library I inherited from my grandfather, especially the yoga books with photos of asanas. As the years went by, I couldn\u2019t stop reading those books \u2014 I barely understood them, but they kept drawing me in.<\/span><\/p>

It was at the age of 15 that I began taking contemporary dance and movement expression classes, and the awareness awakened by movement together with the breath led me to an inner place \u2014 the one that set my great journey in motion.<\/span><\/p>

At 17, I became vegetarian, and the following year I moved to another city to begin my university studies in Anthropology at UNR in Rosario. That same year I started my Hatha Yoga practice under the guidance of Mohan Lliu, a teacher I followed throughout my eight years in that city. With great generosity, he awakened in me a love for the practice, respect for wisdom and tradition, and lit the light of this path, which I continue to walk to this day. Teachings on Yoga, meditation and Ayurveda were part of his gift.<\/span><\/p>

En el a\u00f1o 2006 fui madre por primera vez y al poco tiempo volv\u00ed a Santa Fe, fue all\u00ed que comenc\u00e9 a buscar sistematizar el conocimiento que llegaba a mi y fue asi que comenc\u00e9 una Formaci\u00f3n en Yoga Integral (2008-2010) y comenc\u00e9 a dar clases de Hatha Yoga por distintos lugares hasta que pude hacerme de un espacio propio al cual amorosamente tuve la posibilidad de compartirlo desde el 2011 hasta el a\u00f1o 2019, tanto con clases regulares de Yoga y masajes abhyanga como para encuentros de meditaci\u00f3n y distintos talleres que all\u00ed se convocaban.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In 2011, seeking to deepen my understanding of Ayurveda (at a time when there was very little information on the subject in Argentina), I completed a training in Abhyanga Ayurvedic massage and discovered an immense tool for self-knowledge and for being of service to others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Cerca del a\u00f1o 2015 el Ashtanga lleg\u00f3 a mi y fue el encuentro con mi pr\u00e1ctica personal. Desde all\u00ed emprendi viajes rel\u00e1mpagos en busca de la posibilidad de ir aprendiendo el m\u00e9todo,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
