My Story: Feeling Better Through Yoga

In 2014, I discovered yoga, a practice that transformed my life. At the time, I was going through a tough period, dealing with a lot of anxiety, panic attacks, and insomnia. I was looking for a way to regain a sense of well-being and manage my daily life.

One evening, I decided to follow a yoga session on YouTube, and in just 15 minutes, I felt the benefits of movement, conscious breathing, and meditation. My anxious thoughts disappeared, and that night, I slept peacefully. For almost a year, I practiced yoga every evening, and little by little, I started to feel better, improving both my sleep quality and daily life.

However, I felt the need to understand what was happening within me during these sessions. I then delved into research on the brain, neuroscience, the benefits of breathing, meditation, as well as anatomy and biomechanics. The more I deepened my research, the more I fell in love with yoga as a whole: a practice that combines movement, anatomy, and mind.

The Science of Movement and Yoga

What fascinated me was discovering the impact of yoga on the brain and body. Yoga is not just a series of postures; in addition to the traditional and ritualistic aspects, it is a science of movement that takes into account biomechanics, neuroscience, and how our body and mind are part of the same entity. Through this practice, I learned to manage my stress and emotions, reconnect, and better handle the challenges of daily life.

My Training at Alba Yoga

In 2024, after a long search for a program that combines the science of movement, anatomy, and the philosophy of yoga, I graduated from the Alba Yoga Academy. Under the guidance of Celest Perreira and Hannah Barrett, two internationally recognized figures, I deepened my understanding of the connections between yoga, anatomy, and neuroscience to create original, dynamic sequences with specific goals.

Today, I am convinced that everyone can benefit from yoga, whether you run, lift weights, do Pilates, or do nothing at all. Yoga is there as a friend, helping us improve our body, health, well-being, as well as managing our emotions and living in society.
