Personal training
In 2006 I was very glad to start to share my experience in physical activities and sport combined with my knowledge from university and master degrees to my clients, to motivate them and to push them to fulfil their goals.
I trained with them, I cried with them, I failed and I succeeded with them but the most important thing was the special relation that I have built with each one, so we became friends.
Group classes
The beginning in teaching group classes was hard. Listening the music and doing the workout in the same time with choreography, was something new.
After the first step it’s started to become fun. With music playing and everyone else working with you, it can feel more like a party than a workout. This is especially true for cycling and aerobic classes, which were built around high-energy music and a social atmosphere
My yogic adventure...
After I discovered yoga, everything changed. This old system which connect body&mind start's to be more and more present in my life. I start to do workshops all over the world, to become certified by Yoga Alliance, to serch and discover new styles.
