Who am I

My name is Alessandra, and my relationship with yoga hasn't always been easy.

My first encounter with yoga dates back to college. I decided to try a class, more out of curiosity than conviction.

I still remember the feeling: endless, slow, almost boring. I wondered how all those people could call it "a life-changing practice."

To me, at the time, it was just a series of strange poses and too much silence.

Then I started traveling.

Australia, backpacking, and freedom. Everyone seemed a bit hippyish to me, always talking about energy, vibrations, and chakras. I was just looking for a good coffee and a little adventure.

In New Zealand, I found a roommate who was an incurable yoga enthusiast.

Every morning: "Are you coming to yoga with me?" "No, thanks."

Until one day, she practically dragged me to a Bikram yoga class.

A sauna. Literally.

Sweat, music, strength, endurance.

And for the first time, I thought: okay, I like this.

Maybe it wasn't the "authentic yoga" everyone was talking about, but it was what I needed back then: to vent, to free myself, to rediscover my strength.

From there, I began to open up.

In Thailand, I took a Hatha yoga teacher training and a Vipassana practice in a Buddhist temple.

Days of silence, discipline, and deep listening.

In South America, I explored shamanic practices, learning that spirituality can also take many forms.

In Fuerteventura, I found consistency: the island wind, the sea, the slow pace that brought me back to the mat every day.

Then came Barcelona, ​​and with it, Covid.

The deserted city, the silence in the streets, life suspended.

And me, at home, with so much time and a huge need to find an answer about everything that was happening.

So I decided to train as a yoga teacher.

It wasn't a linear path, nor was it always "zen."

I've argued with yoga, clashed with it, and doubted it a thousand times.

But every time, somehow, we found each other again.

Today, yoga is my safe space, my way to rediscover myself whenever I get lost.

I don't know if yoga has changed me or if it simply helped me remember who I really was.

But I know I couldn't live without it anymore.
