my Story

Namaste. I am Carolina, Yoga teacher specialized in Integral Yoga.

Since my childhood I have always been interested in philosophy, metaphysics and wanted to learn about other dimensions which go beyond material existence. I dreamed about making the world a better place and dedicating my life to helping others. I studied Law and Political Science and Administration with the idea of keeping on studying a postgraduate on Human Rights because I wanted to promote balance and equity and used to think that through understanding the rules, processes, structures and the way in which our material world works, I would be able to help others live a better life.

My Yogic Path started in my early twenties when looking for ways to cope with an experience of bereavement. I was focusing on my studies and keeping myself busy with multiple activities so I didn’t have to leave any space for thinking about my grief. In those days, I first developed my practice mainly through Jnana Yoga – by the study of Yogic texts and learning through books.

The last years of university I was living a very stressful life, studying, working and barely sleeping the few hours that I had available. Yoga continued helping me by finding ways to relax, calm, concentrate and focus. I kept on deepening my practice by attending workshops, sharing and learning with other yogins – Yoga practitioners.

After finishing my degrees, working in the legal department of a corporation dealing with customer’s complaints didn’t make me feel I was helping the people but the corporation’s interests instead, so submerged in a transcendental crisis, I quit my job, and tried to redefine my purpose in life. In those days, Yoga was a salvation which helped me recover from the burnout experienced and find a new purpose besides my feelings of failure. I decided to start from scratch and became an entrepreneur running a self-started business in which I could find fulfillment for many years, developing artistic skills as well as communication, co-ordination and organizational skills among others.

I kept on researching, deepening and developing my – sadhana – Yogic Practice. As the interest in finding answers to existential and transcendental matters grew even more during those years, I deepened my self-study and went on a process of transformation turning inwards, which helped me heal and be able to experience the joy and ecstasy of life. I felt that I needed to share that experience, and therefore, I decided I wanted to dedicate my life to teaching. So in my thirties, after many years of practice, I embraced a Yoga Teacher Training for two years. Since then, I have developed my teaching experience by designing and delivering group lessons in community centers, leading family-oriented, mother-oriented and children-oriented workshops, as well as others about chakras, meditation and pranayama, among others.

In the meantime, first I became a mum, a few years later a second baby arrived in our family, and furthermore, with a toddler and a baby, we also moved from country due to some familiar circumstances and opportunities. Yoga has helped me adapt to the challenges which have come along with these transitions. As a result, here I am adapting again to the circumstances, living a new adventure, following my Yogic Path with the same project in essence, but this time mainly online.

From the perspective of Integral Yoga, working from a holistic approach with all the dimensions of human being, I offer a variety of classes for working with your physical, vital-emotional and mental bodies in order to promote a state of peace, bliss and well being which facilitates connecting with your inner self, allowing it to express, developing your full potential, in order to live a life in harmony with yourself and the environment, experiencing oneness.
