I was born in the city of eternal spring, Caracas. All my childhood memories are bathed in the bright and joyfully colored light of the tropics. I grew up surrounded by exuberant nature, climbing mango trees and playing on endless sandy beaches on the shores of the Caribbean Sea. These experiences awakened in me a love for mother earth and a deep respect for the wisdom of nature.<\/p>
From my Basque father, my Cantabrian mother and my grandparents, I learned the spirit of exploration, curiosity and courage. Guided by them, I soon discovered the depth and beauty of art, which led me to study as an Erasmus in Paris, before graduating in Higher Architecture.<\/p>
My teachers at the architecture school taught me, between calculations and design submissions, that knowledge is only one and that all paths lead to this unique knowledge.<\/p>
At this stage I got to know the conscious breathing exercises and began to practice them daily, it was at that moment that I had the first realizations of the power of breathing as a connection between the physical and the metaphysical.<\/p>
I discovered Yoga during a brief stay in Caracas, while working as an architect in London. A dear friend invited me to do a Yoga class with her teacher, the renowned Butoh dancer, Juan Carlos Linares. Yoga was love at first sight, a first contact that changed my life forever.<\/p>
It was while I was living in Tokyo, with a scholarship from the Japanese government as an architecture researcher, when a crisis due to Crohn’s disease that had been with me for years led me to stop everything and return to my home in Barcelona. There, an emergency abdominal surgery and a long postoperative period marked the moment of making a definitive life change.<\/p>
The search for integral health led me to meditation and it was at that moment that the daily practice of Yoga settled in my life as a source of health, connection and happiness.<\/p>
From that moment I live an intense transformation in constant evolution, which nourishes my path of integration of Yoga in life.<\/p>
Years later in Barcelona, \u200b\u200ba friend took me to practice with a teacher who came from New York and that’s how I met Andrei Ram Om. That day something magical happened, Andrei offered a class that was just like my self-practice and I had the feeling that I had always belonged to the lineage of Hatha-Raja Yoga and that I had finally come home.<\/p>
With Andrei Ram Om and his teacher Sri Dharma Mittra, I have learned the determination of Yoga in sweetness. I have recovered the playful vision of childhood and I have felt the connection with nature again.<\/p>
Since then I have been blessed to share more than 3,500 hours of Yoga teachings, mainly in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bSwitzerland and Greece.<\/p>
Currently I live a simple life with my family, Manu and our daughter Irati, on the island of Formentera. From where I share the freedom and beauty of Yoga in training and retreats inside and outside of Spain.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
