And tomorrow is only a vision,
But today, well lived,
Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,
And every tomorrow a vision of hope."

A journey of self discovery is a long and arduous process; Mine began aged 13 after leaving Portugal to head for England. What followed were days of music, dance and drama; disciplines that taught me about self expression... yet I needed more, and so my search began. I stopped dancing and stumbled into a gym yoga class, which was a disaster. Disappointed, but determined to find an alternative to dance, I once again pursued yoga. After 5 months, my interest in yoga deepened; I began to research the non physical aspect of yoga. Over the next 3 years, I noticed changes in myself as an individual. Yoga created an internal environment of tranquillity and calm. The daily practice taught me self discipline, concentration and focus. And it is through yoga that I have learnt to apply these benefits into my city lifestyle in London. Shortly after the discovery of my love for yoga, I decide to become a yoga teacher. I wanted to give others the opportunity to experience yoga and it's benefits as individuals; whether it be for physical exercise, or as a spiritual deepening. I trained in Thailand with my teacher, Paul Dallaghan, and shortly after trained as a pre-natal and post-natal yoga teacher with Colette Crawford in Seattle, USA. Since my training, I have continued and deepened my own practice, been teaching vinyasa style private and group classes, and one-on-one pre-natal classes.It is through my love of teaching yoga that I have decided to continue following this path far beyond
To me, yoga is an artistic expression of the self. The yoga I love to teach is a reflection of my soul and as a teacher I aim to use my intuition and self-confidence, to acknowledge and respects others as I learn to do with myself. My classes are an opportunity for me to share experiences and to sense ultimate truth and trust with my students. With dedication, I will lead my students into an experience which encourages them to search within their own individual souls, and to acquire forgiveness. Come with an open mind, let go of all expectations and I guarantee, you will learn something about yourself, be it on a physical, emotional or spiritual realm. I'll be looking forward to seeing you in my class!
Namaste,
Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti
Om Peace, Peace, Peace

I am a mother of 3 grown up children and a grandmother
of 1. My move to Portugal was long over due and finally moved in
January 2007. I wanted to move earlier, but was haunted by the birth
of my wonderful granddaughter. Formerly I was a dance teacher of
ballet, American tap and Modern Jazz dancing. It was in 1993 that
I developed and interest in complimentary therapies, so chose to
start studying them. I continued teaching up until 1998 when I decided
to change careers. I am now a qualified therapist in many subjects
and also teach others to become therapists through BSY organization.
In addition, I am a distributor and network builder internationally
for Forever Living products (www.kimaloeuk.co.uk), helping individuals
to benefit from the fabulous 100% aloe vera based products. I also
help people build home based businesses in the health and nutrition
market, full or part-time. I look forward to my future and offering
my services to others here in Portugal. |
