Cultivating

in Cascais through yoga.

Fabiana has a degree in tourism and worked in this field for approximately 10 years until she discovered yoga. The transition was not only great but challenging. Fabiana has devoted herself to more than 20 years of yoga practice and the study of different types of yoga with various masters in India and Brazil. It was only after knowing the Kaiut Method that she truly felt the connection within. Now she says her life’s purpose is to share her insights, guiding people of all fitness levels and ages to this feeling of unity.

The two passions in Ruth’s life are children and yoga. She couples these beautifully as a children’s yoga teacher, qualified through Kidding Around Yoga. Ruth is a child counsellor in international school settings, working in Canada, the UK, Zambia and Portugal. In this role, she has witnessed the number of children who carry stress, anxiety and dysregulation grow every year. Ruth’s desire is to make yoga accessible for all children and she believes that every child can benefit from yoga to help navigate modern childhood. Her classes are fun and upbeat while providing an opportunity for children to develop the important life skills of self-regulation and stress management. She hopes children can establish a lifelong habit while they are young of creating balance in their lives through yoga.

Edyta trained as a yoga instructor for children with Kidding Around Yoga. Her spontaneous nature and love for yoga and kids make her a great ambassador for a joyful, healthy and mindful lifestyle.

Beatriz received her certificate in Hatha yoga in 2013 in Brazil. Her practice is a dynamic flow between poses, emphasizing body and breath consciousness - so important to practice yoga and meditation. Beatriz also studied restorative yoga and yoga for teenagers. In her work with teenagers, she emphasizes the relaxation of the body, a necessity for students who spend many hours sitting and studying. Beatriz also does meditation for beginners.

Annelise met with Ashtanga Yoga four years ago. Since then, it became her daily practice and spread its effect far beyond what she was first looking for. Each day, she left the Shala with more energy, stronger, and with her mind calmer. Ashtanga is a moving meditation, as the sequence is always the same and the teaching one-on-one based. You will find yourself doing the same sequence each class but it will always feel and be different. This traditional practice creates space for connecting with your breath, your body and your mind.
It is for everyone – at any age, gender or body type, as it is an inclusive practice and adapts to every person, the body and its needs.
Annelise teaches her unique understanding of the practice, following the Ashtanga tradition, and transmits her knowledge with the wisdom of the teaching she received from her own mentor.

As an international educator, she also has facilitated a wellness program for teachers. She firmly believes that yoga can enrich people’s lives in so many beautiful ways.
