Science documentaries have been my go-to type of things to watch for many years, specifically anything about astrophysics and cosmology 🪐
Attending a lecture by UC Berkeley Professor Alex Filippenko last week really hit the spot 🤩 what a pleasure to be in the room with such an inspiring human and to be able to take a selfie haha!
🚀Definitely the highlight of the month 🚀

🎊15 years of San Francisco TODAY! 🎊
15 years ago today - which was Sunday, father’s day - I hopped on a plane SF bound to start a life my partner at the time.
Leaving Brazil, friends and family, a job I loved, everything that was closest to my heart behind to start a new life in this country. It feels like it was yesterday.
A lot of positive changes, personal growth, new career, opportunities to reinvent myself, meet wonderful people, make new lasting friendships and of course, all the goodness yoga has to bring ❤️
Still grateful to all of the gnarly moments of despair and overwhelm along the journey, and I would do it all again, absolutely NO REGRETS.
I♥️SF!

As most of you know, I’m a fierce advocate for doing less, carving out time for down time and for allowing ourselves more space.
I’m quite confident most of us have a lot on our plates as it is, and if I’m being honest, so do I.
These past couple of weeks have been challenging in regards to balance work with down time.
It’s never perfect, is it?
Decided to pop on your feed to remind you that early bird rate for our therapeutic yoga retreat in August ends THIS Monday 4/1.
Just released one last private room for 2, perfect if you wanna bring your bestie or drag your partner 😝
Now that I’ve done my work, I shall crawl in bed after lunch for a long deserved nap in this beautiful rainy Friday ☔️
DM for all the deets.

Finally coming out of my covid induced creativity coma and allowing myself to EXPAND and feel full again ❤️
Embarking on this 3 year professional certification on Somatic Experiencing, I look forward to continuing supporting people learning how to self-regulate when life happens.
Here’s to feeling the uncomfortable healing pains of self-growth!

That is the number of private clients who have fallen asleep on this very mat today.
🥱
I’ve always known one of my main skills as a teacher is to help people unwind, and I’m very glad they feel safe and comfortable in my home studio to do so.
🥱
I woke up today tired and a bit worried if I would have energy to teach 4 classes.
🥱
So I decided to rest in savasana in between clients, first one was 30min, the second was 50min.
🥱
Being in absolute stillness helped me recharge so I was ready and available to my clients. I finished my day feeling full, rather than depleted.
🥱
May we all walk our talk and take time to replenish and recharge ⚡️⚡️⚡️
🧘🏻♂️teaching at Bay Club SF this FRI at 4pm, the usual therapeutic yoga yumminess we all crave!

Given the many years I’ve been studying wonderful yoga tools, it’s in the 1-on-1 scenario that I can open the magic hat and play with all the possibilities!
It’s a fun, creative and co-created process, and even though I usually have a plan, I’m also attentive to what surfaces in the moment.
I’ve been hearing from my clients, for years, that their time on the mat is the best part of their day! 🤩
Granted, I provide the setting and the plan, but it’s their willingness to show up for themselves that feels like the icing on the cake.
I’m launching NOW the PRIVATE YOGA SUMMER SPECIAL, which was created for those of you that have been curious about the benefits of private sessions, but are unsure if it’s a good fit for you.
DM me and I’ll send you the link with all the DEETS!

First time posting in 15 months, did I miss anything? ☺️
I celebrated my 40th with my closest friends back in March, my first time celebrating my day in Brazil in 14 years!
At the moment loving my new place in SF, enjoying solitude, expanding meaningful friendships, nesting and resting ❤️
Listening a bit deeper to my body’s needs and giving it rest when it asks.
Post savasana shot.
99% of my problems and yucky moods go away after surrendering to the universe ❤️
