MEET BRUNA
Bruna, born and raised in Barcelona, connected with Asia at a young age. During the last decade she studied in China and India. Her interest in human nature, health and well-being inspired her to study nutrition, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), acupuncture and yoga.
Bruna integrates yoga and TCM into her classes in a simple manner allowing students to enjoy, understand and experience "re-balancing" benefits.
Bruna's classes are based on meridian hatha yoga, yin yoga and acupressure release. It is through the breath and slow mindful movement that Bruna's students relax, nourish their entire body and discover deep understanding and freedom within.
Bruna brings a therapeutic, accessible and light approach to yoga. She shares balanced body movements, practical tools and knowledge to help students restore harmony and well-being.
It is Bruna's intention to enable her students to listen to and fulfil their unique needs.
TEACHER
MEET SONSIE
Sonsie stumbled upon yoga at a young age. It became her refuge during her law studies and prior legal career. Slowly, slowly, step-by-step, she deepened her practices until she began teaching.
Sonsie has been privileged to teach around the world (UK: Glasgow; Canada: Montréal; South Goa: India & Wellington, New Zealand). It is her pleasure to share the sacred art of yoga in Delta de l’Ebre, Catalonia.
Sonsie teaches a meditative vinyasa flow. For her, ‘flow’ is a state of mind. Within a yoga flow there is a full immersion into each movement, breath and moment. She encourages students to embody the rhythm of their breath and to observe, without judgment, any resistance to what's alive right now : Students explore and express their own truth and simultaneously experience constant change ~ impermanence.
In brief: LLB – Bachelor of Laws; There is a long list of inspirational teachers that Sonsie has studied with. Her core training has been alongside Jason Crandell, Tara Judelle and with Vipassana meditation.
