Thrive Guide

About

I attended my first yoga class 11 years ago in Boracay Island in the Philippines, I fell in love with the practice. I then started my regular practice at Yoga109 in Shanghai (China)– a great studio of Lorraine Aronson.

Early in 2012, I attended a yoga teacher training at The Mindful Academy of Kathy Ward in Spain and became a certified yoga teacher (RYT 200) and therapeutic yoga teacher. Therapeutic yoga is my hobby and every year I attend online yoga courses in this area. In 2013 I also completed yoga for kids training with Rainbow Kids Yoga. I am a mother of two kids and I love to see them having fun with yoga! I have also a diploma in perinatal yoga (pre and postnatal yoga) and baby yoga and toddler yoga with Birthlight. In 2016 I attended a yin yoga training with Josh Summers, I find yin yoga a great complement to active hatha yoga.

Retreat Specialties

My yoga retreats in Santorini at beautiful Caveland have been happening now for 8 years. Here we bring together yoga practitioners from all around the World. During the yoga retreat, we practice twice a day on a secluded outdoor terrace overlooking the local village and the sea. Furthermore, we learn about the island’s history, take stunning photos and taste local wines during a private guided tour. Finally, your relaxation is completed by an hour-long massage of your choice. Of course, a daily fresh vegetarian breakfast is served in the garden right after the morning practice. Above all your accommodation is in historical private caves in Caveland.

What's your personal definition of what it means to thrive?

Action steps are more important than the goal itself. Set your goals, persevere and enjoy the journey.
