Francesca
I discovered yoga 15 years ago in Rio (Brazil ). Back in Nice I started practicing and studying by myself as yoga was not popular at that time and 3 years later I was finally able to share my practice with others. In 2011 i take a course in Kids yoga in Paris (Rainbow kids yoga) and this same year i discovered Bikram yoga and that was a love at first sight. Fall 2012 i graduated from Bikram Yoga College of India in Los Angeles and that was my introduction to Bishnu Ghosh lineage, one of the biggest influences on Modern Postural Yoga (and Yogananda’s brother). In 2014 i went back studying this time in Mexico with Tony Sanchez and in 2016 i participated to my first Jedi Fight Club, developed and conducted by Esak Garcia, and reached a more complete teaching method and a more fulfilling experience of yoga asana. I was invited to teach yoga in different studios around the world which gave me the opportunity to spend 5 months traveling and teaching with my husband and my 2 kids. This incredible experience led us open our Bikram Yoga studio in Bulgaria.
I went into my first Bikram class in august 2011 in Michael Gilbourne’s Bikram Yoga Nice and since that day this yoga is an essential element of my life. My discovery began with the physical practice and soon expanded beyond. It’s a moving meditation so you’re healing not just physically, but mentally, spiritually and emotionally. It’s a holistic, life changing experience. The idea of having our studio emerged in 2012. That’s the year when Francesca did the Teacher Training and an year later i was back in Los Angeles to endure this nine week long experience, with the idea to bring this yoga one day to my hometown. In 2017, after more than 13 years in the private aviation i left my job, graduated in Naturopathy in CFPPA Hyères, France and came back to Varna to share what i love.
