ABOUT ME (ALBA)
Yoga became a part of my life five years ago and has positively impacted all aspects of my life, bringing balance and well-being to both my body and mind. However, it was over the past three years, during a journey across Aasia and Latin America , that I decided to immerse myself more deeply in this ancient practice and Yoga evolved into my way of life.
I learned traditional yoga at the Sivananda Neyyar Dam Ashram in India and deepening my meditation practice at the Tushita Meditation Center in Dharamshala, Osho Gangadham Ashram in Rishikesh, and at Wat Pa Tam Wat Forest Monastery in Thailand. These experiences, along with the tools and knowledge I gained during my Yoga Teacher Training Courses i did in Rishikes, India (200H Yoga teacher Training and 100H Anatomy and Yoga Therapy TTC), as well as the guidance of my main teacher, Raj, have greatly influenced the practices I now share with you.
During my time living with ancestral communities, I immersed myself in traditional chants, discovering the joy of music as an expression of the heart rather than a pursuit of perfection. This, combined with the Sanskrit mantras that became the soundtrack of my days in India, deepened my connection to music. Now, I love to end yoga classes by chanting this mantras with the guitar.
Prior to this journey, I studied a Bachelor's degree in Social Work and worked as a social worker and educator, assisting homeless, migrants, children and individuals with mental health challenges. This background led me to volunteer with "Yoga de Rua," a project in Rio de Janeiro that uses yoga for social inclusion of homeless people.
Currently, I reside in Zürich (Switzerland) where I share yoga and also work as an educator in a daycare center.
