ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Irene!

I came to yoga at a time when I felt like I was never going to stop. I was coming out of a difficult personal period and was under a lot of stress, my body was tired, and I constantly felt like I was racing against time. I signed up for my first class more than seven years ago, looking for something very basic: to move my body, relax, and leave with a calmer mind. What I didn't expect was that, instead of simply switching off, yoga would confront me with myself. During that hour, I faced my limits, my level of self-imposed pressure, and how difficult it was for me to stop. I left shaken, but with a clear intuition: there was something important there for me.

Before yoga became a part of my life, I had already been searching for tools to help me feel better and understand myself more. I started with mindfulness, made changes to my diet, and became aware of how deeply connected the body and mind are. Nothing was immediate or perfect, but each step brought me closer to a way of living more aligned with myself, and yoga was the crucial step that helped me with the change.

I trained as a Hatha Yoga teacher , the foundation upon which all other styles are built. I particularly enjoy more dynamic practices like Vinyasa or Ashtanga , but I also greatly value the deep rest and mental calm that Yoga Nidra provides , a practice I explored in depth during my training and which I always recommend for slowing down and regaining energy.

My philosophy is simple and realistic: yoga isn't just what happens on the mat, but the space you give yourself each day to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself. It doesn't have to be perfect or last for hours; it's about finding small pauses that help you live more calmly amidst the hustle and bustle of our lives.

I am inspired by accompanying people who arrive with accumulated tension and seeing how, little by little, they leave calmer, lighter and more connected with themselves.
