Your yoga instructor: Patricia Macaya

Thanks to great teachers who have given me life, I have been able to learn and form my personal experience for more than 15 years in the area of ​​therapeutic yoga, yoga for the spine and yoga props (with help elements).

In the same way, they have given me the healing sound of the bowls which have been great therapists in my life, that is why I have deepened in this millenary practice of restoration and harmonization through the quartz bowls, the Tibetans and other vibrational instruments.

I have been able to delve deeper into the body-mind-energy, learning and working on Shiatsu massage, therapeutic massage, anatomy for movement, Chinese medicine and HAKOMI (somatic psychotherapy based on mindfulness).

Grateful I deliver the gift that has been given to me by opening the doors of Yogasana in Barichara to believe and create.
