MEET BEATRIZ
Teacher, geographer & yoguini
Teaching has been Bea’s only career, since she’s a geographer and had worked as a geography teacher at High School. For the past years she has been working fully as a yoga teacher, both for adults and kids.
She’s thrilled at the prospect of facilitating people to get in touch with their souls, first by being present through the techniques of yoga, at the same time, developing their awareness in other aspects such as social and environmental, which are fundamental to our evolution as human beings.
Bea has completed her first Teacher Training Course in 2018, in Brazil, immersed in an ashram for two months (500h), followed by a residency there for more two months. She took a 200 hour TCC in Hatha and Kundalini Yoga, in Rishikesh, India. She had also completed trainings in Reiki and Thai Yoga Massage.
Decided to spread the seed of yoga in places less exposed to information, like small cities, she traveled 10 states of Brazil during six months, with a project of open yoga classes. She follows the vision and teachings of Sri Aurobindo, who developed Integral Yoga, which is not another yoga lineage or style, but a life philosophy that can be applied combined with different lifestyles and under any circumstance, seeking personal and collective awareness and development.
This way, she lived in India for over a year, most in the international community Auroville, Tamil Nadu, an experimental township focused in human unity and transformation of consciousness, sustained by the principals of Integral Yoga. There, she could volunteer in projects of sustainability and lived fully the yoga as a philosophy of life.
Bea loves to travel the world with the purpose of learning and teaching, connecting to nature and human beings as part of one Divine Whole, but each and everyone with their uniqueness contribution, as Auroville’s theme, “unity in diversity”. In this sense, being Brazilian, she is specially attentive and enthusiastic to the afro-indigenous manifestations, respecting and valuing spiritual knowledges.
Those experiences and background combined with yoga skills are directed to welcome people to a life more conscious and sincere.
What’s your favorite yoga pose and why?
Savasana (corps pose) – symbolizing the ultimate detachment and the cycle of life-death-life, present in all Nature’s manifestation. When we don’t have anything else to do but let it go and relax, reaping the fruits of our previous actions (movements).
Ardha padmasana (half lotus pose) – after preparing my body with the physical practice, I’m able to sit “steady and comfortable” (Patanjali), feeling my safe space and letting myself open to connect to a higher energy.
What is your favorite quote?
All life is yoga.” By Sri Aurobindo.
Just as yoga, it’s simple and deep, illustrating that yoga is not limited to a set of practices, but a posture towards life.
