MARA

Practice is a path of learning that, when shared, expands in benefits for all beings. Cultivating this path is the most precious treasure.
For Mara, the class is the perfect time for the exploration of our bodies, inspired by the elements and natural times. It is a soft and deep class whose intention is always in the heart.

His class brilliantly structures the fundamentals of the practice of opposites in balance generating a state of equanimity and contentment, in a timeless space of stillness and calm.
BERENICE
Vinyasa Yoga
Yoga gave me back my confidence… from there, a journey of self-observation began, cultivating patience, love and acceptance to all the processes of my life, through constant practice.
Yoga came into my life after a hip injury and has been my best medicine. Within my practice, I have come to find deep spaces that have allowed me to observe new things and to experience moments of lightness, peace and contentment.
Inhabiting the body through conscious breathing, we explore different forms of the physical body, allowing us to feel wellness and harmony through self-observation.
ARTURO MACÍAS
Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga
Yoga is the art of finding balance in the dance of duality; we nurture with our light and learn from our shadows. In this dance we find fulfillment and inner peace.
YARI
Yoga Prenata
For Yari it is a wonderful experience to be able to be present in the process of a mother waiting to give birth. She is trained as a prenatal yoga teacher at the Ananda Yoga from the Heart School and shares with deep dedication the teaching she received from her beloved teachers.
It offers a loving practice focused on postures, breathing, meditation and relaxation that are adapted to the specific needs of pregnant women.
Prenatal Yoga cultivates an experience of deep union, generating optimal health of the body and mind, unifying the physical, mental and spiritual development of the mother with the development of her baby.
ZVERKO VICTORY
Prenatal Yoga
Yoga is union with the creative principle, remembering what is true. It is the living experience of the present moment, here and now, paying homage to life in every act…
Yoga is a useful tool to grow in consciousness and love…
For me, sharing, Yoga is the great learning that comes from the intention of service to others. I feel an immense joy to share the teachings that were transmitted to me with such beauty and devotion by my teachers. Thanks to the masters of all times.
YOGATHAN
Vinyasa Yoga
I practiced yoga for more than four years with a sports exercise approach. However, it was until I trained as a yoga teacher at Casa Ānanda at the YTC that I discovered that yoga is a discipline of love in which the geometry of the postures leads us to heal and empower the body to the fullest. With meditation, it is possible to feel the essence that lives in the human body and discover that we are much more than a physical body. That inspires me to become a teacher and to lead others to this magnificent discovery.
BENJAMIN
Vinyasa Yoga
Free, rebellious, passionate about nature, color, music, movement and silence, that’s where I found the medicine, the cure for my body and soul. I like my practice to be deep and profound, to go to spaces where we almost never go, that is my mission, there is the joy, the liberation of the Self, to play with the imagination and to continue having fun through body exploration, basic. I love Yoga because I love life. Through the practice I have found mental acuity, body control and strength, structure in my personal life and an enormous spiritual growth, expansive, absolute freedom, pure love. To connect, to know the body that habit and mind is now a real pleasure, to know that through my experience I can guide and help others in their journey of growth and self-knowledge is pure bliss and true joy. I decided to take this path of teaching and mastery, because it is not only about learning, but also about sharing and now “sharing” has become an absolute necessity and I live it with a lot of passion and dedication. After everything I have already been through, this is where I took a pause and life regained meaning and direction.
And now, Yoga…
KARLY
Yoga Kids
In the search for my inner peace I found the path of yoga, which is a wonderful discipline that provides stability, clarity, awakens our self-love and gives us balance by recognizing the higher self that dwells within us, in my particular case I am passionate about teaching children, as they have their essence very present, they are free and loving. Through yoga they can maintain that essence, and understand that they are unique and very valuable. I am very interested in sharing yoga from the heart as my teachers taught me and to keep this flame alive through time for many generations to come.
