Catarina is a Yoga instructor and an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach with graduate studies in Health and Clinical Psychology. She's enthusiastic about creating a safe, compassionate, empathic, and supportive community by encouraging each individual to make simple and positive choices toward living their lives to the fullest. Catarina discovered Breathwork before Yoga, which led her on a transformational journey. Then, in 2010 she completed her first Yoga teacher training in Portugal, where she's from; eight years later, already in the US, she decided to do the Yogaworks YTT in Baltimore and, during the pandemic, also graduated from Bamboomoves Road to Yoga. She's currently enrolled at the My Vinyasa Practice 300H to complement her training with Yin, Restorative, Yoga Nidra, and Trauma-informed. In 2020 she launched the online streaming platform YOGAtv and the community app Sangha WE ARE ONE and recently decided to finally get certified as a Breathwork facilitator to add this powerful technique to her offerings. The type of Breathwork she facilitates is Conscious Connected Breathing (CCB). This contemporary version which evolved from Rebirthing offers shorter and lighter sessions with a progressive emotional release.
