My name is Álvaro, moved to the UK in 2008. I discovered yoga in 2013 as a way to ground myself after many years working in the travel industry. I found the poses and the sequencing took me to another space mentally. I decided to study a foundation 200-hour teacher course so I could explore other aspects of yoga that a studio class couldn't always fit. They say yoga in the west is too physical and I can agree, yet this physicality took my mind to a place of quiet that I want to share.
