Joana Cadete passions are family, Yoga, Surf and nature, the main reasons why she chose Ericeira to love. She is a certified teacher by Centro Português de Yoga, and Yoga Alliance as Senior Teacher. She has also certifications in Yoga during Pregnancy, Ayurvedic and Thai Yoga Massage, among others.
She started to practice Yoga in 1995 with Carlos Rui, from the Centro Português de Yoga, and Ashtanga Yoga in 2000 with Tomás Zorzo and Camino Diez, style for which she completely fell in love immediately, and ever since became her personal practice, always under the supervision of her sweet teacher Tomás Zorzo. Fom 2003 to 2008 she had the privilege of attending annually, for long periods of time, the Ashtanga Yoga Institute, Mysore, India, to study directly with the source - Sri K. Patabhi Jois and Sharath, and from that date until today she has been deepening her studies of Yoga, Vedanta and Sanskrit with Swami Dayananda (India), Professor Gloria Arieira, Tomás Zorzo, Pedro Kupfer and Miguel Homem. Since 2000 she is dedicated to teaching, namely Ashtanga Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, Yoga for Pregnancy, Yoga for Children and Teenagers, Yoga Philosophy and Vedanta, conducts workshops and retreats, and organize various events with international teachers. |
I see Yoga as a lifestyle with the yoga poses, the breath, concentration, meditation, the study of the ancient scriptures, and the attitudes in daily life that will reflect all that. She also visits and conducts courses periodically in the Azores archipelago, where she founded the first yoga studio of the region in 2004, and maintains deep bonds of friendship with her students.
Her classes, always inspired by the principle of Vinyasa, the synchronization of movement with the breath, have the particularity of inspiring students for self-observation, and to recognize their most profound nature of tranquility and bliss. |

His passion for movement and martial arts started at a very early age, and in 2001 he grabbed his backpack and went off to travel the world – longing for adventure. Travelling in Asia, in 2004 he found the practice of Ashtanga Yoga, which required full concentration, body awareness and commitment. Through meditation, studying yoga philosophy and experimenting more and more with his body and mind – he realized that he was capable of much more than he have ever thought - both physically and mentally. He completed his first 200 hrs Teacher Training with Tribe Yoga in Goa, India in 2011.
