Joana Cadete
Certified Hatha Yoga Teacher, Certified Yoga Alliance Senior Teacher, Ashtanga Yoga, Yoga for kids and Prenatal Yoga Teacher
|
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 that comprehends various disciplines, like the asana, pranayama, meditation, the study of the ancient yoga scriptures, and our attitudes in daily life that will reflect all that we practice on the yoga mat and study. 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. |

In 2018 started working with children based on alternative pedagogies, which opened a new world for her! From here to the teacher training of Yoga for the little ones was an instant! In Sunshine Yoga he learned a specific methodology of Yoga for pre-school and school children, very fun and uncompetitive, with the aim of developing the child's potential as an all, creative, intuitive, ethical, physical, etc. capacities. The only thing she loves more than travelling, is her husband and 2 children that live with her in Ericeira! |
I deeply believe that if we put a seed in all children who touch our lives, we are actively contributing to a change of mentalities and a world more nourished by love! |
