Alexander Technique as a tool for a Healthier Life

Alexander Technique addresses posture, balance, movement, and breathing issues in a holistic manner. The teacher's central aim is to gently bring the students' attention to the way she uses her own body in activity and how it affects directly its overall functioning. The idea is to slowly cultivate a self-regulating awareness of the body which in time will check for a more balanced and integrated life.

About Me

Teaching is an everlasting passion for me. Even before getting engaged with the other, I've been my own teacher for many years. The whole subject of education, which for me means
transformation, that is to say, using constructive tools in order to overcome limitations and as means of building a more conscious life. The process of education is never finished though. We will always be susceptible to change. So, if we really want to mature and flourish as human beings, we have to shift our focus from the final goal and all the anxiety envolved and remain attentive to the quality of our being, which in scientific terms means the nervous system's response, when we approach any activity.

Yoga for everyone! (Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin Yoga and Meditation, Breathing Exercises)
Yoga, which I initially adopted as a treatment method following my herniated disc diagnosis, evolved into a practice for both my physical and mental well-being over time.

Dance & Therapy session | Transcendental Embodiment
Are you seeking for a creative and uplifting way to consciously reconnect with yourself ? Transcendental Embodiment is a dance practice that will guide you to embrace your emotions and help you to reach your true authentic self. Through meditative dances, guided imageries, and energy healing modalities. I am here to support and guide you in your process of discovering your inner power through: - energy alignment, guided meditation, breathing exercises - self-expression & subjective experience through dance - expanding your heart space, emotional awareness, and healing in movement and dance - release of stress, judgment, and trapped emotions - grounding, self-care, resilience - and more... The sessions are tailored to the specific needs and capabilities of each individual. *Dance can be a practice of introspection, transformation, and transcendence of one’s subjective experiences into a worldwide journey. * As a professional dancer, teacher, and performance maker I am introspectively processing each working day in consciousness, listening to my upcoming emotions, triggers, or anxiety when it comes to be physically and mentally performative in a team, or as a freelance artist. Instead of suppressing these emotions and creating energetical and mental blockages (that can end up into somatic pains or burn-out): we should pay more attention to these inner warning messages and strengthen our emotional intelligence to be able to cope with the infinitesimal external stimulus and daily-stress of our very fast lives. It can be challenging to sense with clarity what is the origin of some feelings of frustration, unsatisfaction, discomfort, or grief, and it can be intimidating or discouraging to walk alone on that path. This class helps you to commit to your better-being, presence to oneself countering wellness procrastination. * What do you need to feel lighter, brighter, or happier in your everyday life? * * What is your self-achievement potentiality? * - For who? : For anyone who enjoys movement and dance, and desires a better connection and understanding with their moving bodies. / ​One-to-one or group sessions. - ​Where? : Online via SKYPE or at the student's location. Values: Integrity, Transparency, Respect, Cooperation * About TE : Transcendental Embodiment (TE) is the result of three years of research and development. Merging from a movement philosophy research entitled Behind & Beyond, to its phenomenological understanding. The metaphysical unity of the tangible and intangible bodies expounds on the undeniable relationships between those in the physical realm. The tangible body (the material vehicle), the intangibles bodies (psychological, emotional, energetical, and spiritual). As a dance healing practice, guiding the practitioner to conscious corporeality, and subjective emotional understanding, this methodology can also be a useful tool to improve artistry and technical skills on a deeper level, widening mindful creativity, awareness, empathy, and sensitivity. (TE) movement and dance methodology combines a meditative approach in stillness and through movement, awakening the mind, spreading the awareness into different body parts; putting a specific emphasis on improvisation skills, and musicality, following energy impulses and intuitive movement and increasing the flow of energy. Inviting the practitioners to practice resilience, non-self definition, non-judgment, self-care and self-love, integrity, and acceptance to overcome technical, physical, and mental limits holding the practitioner from his self-achievement potentiality. This approach builds itself crescendo on subjective movement reflexivity and introspective journey through the following process: Feel free to contact me for any inquiries. Tiffany

Yoga classes for beginners and intermediates – Focus on physical and emotional health (Hatha, Vinyasa, Restorative)
Hello! My classes are adapted to each person's health, age, and mood. Before starting, we always assess how you feel, as sometimes the body needs a more dynamic practice to activate itself, while other times it requires something more relaxing and gentle. Movement through the asanas is always guided by breathing, which helps us stay connected to the present moment and calm the mind when it becomes filled with thoughts. I am particularly sensitive to those who suffer from specific physical conditions or who live with a pathology. Years ago I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that led me to approach yoga and other beautiful holistic disciplines such as astrology, tarot and Bach flowers, with the desire to better understand the functioning of the human being, both on a physical level and - above all - emotionally. Over time, I've learned to listen to my body's message and have come to understand that behind many illnesses lies a deep disconnection from oneself and a lack of self-care tools. Through a restorative and anatomically conscious approach, I adapt the practice so that each person can move safely, confidently, and respectfully toward their own limits. The goal of my classes is to help you regain balance on all levels: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. I'll wait for you on the mat!

Vinyasa Yoga Sessions (In Person or Online) – At your own pace and in your own language
Are you looking for a yoga practice tailored to your needs, goals, and physical condition? I offer personalized Vinyasa Yoga sessions, a dynamic discipline that combines mobility, strength, and conscious breathing. I offer private lessons from 30 minutes to 1 hour, for teenagers, adults, and seniors, at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. 🔹 Each session includes: A short guided meditation and breathing exercises (pranayama) A fluid practice of linked postures (asanas), designed to connect body and mind through conscious movement A final moment of relaxation (Shavasana) to integrate the practice 🗣️ Classes can be in Spanish, English, or French, depending on your preference. 👥 In addition to being a yoga teacher, I am a professional coach, accustomed to helping people of all backgrounds achieve their personal and wellness goals. 📜 I am RYT 500 certified (over 600 hours of training) and have been teaching yoga since 2020, both online and in person. I trained and taught first in Bali, then in Mexico, before settling in Spain, where I have lived for several years. 🌍 I'm passionate about sharing this transformative practice in a way that's accessible, relatable, and tailored to each individual.

Meditation and self development for a peaceful living
Meditation is a gentle practice of turning inward — to calm the mind, connect with your inner self, and experience peace. In a fast-paced world, it offers a way to slow down, breathe deeply, and restore mental clarity. Through regular meditation, we become more mindful, emotionally balanced, and spiritually centered.
