Where is my Temple?
My temple is a little paradise at my home in Binningen.
It is a very special room full of light and good energy! Here you will find all that you need for a yoga session or a massage/ritual.
And I love my garden... it is an extension of my Temple!
There live the guardians of my Temple and my lovely green allies: my precious medicinal plants!🌿
Majority of the plants I use for the Rituals and Massages are from there... Yes, it is true! :)
I make my own massage oils from the plants of my garden... The foot baths and yoni steams are with plants also from my garden...
During the winter I keep them dry and use to make teas, oils, tinctures, foot baths, bajos and so on... such a precious medicine all over the year!
Of course all organic and full of love! Like every Ritual, every massage and every yoga session!
You are very welcome to visit and drink a herbal tea with me!

THE YOGA DOULA INFORMS AND INSPIRES THE MOTHER-TO-BE, HELPING TO AWAKEN MOTHER´S INTUITIVE POWER, MAKE GOOD CHOICES FOR HERSELF AND TAP INTO HER INNER POWER AND WISDOM.
Why should you receive a Yoga-Doula support?
🌼Because many women today are socially isolated, sometimes lacking feminine transmission may feel disconnected from their body/mind and spirit needs as woman and ignore their innate mother wisdom.
🌼Because the hyper medicalization of most birthing process makes women resign to their true needs during birth, and react with fear or passivity during birth process, the Yoga Doula may inspire her to reconnect to her power.
🌼Because the Yoga Doula can contribute for a better physical, emotional and conscious preparation of the mother and her partner, and optimize their experience of the precious transformation of pregnancy, birth intensity and the deep change of life when baby arrive.
🌼Because the Yoga Doula can make a significant life amelioration of new mother life and baby, if the Yoga Doula nurture her after birth for some weeks.

The power of touch can be magical when applied with awareness, intention and lots of loving presence.
And if by touching we combine the power of oils, essences, plants, crystals, mantras... then we create conditions for the harmonization of the body on the physical, energetic, emotional and spiritual levels.
Receiving a massage can touch every layer of our being. Physical, but also emotional and psychological tensions are released.
Space is created for the body to enter its own
self healing and harmonization.
It is not the massage that heals. But it is the massage that creates conditions for the body to heal itself!
MEMORIES OF PAIN, EMOTIONS OR FEARS ARE UNLEASHED... AND THE BODY FINDS ITS WAY BACK TO "HOME"... TO ITS HEALING, HARMONY AND NATURAL BALANCE.

ROSE CEREMONY:
A love celebration for the New Year

A little glimpse about the benefits of Rose:
From the ancient Egyptians to Hippocrates to Ayurveda to Hildegard of Bingen to Nicholas Culpeper (all historical cultures/systems/people steeped in the lore and use of botanical medicines), roses have been used and recommended for such various ailments as wounds, inflammation, women's health, stomach complaints, headache, dizziness, grief and heartache, and colds & flu (to name just a few).
Rose carries the medicine of softness and strength. Of all the many ways it brings healing, one of the most important is by reminding us that softness and strength can co-exist. In fact, they must co-exist.
Power without vulnerability isn't strength; real strength always contains an element of vulnerable openness to life, to others, to sharing the truth of ourselves with the world.
Likewise softness without an underlying structure of strength, sureness of self, and integrity is bound to collapse in on itself, crushed under the weight of other people's demands and expectations.
Alongside its silky petals are rose's sharp thorns, which remind us to keep our boundaries intact and to balance our soft openness with a strong sense of discernment between what/who to allow into our space and what/who not to. The importance of this on a person's life cannot be overstated.

I used to not like Christmas because reminds me the shadow of the humanity: exaggerate materialism and consuming; dysfunction families or even not honest feelings.
Maybe I always have been too sensitive to sense when something was not honest, authentic and true.
But after diving in its roots, I realized it is a beautiful season and can be celebrated with meaning and true feelings!
Christmas is a ritual of passage with its roots in very ancient times.
Since Samhain the night was longer and darker but very necessary because is so important the death as the life. And Yule or Christmas brings back the light of the sun gradually!
It is a celebration of the rebirth of the sun!
More dark it is, more we have conditions to silence our minds... calm down the inner winds and let go what is old and not useful.
We close the eyes to meditate and trough meditation we awake our inner wisdom.
Diving in a inner journey, we can ignite the flame of our hearts. Awaken the inner sun and let it shine our deepest nature: pure and unconditional love.
And to celebrate the gifts of this season and the coming of a new year I will guide a very special Rose Ceremony at Loosloo next Saturday:
"The Rose is one of the most ancient botanical medicines
known to humans."
Exquisite, graceful, alluring, the rose is associated with sophisticated beauty and love. But the rose is much more than an ornamental flower adored for its heady aroma. The healing medicine of the rose is extraordinary and under-appreciated, and using roses as food and medicine can offer us deep physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.
What will do in this ceremony?
We will start with a bioenergetics practice (movement and breath) to prepare our bodies to receive the rose medicine.
Then we will drink a tea made of Compassion Rose Petals from my garden while we will make a heartfulness meditation (which is mindfulness of the heart). This will be the heart of the ceremony. We will “drink” the medicine of rose and will let sink deeply in our being.
After we will dance freely as a celebration of love.
And in the end we will seat in a circle for a simple but very beautiful ritual 28 December

Come and stop... first exhale... let it go any tension, excessive thoughts or intensive emotions...
Create inner space for the new energy...
And inhale and let come in new life!
Let’s flow dancing with the music of the breath.
And embrace any sensation, though or emotion that comes to the surface.
Go down to the roots and let the heart blossom.
Every Thursday 12:30 to 13:30 Vinyasa & Yin Yoga
Or private classes from 1 to 3 women at my Temple in Binningen (the classes are design suiting the needs and may integrate different yoga traditions)

I love to guide a yoga class as a spiral... like the spiral of life!
Rooting down... feeling save and grounded to let go and open.
Engaging a more dynamic flow rising a more Yang energy.
Between the movements resting and feeling more and more deep.
More close to the end embracing a more yin energy... looking inside, breathing to parts of the body that are asking... embracing every thought, emotion or sensation that rises from the inner space and letting go into the inner space... and embracing and letting go again and again...
In the Savasana for deep relaxation creating space for assimilation and integration.
Sealing the practice with a mantra and smiling to the new energy and new life that was risen in all the being.

CERRADA REBOZO:
This ritual originates from the ancient Mexican Tradition and should be performed at the end of the 40 days postpartum or at any other time in the mother's life.
But is it just for mothers?
No, it is for any women who have lived intense physical and emotional times recently or in her past.
During TRANSITIONS the woman opens physically, emotionally and spiritually. Her focus is on the new big project or on overcoming a deep grieve, sadness or even on adapting to a new stage of her life. After these times she feels vulnerable, empty, emotional and too open... she needs help for alignment on all levels of her being.
What is the meaning of this ritual for postpartum?
The Cerrada Rebozo is a beautiful way to honor a mother's hard work and helps to close her physical and emotional body. In the process of pregnancy and childbirth, a woman is very open at the physical, emotional and spiritual levels and may feel very vulnerable, tired and emotional. Because of the intensity of the hard work of bringing the baby to the world, traditional mexican medicine and the wise abuelas advise the woman to close her body and mind before she leaves her cocoon and returns to the world. Physically, this ceremony helps facilitate the alignment of the pelvic bones and abdomen and hip muscles. Emotionally, this ceremony helps women feel nourished and respected as mothers and feel strong again after the intensity of birth - not just the birth of the baby, but of themselves as mothers.
I received this ritual from the linage of the Mexican midwife Angelina Martinez Miranda. Can be performed simple or be combined with a very special herbal bath before the Cerrada Rebozo.
Where do I offer these services?
In my temple in Binningen. But in special cases I can go home, in Switzerland or France.

I met Yoga at age 16 when I discovered a huge double scoliosis. According to the doctors the scoliosis was so serious that it could have blocked me of having a normal life.
Yoga has just not relieved me of many aches and has greatly improved my condition, but also it has been a lifelong passion!
I graduated as biologist and worked as scientific researcher for 7 years. But in 2007, I give up of my job at the university to dedicate myself exclusively to Yoga, Meditation and Massages.
Since Yoguini,
Yoguini forever . . . 🧘🏼‍♀️
I started my main Hatha Yoga trainings in the Yoga Integral School in 2005.
I became Yoga Teacher and, later, Yoga Master specialized in Yoga Therapy and Vinyasa Yoga.
In 2007 I was certified as Tibetan Yoga Teacher and in 2011 I became Mindfulness Meditation Teacher.
Few years ago I deepened my Yoga studies with Ancient Tao, Shakti and Kundalini Yoga.
Recently I started a Yoga-Doula training and I teach preconception, prenatal and posnatal Yoga; Mami & Baby Yoga.
How are the classes I teach?
We will always root down into our bodies and into the Earth trough slow movements synchronized with the breath.
Bringing our awareness to our womb/hara center we will calm our minds and find inner stability. And if you are mother I will ask you to connect to your belly and baby.
Gathering the energy into our hearts we will melt our thoughts and will dissolve our tensions into the soft and vast space of our deep consciousness.
I teach in English, Spanish or Portuguese.
Where do I teach?
Thursday - 12:30 - 13:30 - Vinyasa & Yin Yoga Yoga Basel

I love to give massages and when I can bring to it the medicine of plants even better... 🌿
A herbal pinda massage comes from the oriental and Ayurvedic medicine. The pindas are a natural preparation of aromatic and medicinal herbs that are wrapped in a bag-shaped cloth made by hand that are heated. These are applied to the body in order to enhance its soothing, moisturizing and detoxifying properties.
The function of the massage with pindas is to balance: mind, body and spirit with relaxing massage manipulations and the therapeutic power of herbal medicine and aromatherapy. With the pinda, pressure is made on the body causing therapeutic effects that activate the body at an energetic and physical level. Draining lymphs stimulates circulation and creates a relaxed state.
When performing a massage with herbal pindas we are getting a double benefit of relaxation and components provided by them.
This massage is particularly effective in improving blood, lymphatic circulation, and metabolism as well as relieving tension in the muscles.
It induces physical and spiritual harmony.
BENEFITS:
🌿Body relaxation
🌿Stimulation of muscles
🌿Increased muscle flexibility
🌿Helps overcome insomnia
🌿Ideal to combat stress
🌿Removes toxins from the body and keeps the skin elastic and toned
🌿It is very moisturizing
🌿Help in cases of rheumatic diseases for its has a great anti inflammatory effect
🌿Increases resistance to disease
🌿Harmonizes the different body systems
🌿Relieves migraines and prevents them from happening

Rose Ceremony: A love celebration for the New Year

I invite you to a special rose ceremony that will prepare us to let go the old year and embrace with love, grace and open heart 2020.
What will do in this ceremony?
We will start with a bioenergetics practice (movement and breath) to prepare our bodies to receive the rose medicine.

After we will dance freely as a celebration of love.
And in the end we will seat in a circle for a simple but very beautiful ritual. For this ritual I will ask you to bring a rose (at any colour) and a small stone (you can pick it in the Nature). Please note the stone after the ceremony it will return to the nature.
