Yoga - Ana Taboada

Yoga

While I practice yoga I try to feel each asana moving like musical notes played by my body.

Each time I guide, I try to inspire students to feel
beyond the form.

My present passion is the exploration of therapeutics side of yoga trough the energetic, psycho-emotional wisdom of the subtle body.
I teach Hatha, Slow Vinyasa, Shakti, Yin and Kundalini Yoga for Women.

And also Prenatal and Mami&Baby Yoga.

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 can 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.
The breath will be our music and also the way to go deeper into our bodies.
Normally the class moves from more Yin to Yang and again from Yang to Yin and so on... like a spiral of energy as the spiral of life.
In the end you will melt all your body in a deep relaxation for integration and assimilation.

I teach in English, Spanish or Portuguese.

Massages for Women

My passion for massage began in 2004 with my first massage course: Dynamic Reiki. In 2005 I made an education in Ayurvedic massage. Since then I have not stopped my training: Hot Stones, Shiatsu, Thai, Tibetan and Tantric.
To complement my knowledge I still studied for 3 years Traditional Chinese Medicine, I took some courses in Ayurvedic and Tibetan Medicine. I also studied aromatherapy and since then I produce my own oils with essential oils and plants. Herbs and flowers are important allies in my massages and treatments. I plant, water, collect, dry and then I make oils, creams and other plant medicine.

Yoga (Hatha, Flow, Shakti, Tao & Kundalini)

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 and Meditation.
I started my main Hatha Yoga trainings in the Yoga Integral School in 2005. I became Yoga Teacher and, later, Yoga Master specialised in Yoga Therapy and Vinyasa Yoga. In 2007 I was certified as Tibetan Yoga Teacher and in 2011 I became Mindfulness Meditation Teacher.
Recently I have been deepening my Yoga studies with Ancient Tao, Shakti, Kundalini and Yin Yoga.

Dakini Wisdom

Buddhism is my basic philosophy and since 1995 I began to deepen my practice by taking courses, retreats, initiations. In 2016 after Vajravahari's empowerment I felt a huge calling to the sacred feminine in the Buddhist tradition.
I decided in 2018 to become a student of the Magyu Tradition - the mother lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.
As personal sadhanas, I regularly practice Green Tara, Chöd, Prajnaparamita, and Mandala of 5 Dakinis. I love to integrate some of the teachings / meditations in my Yoga Classes, Workshops or Retreats.

Yoga-Doula

After completing my training as a Yoga Teacher in 2009, I took a Yoga Specialization for Pregnancy at the Integral Yoga School.
But 10 years later I decided to deepen my knowledge in a complete Yoga-Doula training. In this course I was trained in Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga; Mami & Baby Yoga; Birth Yoga. As a Yoga-Doula I can support pregnant women and mothers with Yoga, Nutrition, Massage & Ayurvedic Treatments, Emotional / Psychological Counseling.

Fertility & Cycles

For many years I studied and practiced sacred female sexuality. As I began to delve into the topic of sexual healing in women, an interest in female fertility and cycles also emerged. Both themes intertwine, relate to each other. I received practices from different traditions for fertility, tuned to the lunar cycle and adapted to different phases of the woman. I studied natural and ayurvedic treatments for menstrual problems, fertility and menopause. And I deepened the physiology and psychology of fertility.

Women Sacred Sexuality

From an early age I felt a fascination about this subject which led me to the Indian and Buddhist Tantra.
When I felt I needed a more feminine approach I had the privilege of finding Feminine Sexual Vitality practices from the Ancient Tao. I learned Yoni Yoga with several international teachers and deepened my knowledge in Sexual Alchemy trough practices of Kundalini Yoga and Shakti Yoga.

Kundalini Dance

Kundalini Dance™ is an ecstatic embodiment practice for women and men of all ages, experience and fitness levels. It has been taught worldwide since 1992 by Leolah Antara. The passion for dance and emotional alchemy led me, in 2018, to Bali to be certified in Kundalini Dance, a powerful art of Emotional Alchemy. Trough simple movement and breath keys and intuitive dancing Kundalini Dance invites you for a higher emotional transformation. The chakras are our map and the kundalini energy the fire for inner alchemy.

Mayan Astrology

All the cosmovision, as well the Mayan Astrology I have learned with the "sister" Sónia Pereira from Nimaja - Casa Cultural Pré-Hispânica. I was certified as Mayan Astrology by Nimaja in June 2017. Sónia Pereira learn this ancestral wisdom directly from abuelos sages in Guatemala and Mexico, where she lives in the present moment. The Mayan sages asked her to start teaching this wisdom to the world because unfortunately much what comes to the west is not the original Mayan wisdom. I am in love with all this wisdom, a precious compass which guides us into all life.
