ABOUT ME

My name is Alba, and I am a 26-year-old woman from Catalonia, Spain. I consider myself an honest, cheerful, and sensitive individual with a strong ability to adapt and a deep desire to learn. I am intuitive and guided by my heart.

​

Nature holds a special place in my life—I love mountains, rivers, lakes, and the sea. I enjoy travel without plans. I love cacao. And I love trekking, gentle cycling and running. I deeply value my personal time but also cherish the moments I spend with my family and friends. And yes, I truly love yoga.

​

Yoga became a part of my life five years ago, initially helping me to manage stress and regulate my menstrual cycle. Over time, it has positively impacted all aspects of my life, bringing balance and well-being to both my body and mind. However, it was over the past two years, during my travels and volunteerings across Latin America and Asia, that I decided to immerse myself more deeply in this ancient practice and Yoga evolved into my way of life.

I learned traditional yoga at the Sivananda Neyyar Dam Ashram in India and deepening my meditation practice at the Tushita Meditation Center in Dharamshala, Osho Gangadham Ashram in Rishikesh, and at Wat Pa Tam Wat Forest Monastery in Thailand. These experiences, along with the tools and knowledge I gained during my Teacher Training Courses, as well as the guidance of my main teacher, Raj, have greatly influenced the practices I now share with you.

​

During my time living with ancestral communities, I immersed myself in traditional chants, discovering the joy of music as an expression of the heart rather than a pursuit of perfection. This, combined with the Sanskrit mantras that became the soundtrack of my days in India, deepened my connection to music. Now, I love to end my yoga classes by sharing this journey through the melodies of my guitar, letting the music bring a sense of harmony and peace."​

​

Prior to this journey, I studied a Bachelor's degree in Social Work and worked as a social worker and educator, assisting homeless, migrants, children and individuals with mental health challenges. This background led me to volunteer with "Yoga de Rua," a project in Rio de Janeiro that uses yoga for social inclusion of homeless people.

 

Currently, I reside in Zürich (Switzerland) where I share yoga and also work as an educator in a daycare center.
