Your hosts
Alexandra Born
Alexandra had promised herself that she would never in her life attend a yoga class, but how fortunate that she broke that promise!
"It was love at first Savasana, the first time I felt completely present within myself. After that, there was no turning back – I started practicing yoga once a week, increased it to twice, and then 5-6 times a week until I became a yoga teacher in 2010. I love to see the positive effect yoga has on myself and my students!"
Alexandra teaches her classes in English with a twinkle in her eye, humor, and laughter.
Camilla Martinez Mares
Camilla has been practicing yoga since her early teens and discovered the superpower of her breath early on – how she could use her breath to "quiet" her thoughts, to fall asleep easier, and to increase her energy. She later trained as a yoga teacher within ISHTA and thereafter as a breathwork guide
"I love to guide others in breathwork, to let them discover the power of their breath. The beauty of breathwork is that it's something everyone can do – you don't need any special tools or to be super fit."
Camilla also teaches yin yoga classes with elements of reiki.
