Instructors
Juan Basilico
Juan Basilico is a lover of philosophy, healthy lifestyle and metaphysics. If you are looking for a metaphysical experience that goes beyond the experience of the body and mind, Juan would be the inspiration to look for. As he has more than 8 years of yoga experience and a deep knowledge of teaching tarot, chakras, pranayama and asanas.
Laura
Yoga is the journey back to your true self, connecting the body and mind. By sharing her passion through teaching, she gives others a safe space to fully be themselves, and let gratitude flow into their lives. She loves building some heat in a flow, or finding stillness in a restorative practice. She wants people to leave the class feeling the best version of themselves and to take what they have discovered on the mat into the world. She is a strong believer of taking care of yourself to be able to show up for others with compassion, leaving every place better than you have found it.
Shaira Barojas
Shaira, a native Mexican curandera, doula, and apprentice midwife, has been supporting births, celebrations, healings, farewells, beginnings, and countless transformational processes for over 10 years through rituals and circles sustained by the energy of nature and the wisdom of her ancestral heritage, acquired through her journey with the elders of the Anahuac tradition.
