Instructors
Laura Serrano de Pedro
Laura was combining her PhD in Marine Biology with her career as a dancer when she realized she was not happy. So, she decided to quit everything and start to explore. Her creativity took her to become a professional photographer. She worked for all sorts of persons and brands for seven years. But when she first tried yoga in 2006, it was love at first sight. In 2015, she decided to be a certified yoga teacher (RYT 200) and realized this was her path. Since then, she has joined all sorts of coaching, dance, and yoga trainings. She is also a birth doula and mom of two.
Martina Doova
Martina started dancing when she was four years old with ballet and skater, later turning into a competitive ballroom and Latin dancer. After finishing her Information Management and Marketing studies in Slovakia, Martina packed her bags and came to live the life of her dreams. Waking up to the sound of the ocean waves, having the sun warming up her face all the time, and feeling the salty breeze in her hair—that was what she dreamed of. And that is what she found in See Yoga. She will be the one assisting you before coming and meeting you on the dance floor.
