Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
What is yoga?
To me, yoga is remembering your true self. It’s the union between your body, your mind, and your soul. It’s the connection with your deeper self. It’s peeling the layers to get to your true self. You start with the body with asanas, then allow your energy or prana to flow with pranayamas, you calm your mind through meditation, deepen your wisdom through knowledge, and finally tap deeper into your soul.
What do you mean by conscious and integral yoga?
This yoga is integral and conscious because it’s transformational. By consciously working on poses, breathwork, and meditation, one works on transforming themselves in order to connect to that deeper self. Yoga can be integral by using the teachings that happen on the mat in everyday life. When you start using breathing techniques, or meditation, or even distinct poses in different aspects of your day, you are integrating the yoga teachings into your life.
In Person Yoga Questions
Are there any packs if I want to continue group classes in person on a regular basis?
Yes. If you would like to join group classes at the beach, there is a class pack of 5 classes for 50 euros. It expires after 6 weeks. There are no public group classes in “The Finca.”
What benefits do I get from having a private class in the mountains?
The “Mountain Yoga” choice offers you a very tranquil and quiet place in nature, completely surrounded by plants, overlooking the mountains, while still seeing the sea below. The practices are very grounding, as we connect to earth during the sessions. You will feel reenergized and reconnected after a session in “The Finca.” All materials are supplied.
Is there a way to get to “The Finca” by public transport?
You would have to take a bus to the town of Guimar. From there it is a 2.5 km walk. Taxis can be an option if you can’t come by car.
Do you offer classes in private homes?
Yes, I offer classes on the east coast of Tenerife, between Guimar and Los Abrigos. The price varies depending on the distance.
What are the benefits of partaking in a private class by the sea?
You will enjoy a one-on-one class where you can deepen your practice and learn tools that you can use off your yoga mat as well. Just as in the other private class options available, this class is catered to your needs. We will use the sound and the movement of the sea for inspiration in our classes. The class takes place on soft sand right next to the sea which also has its own benefits. Walking on this surface brings numerous cardiovascular and circulatory benefits but it is also that sand is one of the best natural scrubs that exist.
Where is “The Finca” located?
It is located in the upper part of Guimar, about 2.5 km away from the town center. Guimar is a town that is 25 minutes from Santa Cruz, and about 35 minutes from El Medano. When you sign up, I will send you detailed directions to the house.
