Isabela
Isabela, originally from Brazil and a Northern Virginia resident since 2013, embarked on her yoga journey in 2010 while living in Germany. As a yoga enthusiast, she has explored various styles, gradually transitioning from dynamic practices like power and hot yoga to more introspective forms such as Slow Flow, Yin Yoga, and Restorative yoga. Her discovery of Yin Yoga and its connection to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) marked a turning point, deepening her practice and understanding of yoga's healing potential. Isabela, a "covid graduate" with a RYT-200 Vinyasa certification from YogaShak teacher training, has embraced the role of a teacher since 2020, offering her insights and guidance through online classes to a global audience amidst the challenges of recent times.
Dedicated to lifelong learning, Isabela has expanded her expertise through studies in TCM, Yin Yoga, meditation, and pranayama with Yoga Medicine Online. Her teaching philosophy emphasizes the integration of TCM principles to create balanced, therapeutic yoga sessions tailored to individual needs. Outside the studio, Isabela finds joy in nature, whether it's walking her dog, hiking with her family, or simply enjoying the tranquility of the outdoors. She continues to share her passion for yoga and wellness with her husband, two teenage sons, and their Border Collie, Oreo, fostering a sense of community and connection through her practice.
