Johanna Hellinger Yoga em Setúbal

M name is Johanna and i am a passionate yoga practitioner, teacher, nature lover, dancer and surfer. I am a E-RTY500 registered and experienced Yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance International and have been teaching Yoga full-time in Portugal and in France since 2015. I started attending Yoga classes in 2005 to find mental balance and help with low back and sciatic pain. In 2009 I experienced a burn-out and quit my marketing job to volunteer in a primary school and a turtle rescue center an traveled for a year through Central and South America. For nearly 4 years i continued to travel and lived and worked in New Zealand, Australia and California. When I moved to Portugal in 2014 i started to experiment with different Yoga traditions, styles and methods and added movement practises like Pilates. I undertook my Yoga teacher training in the Himalayan mountain province of Dharamsala in 2015 and learned about Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga and Yin Yoga. In 2018 i went back to the Jungle of South Goa, India and continued training with Trimurti Yoga School based on 5 Elements Yoga, Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Through Yoga I found a passion for Anatomy and working holistically with bodies and energetic systems via touch and Massage. In 2015 i trained with Katrin Heuser in Lisbon to become a Thai Yoga Massage Therapist. In addition I trained with Portugals Laughter Yoga ambassador Sabrina Tacconi to become a Laughter Yoga leader. With continuing practise my body and breath awareness improved and i became very interested in the Role of Fascia / Connective tissues in relationship with movement and mood regulation. Since 2018 i trained self-massage and myofascial release with Didier Hartmann, Tom Myers, Robert Schleip, Ellen Saltonstall, Chrys Kub, Christine Wushke, Eric Franklin and Jill Miller. I became a Roll Model® Method Practitioner in 2022 and apply the methods in private sessions courses and workshops to erase pain and enhance performance and body awareness. Since 2024 I have been working as a Yoga teacher trainer for La Casa Shambala in different venues in Portugal and Spain. I teach Yoga Anatomy, Philosophy, Teaching methodology and Asana Practise and Techniques of Yoga. For me, Yoga is the ultimate Form of balance. Once the principles of Yoga are understood they can be applied to anything you do in life - especially off your yoga mat! By practising and sharing my knowledge as a teacher i feel i can bring peace and harmony into every day of my life and empower my students to feel better in their mind and bodies. I love to meet people from all over the world that like to laugh and follow their passion for the things they love doing and being in nature. I feel very lucky and honoured to share my knowledge about yoga, the body and the mind with you.
