Lucia is a yoga teacher originally from Hackney, who now lives and works in Amsterdam. Lucia first tried yoga aged 15 at a studio in London. During this very first class, Lucia felt a powerful shift, a feeling as if ‘time had stopped still…’
Lucia has attended classes, retreats and training around the world in London, New York, Sri Lanka, Mexico, Italy, Portugal and France. She completed her 200 hour teacher training in 2017 and is halfway through her 300 hour YTT in Holland.
Lucia first moved to Amsterdam to complete her BSC in physiotherapy in Amsterdam. She uses this extensive knowledge of the body and of anatomy to lead a safe and thorough class. For Lucia yoga is not just performed for the physical body but also about coming home to yourself in your mind.
Lucia teaches soulful Vinyasa style yoga with lots of emphasis on correct breathing and careful alignment. Her teaching style is creative, gentle and compassionate. Although her classes are based in the vinyasa tradition, Lucia has a lot of training from Sivananda Yoga and she draws from this lineage of classical yoga to design her classes. Expect to move lots around the mat and experience life from different view points.
When not focusing on yoga, Lucia runs a small online business, dances samba and runs. Lucia speaks English, Italian, French, basic Portuguese and is now (slowly) learning Dutch.
“I like to teach and share in a caring and nurturing environment, listening to each individual body and taking things gently, before pushing the body and creating challenges. ”
