Team

I’m Cristina Jiménez, a natural therapist, yoga teacher, and breathwork facilitator. My journey in yoga began at the age of 17 when, after attending a class with my mother, I felt that yoga was the perfect complement to my background in dance and natural therapies. Just two years earlier, I had been in an accident that nearly cost me a leg, and through yoga, I gradually regained mobility. The transformation I experienced went beyond the physical, helping me calm a hyperactive mind, manage anxiety, overcome an eating disorder, and address health issues such as hypothyroidism and SIBO, as well as release traumas like bullying and abuse.

I started practicing Kundalini yoga for seven years, focusing on meditation, mantras, and breathing techniques. Later, I explored other styles, including Iyengar, Hatha, and Vinyasa, the latter of which I decided to train in due to its dynamic approach. Since then, I’ve delved into various practices such as Jivamukti, Dharma, Rocket, Ashtanga, Yin Yoga, Nidra, Restorative, and Katonah Yoga. I’ve always complemented my practice with therapies centered on energy management, emotional release, mental focus, and spiritual connection, including the Inbreath technique.

Since 2014, I’ve been teaching yoga full-time, leading over 50 retreats and conducting thousands of classes. I’ve collaborated in teacher training as an expert in breathwork, mythology, adjustments, sequencing, and mentorship, and I currently co-direct Yin Yoga and Somatic Yoga training. In my classes, the breath is the central focus, aiming to expand awareness, connect with the body, and cultivate deep and pleasurable breathing. My teaching philosophy is grounded in self-respect, permission to simply be, and daily reflection, guiding my students toward holistic and integral health.

Diletta understands the practice of yoga as a way to deepen awareness and respect, cultivate stability and resilience, and embrace creativity and play.

Through the Jivamukti Yoga method, her goal is to create an inspiring environment that allows each individual to fully develop through the practice.

The Jivamukti Yoga method, created in New York in 1984, aims to integrate traditional yoga practices into contemporary life while preserving the essence of ancient philosophical teachings. The method is rooted in the original Sanskrit meaning of the word asana as “seat” or “connection,” emphasizing the relationship with the earth and all beings. It is taught as a spiritual activation, offering the modern yogi a creative approach to living in today’s world.

I was born in Russia, where I studied acting at the Theater and Film Institute. In 2012, I visited a friend living in Barcelona, and from that moment, my heart has remained here forever.

I have trained in various yoga styles, including Ashtanga Vinyasa, Jivamukti, and Yin Yoga, learning from renowned teachers in each discipline. Currently, in addition to teaching regular classes, I also offer Yin Yoga and Hatha Vinyasa teacher trainings.

For me, the practice of yoga is an inward journey—a way to better understand oneself. From that inner connection, we can lead a more conscious, fulfilled, and joyful life, fully enjoying the present moment.

I’m Lau, an Italian yogi living in Barcelona. Yoga completely transformed my life; what started as a personal quest for balance soon became a mission: to share this powerful and transformative practice with others.

Certified in Ashtanga Yoga (200h) and Jivamukti Yoga (Advanced 875h), I blend these disciplines into a dynamic and fluid style. I also integrate meditation, conscious breathing, and mantra chanting to offer a complete and deep experience. My classes are designed to help you move toward your goals at your own pace—strengthening the body, calming the mind, and connecting with your true self.

Yoga changed my life, and now I would love to support and guide you on your own path.

Natalia Rosales, nurse and certified 400-hour yoga teacher.

My journey with yoga began in Chile, during a time of personal crisis and a constant search for fulfillment in my life. It was through a close friend that I discovered the practice of yoga, where for the first time I was able to connect with my breath in a deep and meaningful way. The sensations of calm, peace, tranquility, and joy that I experienced were unique and transformative. Yoga became my refuge and a way of life—a philosophy that helped me piece together the puzzle of my own being.

In 2018, I arrived in Barcelona to begin my training at Mandiram Yoga, where I became certified as a Vinyasa Yoga teacher and found my true passion: sharing the transformative benefits of yoga with others. I’ve complemented my training with modules in sequencing and adjustments, Pre & Postnatal Yoga, and Therapeutic Yoga.
I’ve led hundreds of yoga classes in Barcelona and currently teach full-time in studios, companies, private and group classes, workshops, and events. I have also participated as a trainer in the 200-hour Online Teacher Training at Mandiram Yoga and in the Level II Training for yoga teachers.

In my classes, I like to create a space of care and connection, inviting students to experience dynamic sequences that coordinate movement and breath in fluid and harmonious ways. I offer adjustments and different variations to meet each student’s individual needs. Each class is a unique journey toward calm, balance, and awareness, blending flowing postures with moments of slow movement to encourage self-observation.

I grew up in a community and spiritual environment, where yoga and a connection with nature were an essential part of my life. My yoga journey began at home, guided by my parents and teachers such as Zali Folly and Chidanandi Sheri Cherokee.

I am an experienced teacher (E-RYT) with Yoga Alliance, with over 1,000 hours of training in Vinyasa Yoga, AcroYoga, and Yin Yoga. I have participated as a speaker at international festivals and complemented my learning with studies in Human Development, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Thai Massage.

In 2007, together with my partner Cecilia, we founded Árbol del Yoga school in Guadalajara, Mexico, dedicated to sharing the tradition of yoga. Since then, we have trained more than 500 teachers in various certifications.

My teaching integrates Bhakti, meditation, movement culture, and a sense of community, embracing yoga as a continuous process of transformation.

I’m Valeria Figueroa, a Venezuelan yoga teacher based in Barcelona for the past 9 years. I enjoy a simple, slow life, nature, singing, my dog, and yoga.

I offer fun and challenging Hatha Raja sessions, as well as deeply calming and restorative sessions with Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, and healing sounds.

My practice is diverse, as it supports me in different ways throughout life. I incorporate mantras, pranayamas, and Yoga Nidra to experience aspects of the practice that go beyond the physical body.
