About
My name is Inês.
Não tenho morrido comes from a poem about life and death from Martha Medeiros (read it here). Life and death intertwine and that movement has been a theme of my observations, a central point for my evolution as a human being, always reflecting and questioning, observing and wanting to live a fuller and more meaningful life.
I am Portuguese with roots in India which is my second home, where I return again and again for inspiration.
The natural world has been present since I was a baby. I grew up surrounded by animals and always with a great sense of protection of by beloved wild.
With a degree in Biology, more than 2000 hours of Yogic studies and practice, herbalism and lots of time in the wild and now with almost a year of death studies. I offer guidance in times of transition. Helping you finding grace and ease when the world shakes.
I weave the mystical, mythological and practical side of Yoga with the wisdom of the Earth and Body to tend to grief and all that comes with the crossing of life’s challenges.
Returning to wholeness.

I am grateful for my privilege to be able to travel to India and study with teachers and learn from its great traditions. I acknowledge India and it’s people, where Yoga comes from, and I offer respect to all the masters, yogis and yoginis, richis and babas that passed down all the wisdom with Guru-Shishya Parampara, so we can practice and study today.
