  • Bhakti Nova school offers a devotional and inspiring training for those who want to learn and teach yoga from a heart centered perspective. 
  • Deeply rooted in Bhakti and traditional Hatha Yoga, the teachings and techniques offered in this training are of embodied and sacrred wisdom; spiritual and physical alignment; pratical and applicable to one's daily life.

  • Nurturing and honoring the feminine aspects of yoga, Bhakti Nova school mission is to support the awakening of inner strenght, devotional heart and service to the world.

  • I want my yoga students to feel that their yoga sadhana transformed their lives and opened their hearts to more Divine Love and to more Spiritual Light for themselves, sprinkling the path of their lives with many auspiciousness signs. And I hope that this special awakening will infuse their lives with a deeper purpose, to positively affect their human relations and to empower them to bring more devotional service to the world.” - Nubia Teixeira, Bhakti Nova school founder.

  • "Nurture yourself, your family, your community, and the planet."

    Bhakti Nova Yoga’s essential philosophies are the simple teachings of the Yoga of Devotion (Bhakti Yoga) and the Yoga of Service (Karma Yoga). Inspired by yogic philosophy, Bhakti Nova School turned some essential yogic teachings into an artistic expression of inspiring  poetry and direct prayer with the intention to awaken and guide the practitioners to activate devotion-force that propel us to become better human beings and bring more goodness and light to our lives and to our world.
    Bhakti Nova Yoga’s essential physical structure are the aligning poses of Hatha Yoga, the sacred geometrical shapes of Odissi Dance, and the activating keys of the mudras of the Natya Shastras and of the tantric yogas.  Perceiving the physical body as the Bindu or the focal point of personal and spiritual development, Bhakti Nova Poses, Flows, Ritual and techniques are used to bring spiritual alignment and are target to support with the embodiment of the qualities of firmness, strength, purification, dedication, love, truth, purity, faith and service. 
    Bhakti Nova will inspire those who are new to yoga, and as well as advanced practitioners and yoga teachers, motivating them to bring more embodied Bhakti to their Yoga flows

        To what extent do you feel this program met the following learning objective; The student will become confident with human anatomy within the context of teaching yoga

        Entirely

        This training brought my yoga practice and my teaching so much closer to the center of who I want to be in this world. Since the training with Nubia, I have so much more confidence as a teacher and as a woman speaking the truth, making space for people of different physical abilities and following my heart when it comes to teaching yoga. One of the best things I’ve done as a practitioner of yoga is take this course.

      • Learning Objectives

        Average 4 = Mostly
        1.
        You will leave this 500hrs program with an “embodied ” repertoire of skills to enhance your life, your student’s life and confidently contribute to open their body&heart to the wealth of the Yogic Well.

        Entirely

        2.
        Physically : Learning a vast ground of techniques, physical anatomy, asanas, and ways of inteligently and devotionally moving your body.

        Entirely

        3.
        Emotionally: Encorporating the vast ocean of Inner Yoga techniques like Pranayama, Prayer, Subbtle Body awareness in a way that you feel empowered/inspired to “ teach” and apply these “wisdoms”in yours day to day life.

        Entirely

        4.
        Spiritually : Trough the path of Bhakti Yoga, you will learn how to call upon the benefctors and to tune into the light. Through many techniques like chanting, visualization, prayer, dancing, you will find the value of harmonizing with spirit. The focus is also in awakening to the elements (principles) of Nature within and without, accessing the truth of interdependency and connection to all sentient beings and internally feel the connection of the ONE to the WHOLE.
