Lucia is a certified 500 hrs RYT Yoga Teacher, Gravity Yoga® Teacher, Les Mills Body Balance™ Advanced Instructor, and Animal Flow ™ Level 2 Instructor.
Lucia is also a Korean Taekwondo Black Belt Dan 1 practitioner, Artist (specialised in charcoal portraits) and a Singer/songwriter.
Growing up in Lisbon, Portugal, Lucia has always had a passion for sports, music, and art, practising ballet, gymnastics, and Jazz Dance.
In 2000 Lucia came to London, UK, to do a post-graduation at UCL (University College London) in Electronic Communication and Publishing and settled there since.
The journey that took Lucia to find Yoga started in the UK when she discovered the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre in Putney and was introduced to yoga.
Soon she discovered other styles of yoga such as Ashtanga Vinyasa and fell in love with the physical strength, flexibility, the use of breath and the sense of yin/yang, energy, and calmness it provided.
Several years later, after having a family she decided to change her life course completely and start a career as a Les Mills Body Balance™ instructor (a holistic fitness program by Les Mills inspired in Yoga, Tai Chi and Pilates).
After enjoying teaching Body Balance™ so much, Lucia felt the desire to also teach yoga as previously she had always seen yoga as a personal journey and never considered teaching it.
Currently, Lucia teaches Body Balance™ and Yoga at Nuffield Health and David Lloyd gyms in London and teaches Yoga, Gravity Yoga® and Animal Flow™ online on Zoom at YoFlo Studio, Lucia’s fitness and yoga business.
‘Once a yoga teacher asked me why I wanted to practice and teach anything else than yoga? I suppose it’s because I can’t put all my passion in just one place, but yoga is my secret oasis, that place I come to everyday to feel safe, grounded and full of joy. I love teaching yoga and hopefully making my students feel the same way about this beautiful and spiritual discipline.’
With her experience in other sports, martial arts and her passion for music, Lucia can offer her yoga students a unique experience!
