Hi! I’m Arleen; growing up in Rincón my life and lifestyle has always been coastal. I love swimming, snorkeling, and paddle boarding. I’ve practiced yoga at home for a little over ten years. I found my new wellness path at Centro La Paz after enrolling in my first Pilates reformer class with Vivienne Miranda. Since then, it’s been part of my wellbeing journey. After a few classes, I joined a Pilates Mat practice with Sara Robles who encouraged me to train as an instructor. In 2023 I completed several Balanced Body courses with second generation Pilates trainer the “Pilates Whisperer” Patricia Welters; a great inspirational teacher and coach. These courses included Pilates Mat 1, Mat 2, and Mat 3, as well as Movement Principles. At La Paz Studio you can experience my Mat class with a focus on Classical Pilates. We will use breathing, balance, control and alignment techniques to engage your body through mindful movements that improves your strength, flexibility and resistance. The results will complement your surfing, paddle boarding, swimming or any Rincón visit experience.

I am a Doula and RYT-500 Sampoorna Yoga, Yoga Nidra teacher. My journey with yoga began in 2008, it sparked my curiosity, but I didn’t take it seriously until I began experience the profound benefits of yoga practice. In 2022 I deepened my practice by completing both the 200-hour and 300-hour Sampoorna Yoga Teacher Training certification programs at Yogi Hari Ashram. Under the guidance of Guruji Shri Yogi Hari, I was given the spiritual name Shanthi. That was an incredible experience with results of positive changes in my body and mind. During this time, I also encountered Yoga Nidra class for the first time. It was magical and inspired me to become a certified Yoga Nidra teacher. I am gratified to share this practice with others, who are seeking for self-awareness, healing, mindful and healthy lifestyle or simply open to experience benefits of Yoga Nidra.

In my teenage years, meditation became a refuge, offering a sense of calm and clarity amidst the complexities of growing up. Discovering its power planted the seeds of a lifelong passion for well-being. This passion eventually led me to an over 10-year career as a personal trainer, where I witnessed firsthand the transformative power of movement on both the physical and mental levels. However, it was a life-changing experience studying yoga in India that ignited my dedication to Kundalini Yoga. This powerful practice, with its dynamic combination of movement, breathwork, and meditation, resonated deeply with me. But my exploration didn't stop there. I delved into the ancient art of sound healing, learning how sound vibrations can influence our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Today, as a certified Kundalini Yoga teacher, I weave these two powerful modalities together in my classes. Through dynamic kriyas (yoga sets), energizing chants, deep meditations, and the integration of sound healing instruments, I create a unique and immersive experience for my students to explore their physical and spiritual potential.

Hi, everyone! My name is Sashely, an architect in training and 200hr certified yoga teacher in alignment-based Hatha Vinyasa and Restorative Yoga from Inner Wellness Studio, with continued education in menstrual health and pre-natal yoga. My inspiration to share yoga stems from a passion for wellness, gentle guidance and holding space for self-discovery, self-care and reflection through asana, conscious breath, meditation and affirmations in both group and private sessions. More than a physical practice, to me yoga is a way of life that allows us to connect to ourselves and the world around us from a place of mindfulness, presence and self-compassion. This ancient practice has accompanied me in my healing journey for several years, transforming my mental health and wellbeing in many ways. It is my sincerest intention to share yoga in hopes that it will empower you to meet yourself in flow with kindness and curiosity. Classes: Hatha Vinyasa Yoga where you can expect a balanced flow of movement and breath, combining gentle and dynamic poses to cultivate strength, flexibility, mindfulness and relaxation. Restorative Yoga where you can expect slow, gentle poses supported by props to help you deeply relax, release tension, renewing body, mind and soul. Sessions are open to all levels of practitioners in Spanish and English. Props and modifications are encouraged, as well as listening to your body with the freedom to move however you feel called to.
